In regards to your theory, there is no need as such for a third group, but the pull of the Khajiit (due to the reasons mentioned above) is far greater. But yes, Khajiit are a far more plausible addition than the Redguards, the next closest geographically. And after I initially made this thread, I came up with three plausible reasons for the alliance:

1. The Altmer already had some initial trust with the Khajiit since they were present in the previous Dominions

2. The Khajiit willingly offered their services after the Dominion brought back the moons Masser and Secunda

3. The Khajiit would prove as valuable warriors alongside the Bosmer's archers and Altmer's mages
