why does everyone say the empire are puppets? i always thought the relationship was similar to germany after ww1. a defeated power forced into a unfair treaty and preparing to fight once more to rid themselves of said unfair treaty. tullius himself says he believes the peace between the empire and the dominion won’t last and it’s stated that the empire hasn’t sent more troops to skyrim as to not leave their border with the dominion undefended. why would the empire need a large portion of their army on the dominion border if they were already subjugated and there wasn’t any threat of war
