Show some respect for the dead! Since I'm sure we all have killed him once or twice. Titus Mede II was exactly what the empire needed at that time. But he was not destined to be some great lengedary ruler like the septims (who all had dragon blood) or St. allesia who over threw the alyeids or yasgammar (spelt wrong I know) who throttled the snow elves. He was a just a man doing what he could not a half god. I liked titus mede his death will destablize the empire but I think that is required. First your character is the dragon born with a new group of blades.. now humans are back on par with Tiber spetim! When the war machine starts marching from skyrim most the human empire will not oppose it but join up as they have done in the past. Adding that the incarnation of Neverarine is still at large and dunmer are retaking Morrowind, they have largely supported the empire and would likely continue to do so. If they can some how regain redguard favor then it is over for the elves.

The thalmors days are numbered but thier arrogance blinds them to this fact. But titus Mede mearly bought the time and roused a rabble to get the ball rolling. With out him signing the very unpopular treaty, many humans would have meekly accepted peace. I would rather be the most hated emporer and empower my people to war by ensuring the flames of hate would smolder, than to have dealt a none lethal blow which would have only temporarily halted the thalmor.
