Veteran zones lore reasoning question (SPOILERS)

SlasherZet
Greetings, I was kinda confused by the ending of the main story.

Meridia tells you that you need to experience the other alliance zones to understand who the real enemy is (I assume that's other daedric princes) and that she will conceal your true identity to other people.
But then Cadwell says you should touch the crystal in the Harborage if you want to find out how it would have played out if you washed up on a different shore.

My question is: Are these veteran zones supposed to be a "what if" kind of thing, meaning they never actually happen and you simply go through the journey that *could* happen if you washed up somewhere else, but have no actual impact OR are you really going through the zones in the real world as someone else (concealed by Meridia) and basically undermining the efforts of your original alliance and aiding the enemy for real?

    Yes.
    @d0e1ow: There is no singular thing within a game's little ecosystem that will convince you that you hate the game, hate your life, and hate everyone around you faster than the game's official forums will.

    @TaffyIX: Life is too short to get upset by a video game.

    Sounds kinda meh, really takes away the feeling of making an impact on the world...

    Even stranger, it's like you are sent back in time to before you stopped the plane meld, yet this time you are doing nothing to stop it because you aren't redoing the main quest.

    In my headcannon none of this is happening and my characters story is on hold until more actual content is released. I'll grind out the vet levels in a non-RPG fashion.

    The funny thing is that none of it actually is happening. :)
