Yes, unite Tamriel against the Thalmor. They could also form a Commonwealth as opposed to an Empire, that way everyone can be united, yet independent.

You really think they're going to go through that much trouble just to stay with the Empire? First of all, Hammerfell could block that water way. Second of all, how do you know the Talos ban didn't effect them, he was born in High Rock after all (Some say he was born in Atmora, but that's very unlikely). Third of all, they don't owe the Empire this much. Skyrim is right next to them, is a fellow human race (Breton's consider themsevles human, even though they do have Elven blood), etc. What would be the reason to pick the Empire over them? There's literally no benefit of their part if they do that.
