It seems strange to me that the Empire wouldn't want to have control of this fort considering it's in such a key location, especially with the Civil War going on. They must know it exists surely, it's the same sort of fort architectually as all the other forts in Skyrim, and they know about them. I find it odd that to enter the Imperial Army you have to clear some useless fort on the north coast that has no real strategical importance other than being kind of close to Solitude, when getting control of the Bloodlet Throne would give them another gateway from Cyrodiil into Skyrim (not to mention it's proximity to Hammerfell too), not to mention strengthening security around what seems to be a really poorly defended Falkreath.
