Skyrim, the fifth game in the Elder Scrolls franchise, has many things that divide the fandom. Such as whether you side with the Empire or Stormcloaks in the Civil War. Those debates get nearly bloody even though people are only getting upset over a fictional game. Though, I admit, the argument that 'everyone is racist so racism is okay' gets me angry.

But there is one thing that unites the entire fandom: the utter hatred for the Thalmor.

The Thalmor are an elitist faction of High Elves that seek to rule over all of Tamriel. It was them who helped twist the Skyrim Civil War into happening. It is them who are using the conflict to create an eternal war so that the Empire is weakened.

But what if I told you that even though the Thalmor want an eternal war, a Stormcloak victory would greatly help their cause?
