Hehehe Ivory
Ok. I keep trying to leave but the further you guys sink into Oblivion, the more I find myself coming back. XD
So if something like the Thalmor refuse to respect Imperial law, what makes you so confident they'll respect the Nords? Will Elenwen jump in bed with Ulfric's administration, absolutely. She seems ready to sign a deal with Ulfric at Season Unending.
But can you trust her...
Hellllllll no. And that's another thing that drove me away from the Stormcloaks because like... the Empire is one thing but what if Ulric did make a deal with her? To me that would be significantly more frightening than maybe running into the Thalmor every once in a while on the street out in the open.
I mean, I guess the Imperials made a deal with the Dominion too, but the Thalmor weren't always able to do the things they do now. And judging by that Dossier I don't think Ulfric has to do anything, the Thalmor will always be one step ahead of him. At least an Imperial victory will derail the Thalmor's long term goals for Skyrim. Which really, is important because Elves think in long terms.
