My opinion, If you were intent on bringing down a very powerful rival whose philosophy was strong, independent and entirely opposite from your own, a kingdom that you would not want to confront militarily; the only to destroy the Aldmeri Dominion; orchestrate their destruction from within.

Although possibly taking longer than a military victory and requiring great patience, the damage would be just as effective if not more so. When you destroy them from within, you do it by using their own people, no blood will be spilled in combat.
