"I have seen much in my time. I've always been one for reason. I studied magic, I studied people and their triumphs as well as their mistakes. I try not to judge. I try to be amiable. No more. I am not a naive youth anymore. The Dominion had come again to answer another question the foolish men of the Empire dared to pose. Could men rule Tamriel? No. The Interregnum, civil wars, the Oblivion Crisis. How many times must this happen before their folly destroys the world? I was not the most ardent hand raised in support of the Thalmor, but I followed reason. Their logic was undeniable, their diagnosis unassailable. I tried not to judge, but is that not what the mind was designed to do. To ignore it is cruelty masquerading as civility, a lie. We will lead the charge for Tamriel's destiny. We simply must."
