And if you speak with Ulfric in-game, you might hear him say how the Empire of Skyrim is no longer the real Empire but a Thalmor controlled army.... I highly agree with him. The Empire of the past could be seen as good, but now they are controlled by the Thalmor. They can't even send couriers from city to city without the Thalmor overseeing it.
