The empire is much more than an emperor it is one of the main legacies of the human race in the world of elder scrolls. WIthout them men would be slaves of mer, they are also smart enough to realize that it is better to live to fight and win another day than die and lose today. Almost every major character in the empire still secretly worship talos, not to beg for help against the thalmor but to remind them that if they gave up everything the empire has worked for would be lost. They are baring with the thalmor so they can live until the day they have the power destroy them. They are enduring and smart they know what it takes to prevail in times of hardships even if it means licking the boots of their greatest enemy. Do not dis the empire
