And the orc strongholds! Of course! I would begin trading with them, to get weapons, Orichalcum, Ebony from their mine, trinkets, whatever they make and then provide them with things like coin, useful supplies... I don't know! What does orcs want which they can't make themselves? I am sure I'd figure something out. I would let the orcs live as they wanted. I am their Blood-kin and they don't harm anyone. As for soul trapping, having seen the horrors of the soul cairn, I would make being soul trapped and executed the worst possible punishment available. Would probably do that to every DB agent I could find. My character defies Sithis, the grandfather of the argonians, but he would not totally outlaw his worship, to retain peaceful relations with his kinsmen in Morrowind and Argonia.

As for giants, I would travel to their camps myself and negotiate with them, offering them peace, recruiting them for skyrims army ((Dragons AND Giants in the same army? That sounds a little overkill, but I need overkill to destroy that blasted dominion)) in exchange for.... Whatever giants want. Maybe I could even make Giants a civilized race as well, but I'll save that for later. As for the dawnguard, I'd copy their troll-taming tecnique and use it in the battle against the dominion. So... The current state of the war is: Alinor, Valenwood and Elsweyr VS Cyrodiil, hopefully Hammerfell, High Rock, Argonia and Morrowind ((Again, hopefully)), Skyrim, the Dov and the Blades, a bunch of gaints and trolls and the Companions. Flee while you can, Thalmor! I am myself not good at military strategy and I know very little about construction of armies, but I am sure my character, being a legate, knows a lot about it, so I'll leave the rank system of the armies to him. XD

I would participate in the battles myself, but more as a commander than an actual warrior. Of course, I may get into battles myself, in which I would use voice, crossbow and axe to repel them quickly. Again, I have dragonbone armor, which is ((Depending on what mods you use)) either the best or the second best armor in the game. Plus, it's lighter than deadric, so thumbs up for that. We all know that dragonbone weapons are the best, and I would surely have a few of those, crossbow included. So I would basically be a beast. Besides, I have histskin to heal myself, and I would carry many healing potions, made especially for me by the college of winterhold. Oh, and of course I would ask various alchemists around Skyrim to produce healing potions for my armies. One potion per soldier I believe. Many for the Dragonborn. Creating a whole new navy would require a great amount of resources, so there will only be limited nautical supporting from Skyrim. But on the other hand, I am already supporting the war like crazy, so I think it'll do. I assume I would also go for elsweyr first, being kind to the civilians and wiping out the Thalmor. I would recruit as many Khajiit soldiers as possible while occupying the land, and resupply my army with food, gear and healing potions. Will probably not be many, but hopefully a few. Repeating the same process with Valenwood, invade conquer, be kind to civilians, recruit and resupply. And finally... The battle for Alinor. I will ride into battle on the back of Odahviing, my trusted servant and commander of the dragon forces, and we will shout the Thalmor to crisps. Oh, and of course I have trained my dragons to use more shous than just fire or frost breath. Unrelenting force is incredibly useful, as is whirlwind sprint while flying, detect life and so on. Odahviing will probably be the one I taught the most shouts. If Alinor falls, I will reunite the Dominion Provinces into the Empire, and promise the survivng Altmer, Khajiit and Bosmer a representant in the elder council. After that, I will move back to Cyrodiil and find out that the remnants of the Dark Brotherhood have assassinated Titus Mede, despite my efforts to wipe them out. In my blood-soaked war-glory, I will attempt to take the Imperial Throne, not by force but by the will of the people and the council, where I hope that the three I picked from the Dominion lands will at least support me, as will many of the ones in the empire. Titus Mede I was a colovian warlord. I am a Tamrielic warlord! I think I deserve the position. Besides, I am dragonborn and I rule the remaining Dov of Tamriel. If I will not be elected, I will make the Dragonguard be the protectors of the new emperor, just like in the old days, while remaining the head of it, and return my focus to Skyrim. If I AM elected, I assume either Brunwulf, Balgruuf or Elisif will become the new High King/Queen, and I will become emperor. More about my possible reign as emperor later!
