I also believe the main reason the Thalmor have adopted the strategy of Infilitration in Skyrim is because they lacked the knowledge of how to successfully disable the Snow Tower. I mean it's a big fucking mountain on the other side of the world whose "stone" is a wound in time that no elf has ever even seen. AND all their records are, again, gone. They would still be using the strategy of Total War if they believed it could be successful. But if I'm right about their goal being the Erasure of Mundus, they cannot afford to allow the chance of even one Tower still standing.


My final reason for why I believe the Thalmor are trying to destroy the world is meta. If there isn't powerful elf wizard with a solid plan of how to destroy everything within the Thalmor ranks - Who's gonna be the BBEG for TES6? I don't believe for a second that the stakes are going to be lowered when there has been a reality-ending threat in 3, 4, and 5.

The Adamantine Tower will be the final tower standing. The Thalmor will be going after it with the Redguards in their way. The Empire is but a wild-card played through the political intrigue of High Rock. Maybe the Orcs save the day. This is the stage that TES6 will play out on.

I certainly can't guarantee I'm right, and almost all your points about an unreliable narrator and reality shifting to accommodate the story the devs want to tell is absolutely correct. I just disagree, and wanted to type about it. And just so you are aware I die on this hill
