The Blades had nothing to do with the Oblivion Crisis happening, aside from Jaufree being an idiot. He should have kept the Amulet either on him or with Martin, the only other heir so really no caution in defending it if Martin is lost. The Mythic Dawn were able to kill the Septims simply because it had to happen, no one can stop fate. Uriel makes this clear from the beginning of the end.
