Summerset before the First Aldmeri Dominion ?

I just created a very young female Altmer Sorcerer, born in Alinor on 11 Frostfall 2e556.
There doesn't seem to be any documentation (at least I cannot find any) about the history of the Isle of Summerset before Queen Ayrenn came into power and create the First Aldmeri Dominion. Difficult to create her backstory.
Does such documentation exist ? What was the political situation there before the Soulburst ? How much were they involved with the continent of Tamriel ?

During the afternoon of Loredas, 6 Sun’s Dawn 2e578 a big piece of Aetherius fell to Nirn. It was the first major piece of Aetherius to fall on Nirn in more than five hundred years. It scattered around the world as millions of shards. It was rapidly documented by Lady Cinnabar of Taneth in her pamphlet Aetherial Fragments that "... when three shards meet, they re-form into a silvery prism by unknown process and confer the power unlocked by the merger to a nearby being." The Order of the Black Worm, commonly known as the Worm Cult, reappeared in Tamriel shortly thereafter and some of its members are avidly searching said shards.
In the last week of First Seed 2e579, an arcane explosion occurred in the Imperial City — a night of storms, and trembling terrain. They named it the "Soulburst". That day Emperor Varen Aquilarios disappeared without a trace. His wife, Clivia Tharn, ascended to the Ruby Throne as Empress Regent under the guidance of the Necromancer Mannimarco. Ushering a time of increased instability within the Empire of Cyrodiil which finally grew into “The Three Banners War”.

✭This probably belongs in the Lore section, but here’s a partial answer.
Ayrenn’s father lost most of the Altmer fleet to an ambush at Pyandonea, so Summerset was a bit cut off from the historians writing it all down. The fact that he wasn’t deposed immediately after that defeat implies his rule was stable enough to weather that setback, which in turn means not much to report. It is never stated why she disappeared, but perhaps boredom?1
