User blog comment:JoshofBlades/Why the Empire Should Prevail Over the Stormcloaks! (part 2)/@comment-98.251.26.70-20131019204747

This blog confirms the whole reason for the storm cloak rebellion in the first place: no matter how you rationalize it, you've just addmitted to selling out Skyrim. That's the bottom line, and that's why the Empire is useless to the home of the throat of the world. If it wasn't for the empire's white gold concordant the Thalamor wouldn't be in Skyrim to begin with. There is no empire without Talos. The empire is already dead.
