Legate Alexandros wrote: I think that Empire definetly would win if they would still have Numidium, where the Brass God when you need one? Darn you Underking, Empire could surely use Numidium against Thalmor. You were against your old friend Tiber Septim using it and for what? Because he didn't use it on the right elves? Because he didn't punish Dunmer/Chimer for your last death and humiliation at Red Moutain?

Oh and if the situation seem to be so bad, why did Titus II left the Aldmeri Genral to the mercy of people? If he wanted better terms, he should have kept him alive longer, suggesting that something might happen to Thalmor great general if they going to continue pushing the original terms. Like I don't know, he could take an unfortunate fall from the top of White Gold Tower...with a rope around his neck? If he had waited a bit longer with letting people kill him, maybe the terms could have been revised and the general wouldn't need to die, or he might as well would, depends on honor from both sides, or just the Empire's. It's a damn good thing that the Underking destroyed the Numidium (however the hell he did it) that thing in the wrong hands could possibly cause the end of the world.

Numidium's siege of Alinor:

"It's not the Brass God that wrecks everything so much as it is all the plane(t)s and timelines that orbit it, singing world-refusals.

The Surrender of Alinor happened in one hour, but Numidium's siege lasted from the Mythic Era until long into the Fifth. Some Mirror Logicians of the Altmer fight it still in chrysalis shells that phase in and out of Tamrielic Prime, and their brethren know nothing of their purpose unless they stare too long and break their own possipoints."

So as you can see it wasn't just some giant robot but literally a god machine.

Regarding Lord Naarifin, he was not killed by the people, he was kept alive hanging from the White-Gold Tower for 33 days. I also find it hard to believe that The Aldmeri Dominion would be willing to give into the Empires demands just because they have one of their generals.
