And the Empire has let the Thalmor roam around their lands for over twenty five years killing and torturing Talos worshipers with free reign from the Empire able to mark down all strategical positions of the Empire, cause political strife, has three Provinces on their side while the Empire has lost one province, had a Civil war in another, has no current emperor, and haven't been to Summerset isle for over a century since they severed contact in 4E 29 compared to the Thalmor they are like a crippled three legged horse against a dragon without another Divine intervention.
