When it comes to the future of all of Tamriel, Empire

Skyrim, Stormcloaks

In MK lore, Landfall is #1 priority to avoid, and the Empire would be the only candidate. Y'now, before being erased from existance along with all human races.

So no, we can not agree. Skyrim is nothing without Tamriel. Any loremaster or at least someone who did extensive research knows that the DIminion vs Stormcloaks would be a rebel slaughter.
