1) The Empire has a pretty long track record of unity, several hundred years of it. It's Titus Mede who can't unite anything, and he's blessedly dead.

2) How do I know they're on good termswith the Empire? Because they've been part of it for centuries without complaint. And yes, they are fighting Ulfric: High Rock is part of the Empire. High Rock isn't some ally/partner of the Empire like what Morrowind and Black Marsh were, they were conquered by Tiber Septim. And even iof they weren't, they didn't just sit out of the fight when the Thamor invaded Cyrodiil and Hammerfell, they weren't threatened and yet they still joined the fight on the Empire's side.

"kind of interesting you conveniently ignored that part"

Kind of interesting how you conveniently ignored my DIRECT RESPONSE to that part.

Now I know what you're going to say: "I already refuted that". I'll head you off at the pass: No, you presented your view as to why it might not work. Hammerfell COULD, it's not a guarantee. I'm sure they'll try it first and go from there.
