Seeing as how only ONE elven empire worthy of note ever existed, and what they did to make it fall was downright stupid. When you decide to summon up Daedra and undead to subjugate another race and THEN worship those Daedra, you're just begging for it. I really don't need to say more about that. Besides the Ayleids, all of them have been justified. Frankly, when it comes to Elves being better, the Dwemer WERE better. When your race created a device without divine assistance that is able to read an Elder Scroll and gain knowledge from it with no ill effects, that says a lot considering the nature of those scrolls. As for the Dunmer, they were justified too - the Tribunal was easily the best thing that happened to Morrowind, so much so they remained in power and made the province strong for 3,000 years. That is a LOT of time. Sotha Sil was completely right - what right does a pile of demonic garbage like Azura have to rule over a race? She subjugated them to unquestioned worship, caused the province to be destroyed, indirectly caused the Argonian invasion because of that eruption, and her being worshipped ultimately caused a religious war with the Dwemer. She can rot for all I care, the Tribunal did a good thing dumping her. And the Altmer...no, they're right too. The Sload tried for hundreds if not a thousand years contiuously harassing the Isles and they never succeeded. Not even the Thrassian Plague took them down. Ever since the All-Banners Navy traveled to Thras and slaughtered the Sload, they've been broken and they won't be coming back. Considering the genocide Talos/Tiber Septim committed against the Altmer with the Brass God, it's fitting revenge to remove his influence. Performing an act like that and not expecting the Elves to retaliate was downright stupid on Tiber's part. Not to sound like a jackass, but elven empires not lasting long is...flat out wrong. They've lasted just as long, if not longer.

Thought I'd mention that it's a breath to fresh air to talk to someone's who so well spoken (you don't know how much I respect and envy that), but there's really nothing you or anyone else could say that would convince me otherwise concerning this topic. Oh, and by the way, I don't know what the Tower of Babel is so I don't understand the argument there.
