A question for you, Mage: What could be the reason behind the Thalmor expanding their shipping? Yes they have lots of funds, but why invest them in shipping, especially now that they're about to enter the next war?
Probably to try and be able to expand the amount of resources they can get their hands on, keeping within only Valenwood, Elsweyr & Summerset might not be enough to fully recover the expenses of preparing for war/recovering from the heavy investment in the Great War. Always could use another industry providing them with the means to field more in battle or keep the economy flowing.
