>>47810271The White-Gold Concordat was forced upon the Empire at the end of the Great War, Cyrodil didn't want it anymore than Skyrim did. Besides the knife ears needed a cheat magic artifact to spy on the imperial legion movements throughout the first phase of the Great War because they knew they would have gotten their snooty faces kicked in without rigging the odds. As soon as they lost their cheat codes the Empire had them on the backfoot, the real mistake was Titus Mede II throwing in the towel too early and signing the Concordat to end the war when he should have just kept going until there wasn't a single Thalmor left on Tamriel. He got assassinated by the Dark Brotherhood for a reason.
