The empire with a coalition invade Akaviri

This is a discussion for a hypothetical story or game involving the Elder Scrolls Series in which Akaviri is invaded by a coalition of Tamriel Armies.

It is not really a suggestion though in the unlikelihood that it is used by Bethesda to make a game, book, or movie that would be cool, it's not the purpose of this thread. It is intended only to talk about the possibility and why each nation would do so.

The Empire I think is obvious as they have a dead emperor to avenge. Disaster at Lonith remember?

The Argonians of the Black Marsh could be convinced by the Empire to go for some favor or perhaps the Tsaesci have a hist tree of their own that interest them.

The Dunmer people of Morrowind could be convinced by allowing them to have some land there to try and rebuild and buying it from the Argonians and Khajiit and then giving the Dunmer morrowind and a large contingent of battlemages and engineers to reclaim that territory. (I am sure it's possible by now.)

The Nords of Skyrim would not take much convincing since they have always sided with the Empire. unless Ulfric won and then it would just be appeasing him or his dissidents. Depending on how they want to write that later. Many possible motives.

I am not entirely sure why Hammerfell and High Rock would go. Though Each of these nations could be promised more land for their military aid.

Elsweyr and Valenwood would be tricky as they have fought each other in the past. Amnesty , reparations, and an official apology from the Dunmer people could do the trick for them. For Valenwood they might just want the Empire to owe them one and some land. Side Note: Elsweyr might also want to go to find out if the Tiger people are their relatives.

?Summerset Isle could go for more land and to have the empire owe them one.

Whatever is left of Yokuda would desperately need more land. They would help.

Pyandoneaians would be absolutely crucial for their naval military might, which is Akavari's main weakness. They have no navy. The Empire would bend over backwards to get their aid. Side note: Potentially the Argonians could want some of their land as well as the Bosmer.

The Aldmeri Dominion might go, but would have obvious conflicts with the Pyandonesians and the empire itself. More land, having the empire owe them, and perhaps an interest in the magic there.

The Sload people would go because they owe the empire after the whole disease thing and they would want more land and political say so in the empire itself.

In an effort to garner more forces the empire might send expeditions to Atmora to find the civilization that did not flee from the civil war Ysgramor and his followers did. There are likely still there. Probably as advanced as the ancient nords were.

If this were a book it would detail how the Emperor pulled together Tamriel and successfully invaded and occupied Akaviri.

If this were to be a Movie it would be similar.

If this were a game we could be a prisoner of whatever race we pick and our story would start from there.

Of course this is all hypothetical.

Does anyone have anything to add?
