My version of the wars end..

Captain Cannonfodder: You see men, there's no way this rebellion can stop us! We are the mighty empire! Their minor advances mean nothing!

Ensign Shortius the Stunted: The Stormcloaks are coming! The Stormcloaks are coming!

Captain Cannonfodder: What's that ensign? Stormcloaks?! In Solitude?!? Quick! Run! Hide! Someone get me an elf! Oh the humanity!

I would've loved to see the empire take the following stance.

Thalmor inquisitors: We've come to root out the Talos worshippers!

Imperial: Oh them? Yeah they're all over in Riften, Windhelm, Winterhold, and Dawnstar. Have fun!

Ha! Well played.
