@YinyangElementofduality - You are just assuming the Dragonborn comes, assume control of all guilds ans fight against the Thalmor. Heroes depart after their prophecies are fulfilled: thus was the case of the Vestige, thus was the case of the Eternal Champion, thus was the case of the Hero of Daggerfall, thus was the case of the Nerevarine, thus was the case with the Champion of Cyrodiil, thus will be the case of the Dragonborn, so remove the Dragonborn from your equations. By the time a Second Great War can rear its head, the Dragonborn will be long gone. This has been the case with every Hero, and for good out-of-setting reasons:  Writers cannot account for every player's characterisation of a particular Hero. Some players' Dragonborn may be Thalmor sympathisers or Altmeri Supremacists.
