I believe I mentioned that too in the way. Amoung all other things, that makes them not like Talos, they want Talos gone mostly because he stands in the way of their master plan. Also, I do believe that they were quite happy that Shor is missing from the pantheon, as he wouldn't stand in the way of their master plan, but now they have Talos who is essentially new Shor, or Shor restored within the pantheon as Talos. Now once again, the missing god, the whole reason the Mondus was created in the first place, stands in their way of destroying Mondus and men.

The saddest part, is that more then likely that theory of returning back to heaven if they achieve all that destruction is wrong. Was it Pink Slim that pointed out that Altmer are no more E'henofrey then men? The original E'henofrey, resided on Aldmeries and they were Aldmer. Summerset Isles, used to be a part of that continent, but it split up. The Altmer who live there are not the same Aldmer that lived on Aldmeris anymore, but they kept their culture. Men used to be just like Aldmer before, but they decided to travel and the further they got from Aldmeris, the less of Aldmer they had. Eventually, Aldmer did not recognized the original men as E'henofrey anymore. According to Pink Slim, none of the races of Tamriel in present time, really related to original E'henofrey. So, it doesn't seem that Thalmor's plan really going to restore their divinity, especially since chances are that they never had that devinity in the first place. They just have the bigger head then the average Altmer.
