User blog comment:Draevan13/Ulfric's suspicious Thalmor Dossier/@comment-69.132.65.198-20140603003335

I don't think Ulfric works for the Thalmor. I read the dossier and I believe that the Thalmor ENGINEERED the Skyrim civil war to weaken the Empire. They knew outlawing Talos worship would anger someone. They likely released him because they thought he could have been that person. The Dominion was afraid to go to war with the Empire again because they might lose this time. I think that the Markarth incident had very little to do with this, and that Ulfric never would have worked with them after what they had done. Our shadowy contact could have been anyone, an agent in the Imperials or Stormcloaks. If this is true, then, ironically, siding with the Imperials wouldnhave weakened the Dominion, while siding with the Stormcloaks would have strengthened them.
