It's debatable whether or not there are humans in Akavir, Mysterious Akavir says the Tsaesci consumed them but humans are present on Alduin's wall and in an excerpt from a journal written during the Akaviri invasion of Tamriel. Both of which are supposed to have been created after the alleged consuming.

Mysterious Akavir

I always thought that was an ingame satire of orientalism tbh

That makes sense.

It's the only source of any info about the Tsaesci that's not just, like: they look like snakes and invaded Tamriel a couple of times.

So ironically, it does the same thing IRL orientalist art did to misinform westerner scholars about the "East".
