Which victory will be considered as canon, stormcloak or empire?
Both victories appears to have some extreme consequences comparing each one
I'd say, unless Bethesda intends to see the world return to be enslaved by the high elves, (Altmer) And unless Skyrim discovers some extremely powerful weapon against the high elf empire. The only possible canon victory would be imperial.
If Stormcloak wins, they would be a single independant province against the whole force of the altmer empire.
If The Empire wins, they will still have the strength of number, should their desperate pact with the altmer empire be broken.
(Going for both victories, so i'll find out in due time if the stormcloak approach is even survivable.)
