Indeed, but maybe it's a sort of investment idea? Like they are trying to build good relations in the hopes it will pay off for them later?And yes, in many ways they are. I think they don't have their own Thalmor because the houses are arguing amongst themselvse all the time... That and the Dagoth Ur thing... then the tribunal who needed to maintain control and were vying to get the heart so they could regain their power... the Empire came along and gave them a nice little treaty, but this obviously prevented them from stomping around... then the red mountain erupted... Seems like it's really luck that stops them xD
