Implying that the empire that has done everything the minimize the elven presence, has been planning to attack the Elves in revenge since the WGC was signed, and has allowed the various rulers under its system to ignore the Talos ban, and telling the thalmor agents to go fuck off, has a pathological need to appease Elves. Can you show me where you got this? Because I definitely didn't remember reading about anything you just said.

And to this 80.216 guy, I would say it is quite likely that Tullius was telling the truth, because that's the best move the imperials can make. Think about it: to one side of Cyrodiil is hammerfell, another is Skyrim, another is Morrowind/Blackmarsh and the other is Elsweyr. I don't even need to explain why the elves can't get through Hammerfell. Skyrim has a small chance of being invaded, but it's pretty remote and the elves will be at a disadvantage, because they will be fighting in unfamilliar terrain against opponents just as fierce as the redguards. Blackmarsh... I'm not entirely certain. However, given the Argonians can conquer the South of Morrowind, I assume they will make a good barrier as well. The only unsafe side is the South, to Elsweyr. So why not send most of the legion there? It defies logic not to do so anyways.
