What's wrong with the Empire? Yes they submitted to racist elves, but what other choice did they have? Going down in a hail of glory? Scratch that...Burning fire? The elves would most definitly march on Skyrim to do the same to the Nords. (And before you say the Nords would whoop their #$$3$, they just took over the capital of a continent...Including all of its remaining resources and likely, troops. Hadvar said it best, the Empire is the only thing keeping the elven army out of Skyrim.

Before anyone calls the Empire milk-drinkers, remember that you are fighting your own brothers (and likely sisters, Beth just forgot to add them), and to be grateful for delaying or stopping an inevitable invasion from the recouping massive army of fire and conjured minions. It is called the Stormcloak Rebellion after all....
