Hm, nope no variables. As long as Dovahkiin kills the altmers and ends their threat to humanity all would be peachy, with or without Ulfric The True High King. PS. Ulfric The True High King is no elf puppet unlike titus mede II (the placator) who can be proven to enforce the elves will even when he did not have to, ie the white-gold concord. Read http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Rising_Threat%2C_Vol._IV and see the empire was not weaker than the AD. The AD simple had somewhat better intellegence and spies. DS
