You have a point, I'm just trying to emphasize that taking out the Thalmor should not be a walk in a park by any means, and should require at least some form of a coalition. All sorts factors would come in to play with a open war between the Thalmor and anyone else (for example, transporting an army to Summerset, a behemoth and sluggish task in and of itself)

Well, there is a reason the Emperor is trying to get a Summit in among the races of men and is getting the Wood Elves to rise up against the Thalmor, he didn't do it for the lolz you know xD
