The Council information was from before Obivion Crisis. Their power would grow exponentially in running of the Empire between the end of the Septim Dynasty and Titus Mede I capturing Imperial city.

Most of the credit goes to Titus Mede I and not his son  Attrebus Mede who was just made more heroic in reputation by his father Titus Mede I.

Even if the Mede Dynasty led by Titus Mede I captured most of Cyrodiil and united the Empire temporarily, the foundation was shakened again by the Great War.

You just hate your own character do you? Wishing evil things to befell on your character. The statement LDB is technically a living God and likely a shezzarine who is in possession of forbidden knowledge of Black books. You don't see how the LDB have options to resist Hermaeus Mora even more than Miraak who specifically stated that he will be able to escape Mora's prison by absorbing the LDB's soul.

Meaning LDB full strength at the end of Dragonborn DLC + Miraak full strength is capable of escaping Apocrypha or at least what Miraak thought.

The LDB being able to escape Apocrypha literately guarantees they have something comparable to Elder Magic that the Thalmor may have gotten. So losing the LDB is a good way to add drama.

Watching the Imperial Legion in full might charging at the outnumbered AD army only to be slaughtered like nothing by the surprise appearance of Elder Magic and butchering the Imperial Legions like pigs to slaughter will make good drama as Thalmor step on the faces of the Imperial Legion like the nothing they are compared to Elder Magic.

Perhaps adding Desperation is Thalmor found the Totem of Tiber Septim and rebuilt Numidium. So a Legion (5000 OP Elder magic wielding) behind Numidium destroying every single Imperial Legion like the nothing they are and people screaming desperately for the Dragonborn who will not come and help them as you wish.

I admit it makes a good drama. Maybe at the end, the Elder Magic Battlemages and Numidium reached the Imperial City and capture the Emperor, hang him on the Gates for the pathetic surviving members of the Empire who can do nothing but see the Thalmor do whatever they want, including turning the Elder Council into the biggest Thalmor dickriders in History of Tamriel.

Time for a Change, a hero who can finally do something completely different from before. Right -- that's what made him Emperor. As Emperor he continued to rebuild the Empire.

Prove it. If what you say is true -- why didn't that same power grow during the Planemeld?

Can't say that for a fact, since under Titus Mede's reign only the rebel states in Cyrodiil and all of Hammerfell had been recorded to have been reclaimed. Attrebus also stopped Umbriel from destroying Tamriel, and, since he was heir to the throne, it isn't far fetched to say it was him who would reclaim Elsweyr.

1. He isn't a living god, let alone the Shezzarine. 2. Miraak has been planning for centuries and is way stronger in terms of knowledge than the LDB, hell, he's stronger in general, seeing as he's able to A) not only steal souls from the dragons the LDB stole but B) able to do so in a spiritual form. 3. Of course we don't have that option, Bethesda didn't go through all that nonsense in the DB dlc to make it uncanon, unless if they suddenly came up with another idea. All the evidence points that the LDB is stuck in Apocrypha, writing his story down, just like what happened with the CoC.

Miraak had knowledge, he had 2 full eras to study in the libraries of Apocrypha, the forbidden knowledge of Hermaues Mora at his disposal, things that the LDB does not have, not even when defeating Miraak.

"Elder Magic", a term never before heard of in TES suddenly makes an appearance in your fiction. Almost goes as far as KB with his Numidium 2.0 nonsense. Oh wait, it seems that you also included Numidium 2.0 nonsense.
