Well wouldn't be the first time that Thalmor lied about something. Like when they said they ended Oblivion Crysis single handidly. Or when they lied to enprisoned Ulfric, saying that Imperial City had fallen, whereas it did not just yet fallen to them. I wouldn't be surprise if they actually lied to Khajit that they brough back the moons and restored Khajit birth cycle. That ore they were the one who made the moons dissapear in the first place, just so that they could bring them back and get Khajit to enter Aldmeri Dominion willingly. They are big liars who would stop at nothing to get to their goal. Surely they lied to the Empire that they have enough reinforcements to level Imperial City to the ground, after Titus Mede II took it back from them. But in fact, their troops probably were demoralized, hungry and just short of mutiny. They had to come up with some lie to end war quickly, but still to impose the terms that they presented before it started. Come to think of it, Illusion is a naturaly storng point of Altmer, they obviously good at making you believe what they want you to believe.

I believe people usually being too hard on Titus Mede II, thinking that he's a weak ruler, when forgeting the fact that he's responsible for retaking Imperial City after it was saked by the Dominion.
