Take the Psijic Order for example, its just doing its own thing.

The Mages Guild got destroyed.

Hence why we now have the Synod and the College of Whispers. I am not talking about Empire's mage guilds. I am talking about the different parties that may have been wielding political power in Summerset Isles that was pretty much equivalent or better in magic than the Mages Guilds than the ones in Empire.

Plus, they don't necessarily support the Thalmor too. My whole point was the Empire are likely not the only ones who are facing problems, the Thalmor are probably facing problems on their own and it's these problems that might end up saving Tamriel from the Thalmor.
