"Not a lordling? How dare you insult the daughter of the duke of Camlorn!" She spoke loudly yet sarcastically. "Besides, if Cyrodiil angered the royal family of Daggerfall, they would lose the support of the Bretons of High Rock, and the Orsimer would likely follow suit. They have already lost Hammerfell, Black Marsh, and suffered massive decline to Morrowind, leaving them with only Skyrim and High Rock. Then again, if he listens to you, the Emperor must be a fool in the first place, so he might actually take the chance, and lose High Rock as a result. Just walk the streets of Daggerfall and you find out that we're already questioning the capabilities of the Empire, since the Septim dynasty went extinct. If the Emperor starts to accuse our nobles, the Bretons will finally snap, and abandon it."

"Cyrodiil would be ripe for the red harvest of the Dominion. Meanwhile, High Rock and Hammerfell would hold out, likely in alliance. The Nords would probably give up on the Empire too, as they have already done once before. The Empire simply cannot withstand the loss of High Rock. And they know it. If an Empire loses all provinces other than it's homeland, it is not an Empire, and not a superpower capable of surviving the Dominion."
