1) No, only if the Thalmor did lose all their armies and he surrendered for nothing.

2) I've never doubted it was the largest in Elven history, that's Turkeysocks. I'm open to that possibility. What I'm saying is that that the Legate and his sources have no way of knowing if they commited their entire force. Previous army sizes do NOT dictate the size of current ones.

3) You have no proof the book is biased, Zipper. And yes, the workers of Cidna Mine DO corroborate it. Talk to Braig during the "No one Escapes Cidna Mine" quest. He tells you how Ulfric and Igmund's men killed his daughter even though she had nothing to do with the uprising. Madanach then tells you how stories like that were perpetrated many times.

4) No, not until I know if they plan on following in Mede's footsteps or chaning them.
