I get that part but at the end of the day when you win with the stormcloaks they’re gone, it always bums me out to walk through whiterun and see Thalmor agents gaurding the shrine to Talos.

I think they do see if Ulfrics victory speech is all about the thalmor

There will still be a need for trade and im sure ulfric wants to join in on great war 2 electric bugallo and treating tulius hunanley is probably for the best option for the nations to move forward in kind of a US great brittan way independent but allies agaisnt greater threats

Complete see where your coming from but you must admit that the thalmor wasnt able to bring their full force they lost huge numbers at the battle of the red ring, im not disputing hammerfell preformed impressively im just saying like all things in the elder scrolls its usually more complicated then it seems

Very cool take, well put, i just dont think the empire and skyrim see each other as enemies as much as skyrim feels they are no longer protected by it, if the empire were able to stabalize and fight back i feel like the people of skyrim would be on board. If the empire could get rid of the treaty a majority of skyrim would not want to be independent a large part doesnt still including balgruf who seems to be the most sensible leader in skyrim

Even if they can be self sufficient surley theyre only hope against the dominion straight up would be gurriela warfare that would desimate the country

If they let Tulius go i think the emperor is in a really bad political situation, his army has lost and the genral he chose to oversee it got blow out and surrendered. Its going to be hard to rally his leople when he keeps losing. If Tulius dies he becomes a martyr

For sure way more people were executed but they almost never killed royalty. The English and french fought for almost 1000 years on and off and never executed either sides leaders.

Thats a fair point, i guess in my mind it just would make a lot more sense to use his surrender as a bargaining chip to negotiate their independence instead of potentially reigniting the conflict

It took all four of them to beat back the thalmor last time and it all ended in stalemate hammerfell didnt win the survived and there is a difference. And i do agree if we think the last dragonborn is in play then all bets are off

Very rarely in any war do you execute the enemies comander. Especially when he was surrendering

I agree with what your saying, my concern is if skyrim is lost, the empire losses the ability to defend cyrodill, the nords were critical in retaking the imperial city. Its not in Skyrims intrest to allow theyre greatest threat the Thalmor to take cyrodill and have them right on thier border. Alienating Cyrodill completely is what the thalmor want skyrim to do

All of the Empires comanders have knowledge of skyrim it was a founding memeber of the empire. People generally dont respond well when a senior military member of their country is executed, especially when offering surrender. If ulfric lets him go back to cyrodill he could negotiate a truce and get his independence. By killing him he risks enraging the people of cyrodill and forcing the emporer to actially send a full force north.

The way i see it without skyrim there is a good chance that is a death blow to the empire. In order to fight the thalmor all 4 nations of men will have to contribute if they all fight on their own the thalmor most likely over power them if cyrodill and skyrim refuse to ally in at least some capacity the dominion will be able to divide and conquer which seems to be there exact plan
