"...But that Skyrim had offered Solstheim as a haven for my people, after ages of enmity between our races... for that, I was unprepared."

" 'Untithed to any Thane of Hold,' " Attrebus quoted, " 'and self-governed, with free worship, with no compensation to Skyrim or the Empire except as writ in the armistice of old wheresoever those might apply, and henceforth let no Man or Mer say that the Sons and Daughters of Kyne are without mercy or honor.' "

Sul raised an eyebrow.

"I learned it from my tutors," Attrebus explained."

Nowhere in the Decree does it state that it applies to all of Skyrim. Only Solstheim is mentioned.

Even if you're right, it's been 200 years. All the refugees who would have fallen under that are now dead, and it certainly never says that it applies to all Dunmer who will ever move to Skyrim.
