User blog comment:Zippertrain85/"Why the Empire Should Prevail Over the Stormcloaks" refuted (part 1)/@comment-4225295-20131206210942/@comment-12599067-20131207213228

1) Agh. I always called the Summerset Isles Alinor, although I don't really know why.

2) Actually, Elsewyr split in half when the Dominion 'brought back' the moons, half of them blindly following the elves and the other half knowing better. What I meant regarding the Legion was that the Empire would send more legions to Skyrim, and the Dominion would most likely stay out of the way until the time was right. Ulfric is having problems defeating one legion, what would he do against two? Three? Four?

3) You're forgetting the Dominion navy and ground forces from the Isles, who were able to drive back the Daedra from their homeland. They now have High Rock, Cyrodiil, and that one half of Elsewyr nobody remembers the name of on their side, as well as bits and pieces of Valenwood.

4) a. It's a fort. You need a lot of people to maintain a fort.

b. Who says they're all from the Embassies? They could be from Cyrodiil or High Rock for all we know.
