@Thedoucheinthenorth You're completely missing my point, the Empire does not think that bowing to the Thalmor will make them stronger, they do so because if they didn't they'd be forced into yet another Great War which as I said before would either in destruction of both the Empire and the Dominion or one side in a Pyrrhic Victory. There is a reason that the Empire's truce with the Thalmor is refered to as "Uneasy" and it's certainly not because both sides like each other, as I said before which by the way you're speaking you failed to realize, I'm all for Skyrim declaring its independance after the Dominion is out of the picture. Also as I previously stated, the Dunmer don't fix their situation in Windhelm because nobody will let them.
