Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ysmir was already an exalted figure in the Nordic lore. That's like I'm not going to say they're not going to be able to cop out, but it'd be a little more difficult.

Kind of like Nerevarine?

It would be soo cool in real life to be known as the dragon of the north.

if I were Emperor I would have a Warrant out for any surviving blades members. I'd also form a more... Permanent bond, or at least attempt to form a bond, with the Thalmor. If I managed that than I would be able to put an end to the Stormcloak rebellion. Even if it meant wiping out all the towns in Skyrim, I would. I'd leave Talos banned, have any statues of him beheaded, and basically Caligula the place up until I die. I wouldn't be a nice ruler...

Why would you want a better bond with the thalmor?? They committed atrocities

I'd disband the order entirely. They're a relic, and not only that, they say they serve the Dragonborn, but then proceed to give him/her an ultimatum and assume that they can tell them what to do.

But their armor and weapons are cool.

Screw the Blades! They claim to be subservient to the Dragonborn but all they do is order me to kill my bro Paarthurnax. It's irritating that you can't slap Delphine in the face and say, "I'm the Dragonborn! I refuse to kill the very dragon that helped me far more than you bums to defeat Alduin." I mean, I realize that they did show me Alduin's Wall but in reality, that's all that they did.

Not to mention they talk about war crimes (which are pointless anyways if you consider it's been about a thousand years since Paarthurnax committed those atrocities and he himself helped the Nord heroes learn the Voice) when they themselves committed genocide on the dragons. It's hypocritical!


And that's why when I become Emperor, I'm giving their armor and weapons to the most highly trained warriors. Raid Sky Haven Temple to find manuscripts on Akaviri fighting styles.

But if I sit at the throne of the Empire, the first thing I'd do is teach these denizens of Tamriel how to find their butt cheeks with both hands! Seriously, the fact that only Mages seem to be educated individuals in the ways of science saddens me. But other than that...I'd just call Ohdaviing, Paarthurnax, and the rest of the dragons loyal me to the Imperial City. Make them go to Summerset Isles.

You know, just some interior decorating. Some -200 Celsius ice streams on one side with frozen Thalmor soldiers and some ash piles with inhospitable fire scorching the landscape on the other side. And in the middle of the Crystal Tower, I'd have a special place where I can make my sculpture garden personally. The Thalmor King can be the centerpiece, frozen in ice.

Then I'll legalize the Dark Brotherhood and just like any awesome ruler, DIE. I'm inclined to falling off a cliff while punching Lydia in the throat, all while doing back flips.

To have more forces to invade Skyrim with! If I couldn't manage to form the bond I wouldn't be able to send out more soldiers to Skyrim in the offchance the Thalmor attack when my forces are spread out. I would hope we could reach an understandment regarding Talos and could work together to destroy the world!
Of course, since I've already said I was gonna be an emperor that's likely to burn down his own city due to boredom I would probably betray the Thalmor sometime after that as well, but I'll deal with that when it comes to it.
