Doesn't change that we still have no reason to disbelieve the facts around the 500 and the just fate of the Snow Elves.

Still doesn't answer why the AD stopped when they had the Imperial forces on the brink of destruction as you say.

That would be the time when most would press on, the enemy is on their last ropes.

To give them a breather, let the Imperials gather strength when you were suppesedly winning...

Just, that really gives me pause.

Makes me wonder if I'm to kind in my view of the Altmer.

They'd have to be really, really stupid to give up on victory like that and for no reason.
