Ironically, it seems that the fact that the Thalmor has some of the best tacticians and wizards is severely underestimated.

Why would the Thalmor just go into Black Marsh without having at least basic intelligence?

They would probably decide to not burn it down, but FREEZE Black Marsh with an army of Frost Artronachs and summoned beasts. They have ways.

They would know at least something of the terrain & probably would use Khajiit as scouts. What might interest them could be rumors of a Great Tower, some mystical Hist, & the resources.
