mainland Redoran and Vvardenfell Redoran

[raggidman]

Brilliant Map KK, gives a very clear idea of the on the ground resource-based change in fortunes, with Redoran barely hanging onto their last fertile strip in the South.

Still want you to consider that the redeployment of the Legions mentioned in TES3 'gossip' happened 'decade/s before the events actually happening in TES4. So where does this:

quote KukulzA: 'and about timing you are right... the Legions are probably gradually withdrawing and probably only starting to amass at the borders of Cyrodiil at the moment as they may draw half of a legion from every fort and then reorganize legions to send back to Cyrodiil therefore making the half withdrawal gradual and provinces less likely to defect from the Empire quickly...

come from?

There is no way that all the legions or even a significant part of them could be withdrawn in the space of 2 weeks. In that time they would still be reeling from the shock of the Emperor's death and trying to cope on a local scale - added to which that the villain turns out to be the 'chancellor' by all accounts = chancellor of what? Of the Empire? If so them the empire's finances will be paralysed too until he is replaced, so no Empire-wide initiatives possible.

Just the odd moves by local commanders who feel that they have to react or be destroyed...

[KuKulzA]

in the beginning of Morrowind they said the Legions were in a gradual evacuation process going back to Cyrodiil... however with the Emperor's death the commanders and generals probably did whateber they wished....


which gives me an idea... what of instead of going through/over the Velothi Mts., a Legion general decided to go rogue and had begun pillaging Redoran land and made himself a warlord in the absence of the Emperor and the fall of the Septim dynasty?

I totally support that Ku. Many Roman/Europeans did that if their leige died some how.
