The 1st Division arrived at Elinhir though it was a small city it still had a considerable armed force and defenses, unfrotunatly the Division came equipped with a large amount of wheat based food and gold if it needed to buy resources, they created a large main camp on the road betewn it and Falkreath, their they waited for 3 days sending scouts all along the city in terms making a wall around it.

They stopped any attempts to enter the city and mantained their distance, using the gold they had they quickly bribed one corrupt official to leave a gate unguarded,

Sending around 60 troops they took the gate and then asimilated into the common Redguard population waiting, they had gold with them and quickly began to offer it to guards to join their cause, those who refused meant unfortunate ends, before the goverment could realize what was happening around 200 guards plus the Shuriman forces took the buildings of any and all officials, then they opened all the gates and allowed the remaining of the first division withing the town who with them carried carts filled with wheat and gold, and troops. The few city guard who had remained uncorrupted were force to surrender or die fighting a vastly larger force.

The general population was bribed by the new ruler as prices were lowered and taxation also became less, their religion was not changed and gold was used to rebuild and buy infastructure the city suffered as a result of the small battles that took place. Shuriman losses were low at only 45 warriors who had died while the city suffered the decimation of nearly a third of their guards.

The only law that upset the citizens was the simple law that all citizens would be conscripted at a age of 17 to the age of 24, though they would be trained and payed for their services. (Odd choice to attack. Elinhir is literately on the other side of the province from Shurima. That isolation from the main capital will cause lots of resistance in the occupation and it would cause a lot of extra costs from moving troops in between Shurima and Elinhir, as it would take several months to move them between one another. There is also the religious resistance, as your religion is unique and thus people would be resistant to it. But seeing that you wrote that your nation is very tolerant on religion it shouldn't be a problem, unless you choose to enforce your religion onto the populace.

PS.: I don't know if you knew this but Tamriel has been enlarged 100 times from what it is in TESV: Skyrim. For example here, Windhelm has a population of 5400 citizens and around 2000 troops, counting the city guard.)
