But they can't go telling the nords, whose patron god is Talos, that they can no longer worship him. What if the roles were reversed? Would the elves like it if the nords said 'Nope, we beat you in this war, we're better than you, and by the way you can't worship Auriel/Akatosh anymore." I'm pretty sure you'd be hating them a lot for that. That's retribution, for the events of The Return. And the Nords' involvement in that.

They did kinda bring that upon themselves though. They attacked humanity because humans were reproducing more quickly than they likeld. So a small group of Snow Elves kill off a small group of Nords, and so the Nords commit genocide against the entire Snow Elven race? It is, indeed retribution. Nords don't deserve to live.
