User blog comment:Zippertrain85/"Why the Empire Should Prevail Over the Stormcloaks" refuted (part 1)/@comment-11532953-20131210060926/@comment-9062114-20131210062510

The Empire had abolished the largest army in Elven history! That had to have taken a toll on the Dominion, plus the fact that Elves reproduce slower means they're probably barely recovered. Read the book called "The Great War".

Galmar Stone-Fist specifically says that the Stormcloaks don't want just mercenaries and average joes as soldiers. I agree that I should've said "abundant research", but that doesn't change the fact.
