Thats pretty much it. This is why I hate how Bethesda made the Thalmor. They have such potential yet they were squandered to be fantasy nazis. Well, Skyrim basically showed them as pure evil yes, but I've always wondered if the final goal they have in mind is actually for the good of the province. People have ideas about what they are trying to accomplish, but Beth hasn't directly revealed their true motives yet. What if they have, say, received a sign from the future about some sort of doom approaching, and the only way to get through is to have an Elven-based empire based on wisdom instead of war? Could be something like that. We really don't know yet.
