Oh please, *Nord aren't good at warfare, they're weak.* Skyrim even had to be conqeured by Tiber Septim's armies, it didn't join the Empire willingly. The Dunmer did fight for the Empire, there were countless Dunmer Imperial Legion Members in TES III, not to forget that since the Empire is one nation there is no such thing as "Dunmer colonisation", just immigration. The Nords are the children of the sky, a race of tall and fair-haired humans from Skyrim who are known for their incredible resistance to cold and magical frost. They are fierce, strong and enthusiastic warriors, and many become renowned warriors, soldiers and mercenaries all over Tamriel. Eager to augment their martial skills beyond the traditional methods of Skyrim, they EXCEL IN ALL MANNERS OF WARFARE, and are known as a militant people by their neighbors. Nords are also natural seamen, and have benefited from nautical trade since their first migrations from Atmora. They captain and crew many merchant fleets, and may be found all along the coasts of Tamriel.

Somehow the Canon lore says otherwise...

Then again, you might be trying to go a big circle around to imply that the Imperials are useless weaklings who can only bully the weak and immediately become someone's b*tch the moment a stronger foe appears! Who knows what sarcasm people on the internet has these days... No, not the canon lore, the ingame description.

The lore shows us that Skyrim has been unsuccesful in fighting off any invaders, the only times when they were succesful is when they were invaders themselves.

So yes, invading warfare, they're decent at that, but even that is limited to certain periods of time. The Nords of the Fourth Era are a joke, especially the Stormcloaks.
