Basically the empire is weakening and they are cutting off expenses in armor/weapons,  as   they are having each time less funds coming in, as they are loosing territory.

Or it is just esthetical/weather matters for each region.

I think all of this plus the fact that they are loosing too much in their dispute with the AD (Aldmeri Dominion) means that soon we will have  no Empire then? And maybe each province will be independent kingdoms/will join the AD.

Basically, the Empire is going bankrupt.
