And seeing how the dominion are high elves they most likely have a lot of mages. Dragons in-game are very underpowered, but in lore no mortal races are match for them.

I see people in this thread too biased to the Imperial side. The Stormcloaks' goal is to free Skyrim from the influence of the Dominion, including the White-Gold Concordat. The Empire refused to revoke the concordat and so the Civil War began. Obviously the Dominion Army would be no match for the Dragonborn and it's dragons, however, as said, heroes disappear. The coming of the Dragonborn was to fullfill the prophecy of an Elder Scroll, which said that Alduin would return and must be defeated. After that, the dragonborn has no more special purpose and its influence. The future of Skyrim without the dragonborn is uncertain. A Thalmor invasion would be a very serious threat.

If the Stormcloaks won the war, they would eventually take on an assault on the Aldmeri Dominion, as said by Ulfric Stormcloak. I consider Ulfric to be very intelligent and strategist. He wouldn't say such a thing if he couldn't do it. It's still hard to believe, though.

If the Legion won the war, they would probably continue their peace treaty with the Dominion, until the Thalmor regains it's strenght and attacks the Empire.

Anyway, I think we all agree that the elven supremacists are the real bad guys here. I wouldn't be surprised if the next TES would feature they as main antagonists, rather than a non-mortal being, like previous games.
