If what you tell is true, signing WGC was signed for nothing. Now it's probably to late for the empire to fight back, a crippled army and no leader. The empire's days are numbered. But then who will be left to fight the dominion? I highly doubt the stormcloaks would be able to fight the dominion in any other province but skyrim and they lack the numbers. Hammerfell might have resisted up until this point but for how long? They can't keep fighting forever and sooner or later they will fall beneth the boot of the elves. Then the era of men comes to a close, the dawning of a new era comes upon the land. The era of mer. Unless there's someway to defeat them? well now that Titus Mede is dead the empire has the potential to have a compitent emperor, my vote would be for Balgruuf, no matter what side you choose he will always join with the empire, and if they go with the Season Unending finish to the civil war he could be held in high esteem for having ended the civil war, and he is willing to risk his life for his people. he would make a great leader one who the stormcloaks would respect. I doubt Balgruuf would be interested in that position. I would not be surprised if the Aldmeri dominion were the ones to choose a new emperor, one that supports them. They would not let the empire choose an emperor that hates the AD.

Besides, Balgruuf be ballin' too much for the AD :)
