True, but the Redguards managed to almost single-handedly force the Thalmor out of Hammerfell. Admittedly, the Thalmor were weaker due to the Great War, but the tenacity of the Redguards is something to behold. Its a shame that the Septim Empire ended, though. Its the Mede Empire's incompetence that led to this sad state of affairs.
