i guess it's because they feared the potential of the Dragonborn who was created by their most favored god Akatosh.Now since the ruler of Tamriel is a non-DB well you know the rest.....right......

what do you think..... No, the Thalmor rose shortly after the Oblivion Crisis because the empire was weak. They took advantage of the moment and took credit for ending the Oblivion Crisis.
