Rise in the East
Once outside, you will find yourself in the middle of a regular battlefield as Haldyn’s death obviously removed the bad weather surrounding the island and, as a result, the East Company mercenaries will tear the area to pieces using bombs. The many explosions will not hurt you, but you will have to dispose of all the Blood Horkers that attack you as you make your way towards Adaleisa who will be waiting on the docks at the bottom of the mountain.

http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1446034-black-books/page__st__60 (Just look through that thread page; I don't want to retype all of my rants [again]).
There is an obscure reference to cannons in a http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Jokes, and there are vague, unsupported, maybe-memories of cannons in Redguard (in other words, there probably aren't any cannons at all in Redguard).
And, as I and a few others discuss in the linked thread, I really don't like the idea that the Japhet's Folly fireballs are fired by cannons. I think that there was another thread in which I conceded that I would be fine with the fireballs being catapults, because that has more precedent and I personally think that it is more interesting, but I can't find the thread.
Burdened Fireballs and/or spell-scrolls-as-cannon-ammunition really seems more interesting to me...
In short, there is nothing conclusive about cannons in TES, other than one direct reference and one event that had a slim chance of involving cannons.
But it's RP, so none of that really matters all that much.
