User blog comment:JoshofBlades/Why the Empire Should Prevail Over the Stormcloaks! (part 2)/@comment-527531-20111123184729

The Redguards of Hammerfell are fighting the Aldmeri Dominion as the dragons invade Skyrim and imperial forts are put to the torch. The Aldmeri Dominion has withdrawn, following an extended stalemate forced into place by courageous men; men abandoned by a fallen empire with a false half-man of an emperor, ruled by corrupt politicians and controlled by proxy of the Dominion. The blades are defunct. The line of dragonborns broken. The man-god of the Nine Divines banned throughout the Empire by the White-Gold Concordat; as if a concordat cements divinity, not hearts and deeds of men or mer! And yet, Hammerfell has not fallen! The Covenant of St. Alessia broken. And yet, the so-called Empire, reduced to a puppet state far removed from the provinces it once called it's own, crawls and begs at the feet of oppressors! So no. I say no! We will not crawl. Nor beg. Nor bend knee to some elfborn on a far-away isle. If we die, we die! If we live; all the better! But if we kneel now, we will never rise again. We will break a line of glory and honor going back thousands of years! No, I say! We will drive the Empire out! We will drive the Thalmor out. Out from Skyrim! We will join with our brothers and sister in arms of Hammerfell! Together, we will secure High Rock, retake the Obsidian Tower, and reforge an Empire in of blood and steel; Rock, Desert and Snow! We will go to the Imperial City, and we will say NO! ''We refuse! We will not yield!'' And our voices shall echo in eternity, for we are free men of Tamriel! We are of the trials of Alessia, the blood of Talos, and the sacrifice of Martin! We are not the death of the Empire! We are it's children! We are it's birth! We will oust the traitors of the Empire, hunt them through the forests of Valenwood, and drive them into the sea. A sea that will run red with blood, shore to shore, from Tamriel to the Summerset Isles! All hail High King Ulfric! All hail the true sons and daughters of Skyrim! All hail Talos! For freedom! For a new order! For Tamriel and Man! Hail!
