I was refering to the battle axe of Ysgramor, that is called "Elf Grinder", it is especially effective against all sort of elves, except for Orsimer. Since two thirds of Aldmeri Dominion is made up of Mer, a fearsome warrior with Wutrad, can reduce AD to only Khajits. The rest could be Fus Ro Da to smitterins by Dragon Tongues. Does this makes more sense? People often underestimate the AD. Any of them are master mages, one "Elf Grinder" wouldn't scare them away. During the war both sides suffer heavy casualties, the Imperial City was decimated by the Dominion, then the Nord barbarians had to head south to reinforce the Imperial armies and they're able to retake the Capital. Hammerfell sees heavy fighting throughout the war and in order to retake the Capital the Emperor pretty much abandons them by pulling all his forces back into central Cyrodiil.
