First @ TheRedStar: PLEASE use more than one sentence in your paragraphs, its hard to read. The only reason I'm asking is because you have valid points(otherwise I would just ignore you). And your right, the emperor being assassinated would shake things up, but after the Oblivion crisis I would imagine there is a system in place to appoint a new emperor for just such an occasion. Also I'm sure the generals and other military leaders would be prepared for something like this in times such chaotic times. Maybe, and I mean maybe, the new emperor could be one the Nords respect more than Titus, this could potentially be a turning point; however this is all speculation.

Second @ The Joker~ yes, the Empire doesn't want to risk a new war with the Thalmor while it's provinces are in a state of civil war or attempting succesion. If the Empire's citizens would just hold their tounges to avoid being taken away, and instead work on getting stronger it wouldn't be much longer before the Empire has the stength to rekindle the war.
