That's the fun of it. The Interregnum was pretty much te Dark Ages of Tamriel, chaos was let loose due to the lack of an organized Empire. The faction with the Emperor player must hold their territory, as if another alliance takes the most strongholds, their top player will become Emperor, leaving the previous alliance in second place.

Gain and maintain are the basics of it.
