The enemy of my enemy is my friend, remember that because at this time the empire is acting like an event to their friends and a friend to their enemy.

Also, I'm going to make a larger post either later tonight or tomorrow, my work schedule doesn't allow me as much free time as I'd like for a thorough debate on this topic. But like I said, Hammerfell doesnt NEED help, offering help where none is needed isnt going to be enough. IF Hammerfell was losing ground, or losing too many men, or if they were advancing on the Thalmor, collecting ships and supplies, someone approaching them with aid/supplies could forge an alliance to face a common enemy. As is stands now, Hammerfell is fine on its own. They need to TRUST eachother, because as you yourself even brought up once, who is to say once Ulfric has his troops in Hammerfell, they don't just decide to try and take Hammerfell while it's weak? Ulfric doesnt have any ambitions, and we have no direct evidence to support he would do that, but How does Hammerfell know that? Are they just supposed to say "oh you hate these elves too? come on in! it's a party!" Treaties have to be drawn up, negotiations made, terms met. And even that is just assumeing that Hammerfell would even listen... I am looking forward to your lengthy reply.
