Didn't the Thalmor gained the favor of the Khajiits by posing as their saviors for bringing back the Moons?

I think the most likely situation is the Aldmeri Dominion and the Empire fight a long hard war. Both sides weakens to the extend where the victor of the next war doesn't matter anymore. Both sides were so badly weakened that they can't hold on to power. Thalmor lose control of Aldmeri Dominion, Titus Mede II or his successors loses control of the Empire. Tamriel go back to something similar to dark ages or some chaotic era like how it used to when Tiber Septim first started in Colovian Highlands.
