As I said, they are isolationist. They don't care what any province in Tamriel is doing right now. What I mean by "risk their people" is that they would get many of their men killed had they joined in the war. It's not like the Altmer would actually attack them.

Yeah, I have been to those provinces.

I said those who support the Dominion. They could either switch to the Stormcloaks side or support the Dominion so they don't get killed. And they don't hate all humans. I heard that they allow Imperial traders and workers into their isles. You really think they would rather stay and let the Dominion kill them?
