Anyways, what this started as was a defence of the Empire for having to sign the White-Gold Concordat.

"The treaty was the only means to end the conflict for the Empire and heavily favors the Aldmeri Dominion, who would have otherwise crushed the Empire."

Both of these are found on the White-Gold Concordat page of the wiki.

"...the Aldmeri were in a position to eventually overwhelm the Empire - the Imperial army had suffered the loss of three entire Legions during the war (one in the retreat from the Imperial City in the previous year and two more during the Battle of the Red Ring)..."

As proven by the statements above, the Aldmeri Dominion would have crushed the Empire, which was in grave danger of being annihalated. Tiber Septim crushed the first Aldmeri Dominion, and I'm sure that he wouldn't mind having a temporary sacrifice in his name to crush another Aldmeri Dominion, and let his Empire live.

Let all Stormcloak supporters know that the White-Gold Concordat was nessecary.
