User blog:JoshofBlades/Give the Empire a Chance.

Well JoshofBlades is back again! I can hear the applause so calm dowm my little readers I'll get right to the point.

Look I've stated in many blog posts that I wish the Empire to win in the Civil War, now that doesn't mean I hate the Stormcloaks not by any means I have great respect for Ulfric and his followers. But this open warfare is not the answer. So below like always I'll spit my argument and you'll all do the sam below. LET'S BEGIN!!! >insert epic music here<

We all know of the infamous "White Gold Concordat" that damn paper that banned the Worship of my most favorite Tamriellic Hero: Tiber Septim, but to the Nords he is the mighty Talos. Now I am for all intents and purposes aginst the Concordat, as a devout follower of the Talos Cult in RP. But all those who hate need to be secret about it. When I was in battle for the Legion to re-unify Skyrim, it did pain me to kill people who were fighting for something I so strongly belive in, but it had to be done. But you all speak as if the Emporer really had a choice, him not signing the Concordat would have ended his life and thus continued the Dominion's campaign aginst the Empire and would have eventually destroyed it. Seeing as Skyrim is an Imperial Province Skyrim would have come under a Thalmor boot.

So those of you who call Titus Mede II a coward, or fool, or whatever you wish to call him think of it this way. If you were head of an Empire that was on the side of a losing war and you saw a way to save yourself and your people from Aldmeri Slavery or "Justice" as they call it. Would you not do it? Some say "I'd rather die than submit!!!!" Well wait until your in that position, then we'll see how far you would go to secure your home, or at very least your own life.

It is a WELL KNOWN fact that people like General Tullis the head of the Legion in Skyrim is aginst the Concordat and even hints to the fact that he expects another war with the Thalmor. So you gotta know he's training and pushing his men overtime just in case. Also just cause the Thalmor sign a peice of paper doesn't mean a damn thing! I'm an Imperial, I'm in the Legion and Skyrim is once again under our control, but I do worship Talos (not as open as I'd like but my devotion is there). I always have my Amulet of Talos on and I bought a house in Whiterun so I could pray to the Shrine. I even leave offerings at the Shrine I encounter when exploring. Now if the Thalmor find out and wish to attack me, I say "Bring it on"!

Now we know the peace won't last forever neither will the Concordat. So why support Ulfric's army when the Legion is much more trained, outfitted, and generally better equipped to deal with a situation like this? There aren't many clear reasons. People have said many things in the comments that have made me think BUT I won't turn my back on a Empire that tamed the mighty Tamriel, nor will I turn my back to Talos. A CONCORDAT DOES NOT CEMENT DIVINTY! But a Stormcloak victory would, meaning if they win, the Thalmor will march on Skyrim in force, a force large enough to defeat a Rebel Army and strong to defeat a Country in it's rebuilding phase.

I've stated many times I respect Ulfric greatly and his movement and his devotion to the true God-King of Tamriel. But if I must worship Talos silently for now I will, cause I know the second the Thalmor decide it's war-time, if I'm still alive I'm putting on my Talos Amulet, getting me Legion Armor on and severing some Dominion heads. Cause there's alot of built up rage and anger in the Legion all the Thalmor need to do is twist off the cap. So please on your character if you haven't already. Enlist in the Legion fight for the Empire and fight for your freedom as any race! Fight to defeat a Dominion that would gladly put you to the sword for your belifes!
