User blog comment:Wizard Danny/If you could Defeat the Thalmor in Tamriel how would you do it?/@comment-5737364-20130207085314

Help them in their efforts, and then do my best to keep the Altmer superiority/racism in check. Consider me a traitor to all that is good, if you wish, but It's logical, and the only feasible way I see to reunite Tamriel under one banner again. If I did my job well, kept Altmer superiority in check, made sure the other races don't get slaughtered, it would be better for the races of Tamriel in general if we had one banner

Besides, the Empire at the time isn't really the Fourth Empire. It's being controlled by Titus Mede II who is the son of a Colovian Warlord who seized the crown and conquered the Imperial City during the Stormcrown Interregnum. At a loss of a legitemate Imperial ruler, a legitimate Thalmor ruler will do.

Hammerfall was abandoned by the Empire because of the Thalmor, Skyrim is attempting to secede the Empire with violence, Black Marsh has seceded during the Oblivion Crisis, and they are attacking what is left of Morrowind after the Red Mountain Crisis, which decimated Vvardenfell and Morrowind. In general Tamriel is in shambles. The Empire is illegitimate and unfit to rule. Argonia is fighting the remnants of Morrowind. Skyrim hates the Empire. Hammerfall feels abandoned by the Empire. That only leaves the Aldmeri Dominion standing.

I have no love for them, but it's only logical. Besides, Bend Will would work wonders for my cause if I was Dragonborn, which you never said I was, so I won't assume I am.

TL:DR-

Help Thalmor rule, keep their cruel ways and superiority in check.
