What potenital allies are they? The biggest potential ally that springs to mind is Hammerfell, and they certaintly DO NOT support the Legion. After the Nords, most Stormcloaks are Redguards. Morrowind is devestated and at war, abandoned by the legion, so they won't support the Empire. High Rock is not strong enough to attack Skyrim successfully. Skyrim was the Empire's greatest colony, and now they have lost it they are over.
