2) The only fanon here is what your saying. The Thalmor did those acts. You don't see Imperial Soldiers running into homes and dragging supporters into the noose. No, that's the Thalmor. The liaison published that book because the Dominion were breathing down her neck. Anyone in that position would have to, unless they wanted to cause a premature war or be executed. Anyone who read the book, if they were nearsighted, would take it like a political commercial here in the US: not true or false, just existing, and that it shouldn't really affect anyone, just being said because "it needs to."

As for Shoddy Cast, don't use him or really any YouTuber as a good source of information because they're not. I've never heard of such a war. If you want nordic beliefs, look at Nordic Pantheon for the past and The Divines for the present.

3) Yes and no. It wasn't the Redguards alone. There were a number of elite Empirical troops still in Hammerfell at the time, and with their help, they temporarily defeated a degraded Thalmor detachment. At the end, though, there was a separate treaty signed to prevent further conflict at the time. "You don't see Imperial Soldiers running into homes and dragging supporters into the noose." 2. Pretty sure you see Imperial supporters doing just that when they tried to execute the Dragonborn. Even people who weren't actually Stormcloak supporters were executed by the Imps. You know how I know that. Because it happens right in the beginning of the game. Right, well the book is a public declaration. If the Thalmor control the publications and media of the Emperor and the Emperor doesn't deny it, then by all rights, it's a credible source. More credible than your narratives of it being a ruse, sourced by disgruntled Imperial soldiers trying to rationalize why everytime the Dominion asks the Emperor to jump, he says "How High?"

Furthermore, the Empire has blasphemed Talos. That demands retribution, no matter what.

3.Those troops were disavowed by the Empire remember. They are no longer Imperial citizens. Technically, my claim about the Redguards retaking Hammerfall without the Empire still rings true.
