Im saying the Thalmor would have to prepare, which would catch the eye of the Empire, (If they are half as smart as you say they are.) which would bring them into the fight, becuase as you said, "Skyrim is inportant, to the war" Which means that the Empire wouldn't let them take skyrim. And then if the Nords won the civil war (ONLY IF!), They would fight the Thalmor alongside them, (Becuase that would mean the peace treaty would be broken, allowing the nords to worship again. So what else are they going to do except kill the people trying to ban Talos, again!?) then the ony hope would be the surrounding islands, if they don't help, the age of man is done for. If the Stormcloaks win, The Thalmor will immediately invade Skyrim, since the Nords stand for everything the Aldmeri Dominion does not, they pretty much have a target on their backs. The Empire will be even more weak after lose the civil war, so they are in no way set to refuse the Dominion invasion to Skyrim. How do the Stormcloaks by themselves, untrained civilians and all, defend Skyrim from the Dominion Forces, which include Summerset Isle, Valenwood, and Elsweyr? An Independent Skyrim has no allies, 2 major borders with Thalmor already stationed there, just fought a civil war with its entire force, and Ulfric himself stated they Could not defend against an invasion from the Empire. Can Skyrim fight 2 fronts? Especially after losing men in a civil war? Especially when most of its army consists of civilians and such who have no military or combat training?
