Maybe I should have specified that the logic of burning forests in those areas make sense, but the way you described it sounded like scorched earth on an unlikely scale. As in, they burned down every single forest in those provinces, which would be somewhat infeasible.

Ah, I see. That makes more sense, especially since explosives are nothing new to the lore. The Dwemer are shown to have a couple of explosive devices, so it's possible the Dominion could make something similar.

And yeah, it's sort of the risk you run with fan-made lore. At the end of the day, whoever is actually making it will probably do something entirely different. And that official lore will probably (but not always) be accepted better by the fanbase. Still, as I said before, you had some good ideas in there.
