The Thalmor, from what we know, stayed in their Crystal Tower, and put on a big show, and claimed responsibility for the gates being closed in Summerset Isles, after Martin closed the gates using the Amulet of Kings. (Incidentally... the Amulet of Kings plays a part in the main storyline in ESO). well the high elves as a nation (not the Thalmore) did hold back the daedra for a time until they started rungin low on supplies, they did better than most countries but yeah without Akatosh defeating Dagon i doubt they would have held off for much longer. then again you could say the same for Argonia, if Dagon wasnt killed then eventually he would have overwhelmed their nation as well regardless of them destroying a few of teh gates

anyways i think the way things stand with the Thalmore fighting the Empire's remnants and Hammerfall, no they wouldnt do too well but if they didnt have beef with the rest of tamriel at the moment they would have a rather diverse force of Khajit, Wild and High elves to invade Black Marsh and they would probly win (at least in the cities, thats for sure), would suffer a lot of casulties tho from disease however
