 * -) WM as volatile as ever.

I am still in favor of an implosion type ending, which would not be just Jyggalag doublecrossing his champion, but ALL DPs going for the power vacuum the defeat of the Thalmor left behind.

Consider this: You went around Aedra and Daedra, crafting an alliance on a scale Nirn has not seen since the dragon-wars (if then). And that was to gain a fighting chance against the power of the Thalmor. So after their defeat a shitload of power is just up for grabs (surrendering Thalmor units, leaderless Dremora, revenue from cities, magick resourceswhat have you). Now look at the situation from the perspective of somebody who already is very powerful and just has been shown first-hand how much more power could possibly be his, or hers.

I would be extremely surprised if the erstwhile allies would stay allied for two seconds after their victory - if only to preempt a powergrab by somebody else. These are the Daedric Princes - Boethia, Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon and so on. I totally would expect a split, I would just wonder down which lines.

I overdid my first proposal, Jyggalag being of Order probably would back his Blessed in the aftermath - but not in every case (becoming a vampire or were comes to mind).
