Well I wondered if it was me forgetting as the last reply I think in the PM was we'll be told about their response and I can't remember the response so I guess that clears that up...
Enemies I imagine the Elves know too well they;ll have to tackle. Like I said, I doubt the Thalmor havn't taken into conisderation the Greybeards precence. I'd imagine they'll have something up their sleeve, for when the time comes. The Sea of Ghosts isn't entirely unassailable though. Ships travel through the sea of ghosts all the time. Magic is key here, because the Dominion could simply use Fire mages, to melt the icebergs as they near them. They could literally use magic to clear the way for the fleet. Last time I checked, the Stormcloaks had literally no real naval presence to speak of. They landed all over the Empires shores, when it was still strong, and carved their way into a full strength Empire. The minute those ships land, you're getting a firestorm, or a lightning storm, from every vessel, straight into anyone waiting for them. The only thing I could see putting up a modicum of resistance is the College. 25 years is more then enough time to get a good understanding of the lay of the land. Maybe not aswell as the natives, but easily enough to know how to fight in its conditions. You can argue really, but the Stormcloaks literally wouldn't stand a chance. A single legion is basically keeping the rebellion in check. I believe they have 20 legions. All of which whilst the Empire was less fragmented fought the Thalmor to a standstill. Having lost a few provinces since then they haven't exactly gotten any stronger. Losing Skyrim only further fractures the Empire. I legion of an incredibly weak empire, is holding the Stormcloaks to a standstill. The Cloaks arn't winning any realistic battle. And what the Stormcloaks are doing is absolutely next to pointless. Everyone and their mother knows the Dominion and the Empire are gearing up for round 2. The Stormcloaks are fighting against an Empire that is AGREEING with them, but wants to wait till the time is absolutely perfect to drive the Aldmeri out. It's a pointless war, by a pointless group, who can't see the bigger picture.
So how does Thalmore cock taste anyways? Seeing as you Imperial cowards bent over and allowed them to informally rule the Empire to the point they're allowed to persecute Talos worship in Talos' own Empire. Pathetic.
Real men do not kneel. You brought the war in Skyrim with your ignorance, it's like going to an American and wiping your arse with the Constitution and going "We cool bro?". They must have known what that'd do to Skyrim. And then to say this does nothing, wrong, it does good for Skyrim. Skyrim can hold if given time and then once they have said time they'll uphold their traditions and no Elves are going to tell them otherwise. Reason why the Stormcloaks aren't at full power is they're a fraction of Skyrim's might, with Ulfric as High King he can unite the lands and then have a unified Skyrim which will be one of the most powerful in all of Nirn. Then the Empire will turn to them for help, they'll give it on the condition Skyrim remains independent from the Empire. I assume eventually the Empire will take Skyrim back but Skyrim will have a better deal than before so to speak. And the Empire has been degrading ever since the last Septim. Since there is no true Emperor, they are posing as Emperor. Martin Septim's sacrifice saved the world but doomed the Empire. Can't really fault him though.
......The Empire is heading straight for a second war...If you want to damage Mankinds greatest shot at beating the Dominion, all so you can be stuck on a snow covered rock, until the Elves crush the Nords.....then you are a shorsighted fool. Real men know when its time to put down the sword. This is a rebellion, and the Empire is defending its possession. The ignorant ones are the Cloaks, who are damaging the only thing capable of beating the Dominion. Does nothing good for Skyrim, once all those around it serve the Elves. It can't hold. I legion is holding the Cloaks. You're foolish to believe the Nords have a prayer. And they'll be a fraction, once the civil war claims a ton of lives from both sides. The whole world will be conquered around them. They'll have no trade, and god knows no way out of Skyrim legally. It will take it back, thus making the whole war a waste of lives, to the delight of the Elves. Its degrading because of stupid decisions made by idiots like Ulfric, who would rather see it burn, and fortify Skyrim, as the Empire, and all of Nirn falls around them.
Do real men also know how to take the helm of an Elf? It's possession? Have you been at the skooma? Skyrim chose to be in the Empire and now it refuses after being dishonoured and spat upon by the Glorious Empire. You see a young Skyrim which has only just begun, soon the Nords will fall in line and stand united against the Empire if they choose the path of war and to stand firm against the Elves. The Empire when pressured to take back Skyrim will tell their Elven Overlords, we can't yet, we're mustering troops. And like with so many other things the Empire will ignore Skyrim while pretending to deal with it. Other provinces will hear of Skyrim's liberation from the Thalmor puppet and answer the call to rise up. You do not understand why Skyrim fights then...
And you are a lickspittle who has allowed your culture to be reamed by elves. Elves. The Nords need not bend the knee to a cowardly Empire to face the elves, I'm sure they'd ally against them in a pinch to face the greater foe and persecutor of their god.
It's a province of the Empire....They arn't going to let it go when they need all the manpower they can get. And you say Skyrim refuses, yet HALF the damn population wants the Empire. The Aldmeri will conquer it. The terrain didn't help the Snow Elves when Ysgramor invaded, and it didn't help the Nords when the Akaviri invaded Skyrim
