@TDITN, and what was the Empire primarily composed of at the time? Even if it wasn't the Nords who conquered them they certainly aren't treating them any better then the First Empire to my knowledge, if anything even worse. I don't know about human sacrifice but I know the Reachmen started looking up to hagravens BECAUSE of the Empire's conquest, and it isn't just religion, look at the overall treatment of the Reachmen in the Reach, and tell me with a straight face it's perfectly ethical. All in all the point I was making wasn't about religion, I understand the importance of Talos and all that, it  was that for all the Nord's whining about how the Empire is SO cruel and oppressive to them they are much, much, much worse when it comes to the treatment of others.

I know all about the fact that the Falmer tried to kill off all the Nords so they may have brought it on themselves when the Nords responded in kind. I was simply saying that performing genocide is almost never excusable and this case is not an exception. I just don't believe Nords should be able to get away scott free when they killed off the Falmer.
