They care nothing for the war. The war's only goal was the White-Gold Concordat. They succeeded in this. Let's analyze what they want.

 To kill Man is to reach Heaven, 

All Ways to Heaven are through Violence.

''' from where we came before the  Doom Drum's  iniquity. '''

They came from the pre-Convention Dawn. They wish to return to Ehlnofeyic being. Without form and gone from time's cruel touch.

''' When we accomplish this, we can escape the mockery and long shame of the Material Prison. '''

i.e. Mundus. The Prison. The bars that hold Aka within his chest.

 To achieve this goal, we must:   

'Erase the Upstart Talos from the mythic. His presence fortifies the Wheel of the Convention, and binds our souls to this plane.'

Talos is often referred to as Convention 2.0. TALOS AE LRKHAN and his being holds Convention. He also is a sort of Tower himself. He holds Mundus together.

Remove Man not just from the world, but from the Pattern of Possibility, so that the very idea of them can be forgotten and thereby never again repeated.

The idea here is that Man keep Talos great through mythopoeic forces. When they remove Man they will in turn remove Talos as their belief holds him to Mundus. In all honestly, we're pretty sure this isn't true. We see him in c0da perfectly fine, even after the destruction of Nirn.

'With Talos and the Sons of Talos removed, the Dragon will become ours to unbind. The world of mortals will be over. The Dragon will uncoil his hold on the stagnancy of linear time and move as Free Serpent again, moving through the Aether without measure or burden, spilling time along the innumerable roads we once traveled. And with that we will regain the mantle of the imperishable spirit.'

Again, the describe the Dawn. Lorkhan binds the Dragon (Akatosh) to the mortal linear time line. By removing the Doom Drum and his followers they will release Akatosh to be as his was.
