@Swolp You are not thinking about this enough, the treaty outlawing the worship of Talos while it did do that also brought an end to the Great War which up to that point had already cost the Empire thousands of lives and resources and signifigantly reduced the threat of a Second Great War and FYI the Empire is not in leagues with the Thalmor in fact it could be argued that the Legion hates them just as much as the Stormcloaks do. Secondly when you were captured at the start of the game bear in mind that you'd been captured with the leader of the rebellion and a few of his top guards so I think it was safe to assume that was all they had captured instead of the leader of the rebellion, some of his top guard, and two unfortunate schmucks who just happened to be there at the exact same time they were, even though it isn't true that would seem a bit suspicious to me.
