User blog comment:Tholanar/What would you do if you were the Emperor of Tamriel?/@comment-5709731-20130105121018

I decided I may as well post my own answer to the question. This will be based on my first post on the original High King blog, about my Argonian Bard-Warlord: Tal-Jin Dragonscale. If you want to know the background, do check out that thread.

After becoming the High King of Skyrim, reuniting it with the Empire and defeating the Aldmeri Dominion for good, the Bard-Warlord of Skyrim would return to Cyrodiil in glory. As I find out that the Dark Brotherhood, despite my efforts to root them out for good, has assassinated Titus Mede the Second while I was out shouting elves to bits, I also find out he has no heirs. The Elder Council points at me, being Dragonborn and the mastermind behind the destruction of the Thalmor and the reconquering of the Aldmeri provinces. ((Read about that in the first post on the High King blog)) I become crowned as Emperor by kneeling before the Dragon Statue in the Temple of the One, and the Red Dragon Crown is set upon my head. Now, to all the duties an Emperor has...

1. Send the Imperial Legion and the Dragonguard (Consisting of the Blades and Dragons I have taken into my service in exchange for not killing them) to the Aldmeri Provinces, to ensure that the ravaged lands are built up again, and that all thoughts of rebellion are quelled. I'll give my lieutenants strict orders to not treat the populace unfairly, just because they are elves. Even if they openly despise the Imperial rule, they are not to be treated unfairly, only if they try to attack the guards. I will ensure an elf rises to the thrones of Alinor and Valenwood, and that whatever government the Khajiit had before will continue to remain as it is. I will help those who lost their lands or their gold in the war, and offer veterans of the war a place in the Imperial Legion. Even if they refuse, I'll establish/rebuild a fighters and mages guild in the conquered territories, to make jobs and such for the mercenaries and mages of the Aldmeri Dominions now ravaged army. I'll ensure all the Aldmeri races a representant in the Elder Council, and as long as they follow Imperial Law, they are free to govern their country basically as they wish.

2. Make sure religious freedom is present in all the continents, allowing everyone to worship anyone, as long as Imperial Law is taken into consideration (Murdering someone in the nme of Molag Bal is, forr example, not allowed. In doing so, I'll ban the vigil of Stendarr, making Daedra Worship fully legal. As for vampires, their very exsistence drives them to feed and murder others. Thus, I'll merge the Vigil and the Dawnguard together, fighting vampires. Of course, vampires are only to be killed if they are hurting anyone. Of course, that is almost always the case.

3. Start trading with the rest of the world, offering High Rock and Hammerfell a place in the Empire as well, which they'll likely accept. I'll make Orsinium a province of it's own, and ensure their loyalty to the Empire, as orcish soldiers are the finest in Heavy Armour, and their crafting is legendary. All of the beforementioned Provinces will have a representant in the Elder Council. Trade with the Argonian State (Morrowind and Argonia/Black Marsh) and offer them an alliance, if not a place in the Empire. Whether or not they become a part of the Empire, I hope to forge a close alliance between our two nations. I'd encourage the Argonians to treat the Dark Elves of Morrowind fairly and give them religious freedom, if they do not have that yet.

More will come later!
