Your comprehension of the history of the Empire needs work.

And by work he means "complete replacement".

You obviously have no knowledge of the lore of the Empire and the Stormcloaks, or the Thalmor.

It's essentially a reflection of how powerful muffle is; the devs thought it would be a largely situational thing that most people wouldn't cast often, but a very useful one, and so they made the magicka cost low but the skill reward high. It would make sense, since the circumstances where you're concerned with your enemies hearing you instead of seeing you are few. But, then someone casts muffle a few times and they're like "shit, xp!" and they walk everywhere casting muffle.

Skill grinding at its greatest. Love it.

Yeah. And the thing is, I never really use muffle when needed because I have muffle enchanted boots :lol:

The Empire only "sold out" in spirit. The Skyrim authorities had a don't ask, don't tell policy towards Talos. People were free to worship whomever. That stopped with Ulfric. The Thalmor sent agents to Skyrim beacuse Ulfric was espousing free worship.

One of the things I like about the Legion is it diversity.

1 Imperial General (Tullius, duh)
3 Nord Legates (Rikke, Skulnar, Hrollod)
3 Imperial Legates (Taurinus Duilis, Constantius Tituleius, Quentin Cipius)
1 Breton Legate (Emmanuel Admand)
1 Dunmer Legate (Sevan Telendas)
1 Thalmor-hating Altmer Legate (Fasendil)
A few Orc NPCs who have mentioned serving in the Legion (Ghorbash the Iron Hand, Ghorza gra-Bagol, Moth gro-Bagol)
A bunch of generic Imperial and locally-recruited Nord soldiers (including Hadvar)

Meanwhile, the Stormcloaks are all Nords.

Let's see...

Random skirmish between 3 imperials and 3 stormcloaks. Stormcloaks were crushed.
Random bandit.
2 Sabre cats.
That mini heart attack when you realize you're being chased by 2 giants and 3 mammoths (when you're at level 28)

All this on the way from Rorikstead to Whiterun.

*Severe Error so I had to edit* I almost have it but then again I mostly use it when in a mix battle where enemy mages are present, so I can just absorb what they throw at me to feed my magica then I simply put that to healing any left over physical damage. *shrugs* Atronach Stone :)

Then again, I suppose it is hard to roar with your throat cut.
