2) Returning to Skyrim from a meeting with the Emperor, Tiber Septim was in Cyrodiil during the entire campaign of both High Rock and Skyrim. 1) Again, we don't know that Danstrar speaks for all of Skyrim. Declare war on Skyrim because an unaffiliated rebel or bandit attacked you? And if Skyrim is already part of the Empire, it would make even less sense.

2) The book doesn't say where Tiber was or where Beatia was heading, only that she was returning from a meeting with him and ambushed in Northern Skyrim.
