"First, Camlorn is actually quite grand. Wayrest is a pathetic and lowly region with an inferiority complex to Daggerfall, possessing no real power. Second I never said Skyrim would ally, I said it would rebel. Third, you say 'when' when you should be saying 'if, though it is unlikely'. The Mane would not side with the Empire, as the Khajiit always have, and likely always will side with the Dominion when given the choice. Especially now, since they believe the Elves brought back the moons, which they worship, after their brief dissappearance, simultaneously causing the Khajiit to consider the Altmer near omnipotent. It is true that Hammerfell would not fight alongside High Rock, but they certainly would not fight against it, when they have the Dominion to worry about. There would be a peace treaty, and the provinces would each defend their own borders. And the Dunmer support won't help the Empire, as Morrowind is a land of ashes, with cities in ruin, not yet rebuilt from the last war.

Any force marching through Valenwood would definetly fail, as the Bosmer know their homeland, and would probably snipe the pathetic forces of the Empire down, as there are no better archers in Tamriel. The advantage of archery is that they can bring low their sword- and axe-swinging foes before they can get close, and pin enemy archers before they can get a good shot at the Bosmer snakes in the grass, terrain advantage. The Altmer are the greatest sorcerers in Tamriel, and as always, magic always bests physical force. Imperials may know magic, but they are inferior in it at best, equaled or bested by all but Nords and Orsimer with the forces of Magicka. The Dominion crushed the Empire in the Great War, when it was at full strength, and they certainly wouldn't fail against the current pathetic remnants of the 'Cyrodiilic Empire'. Comparing the Empire to the Dominion is like comparing an earthworm to a Tsaesci. The stronger is obvious.
