^^^^^ I think weakened is an understatement. After all at the end of the Great War they said that in addition to the three Imperial Legions that were completely obliterated, there was not ONE legion left that was at half strength. While of course I have no idea what strength they were at at the beginning of the war, how many Legions there were to start with, or the number of Thalmor casualties, I think its safe to guess that the Thalmor suffered similar or slightly better numbers. That and, to my knowledge, the Redguards were on the defense which is normally easier to maintain than being on the defense. And the Thalmor were able to continue the assault for five years. Also, why does everyone hate Titus Mede the II? I would like to know why.
