Well so far as I know, in accordance to Nord traditions Ulfric winning the challenge all but makes him High King, Torygg was after all challenged for the right/capability to rule.

But, yes there is to Moot to formalize it, even as Galmar says Ulfric certainly could just go ahead with making himself High King.

See that is part of what I am talking about, yes since the mede empire serves the Dominion of course they would allow the Dominion passege and probably aid.

If they didn't cede to the AD at every conceivable venture there wouldn't have been a civil war.

And yes the Imperials most likely would be shortsighted and egotistic, petty/and or Altmer-loving enough to refuse entry to Nord forces trying to get to Summerset Isles but I am sure a combined effort from Skyrim and Hammerfell could make Cyrodiil see the error of their appeasing way (like performing a concerted punitive action in the Imperial heartlands for instance.)

Well, the entire Snow Elf civilization was forced underground by a most likely substantially smaller Nord force, so I'll still view it as a example of Nordic capabilities visavi Mer. All legend is rooted in history, it all has to come from somewhere and Dragon and other legendary creatures are real in Tamriel/Nirn/Mundus so I see no reason why 500 or so determined warriors wouldn't be able to topple an Empire.

Stranger things have happened.
