Is that so. Well... wrote: Zippertrain85 wrote: Coppermantis wrote: Just going to say that your Hitler analogy is way off. If we're going to make a WWII comparison, it's closer to occupied france. The Empire does not want to ban Talos worship. Talos CREATED the Empire, for God's sake. The Thalmor are the ones who want to eliminate Talos (step 1 of their plan to eliminate all Mankind), and when they conquered and occupied the Imperial provinces they forced the Empire to follow their beliefs. The Empire as a whole just wants to enforce peace and stability before they are strong enough to fight back against the Elves, who are the real Nazis in our scenario. According to the Great War, the Empire destroyed the largest army in elven history. Speaking from a numbers stand point, that would've likely taken a toll. Also thinking about Elven reproduction rates, they've most likely hardly recovered. That's why the Stormcloaks are so disappointed with the Empire. When you say "according to the Great War" are you referring to the book titled "The Great War" because if so can you tell me where exactly it says "the Empire destroyed the largest army in elven history"? I'm not sure it said that in those exact words, but it did say this

"The Emperor's decision to withdraw from the Imperial City in 4E 174 was bloodily vindicated. Lord Naarifin was kept alive for thirty-three days, hanging from the White-Gold tower. It is not recorded where his body was buried, if it was buried at all."
