    I don't believe it's ever been said, but my head cannon is that Ayrenn gets assassinated by one of her own people and the Altmer begin to change the dominion to a more 'altmer first' alliance than it currently is leading to bosmer and Kahjiit revolt. Emric is killed by a cultist and the covenant eventually fractures. The Skald King...he seems to be the one who's least likely to be assassinated. In general he seems to care about his people more than Emric and is less niave than Ayrenn. He's also the only one with an heir that we know of and by the end of the EP story line, said heir is likely to try and continue the pact.

    That being said, without the worry of DC and AD in cyrodill, I feel like the pact has less of a reason to stay there and I think they might become more isolationist, focusing on their own problems.

    the ebon pact won, well kind of won, more survived to the end of their alliance. how is up to you to find out

    IMO: As far as Pact is concerned, it was mainly formed for fighting the Akaviri invasion. The Pact continued onto the interregnum era, but after it, it slowly began to collapse, because there was no higher cause for the nations to work together anymore. Dunmer would only be at a disadvantage because they wouldn't be allowed to continue with the slavery (it should be noted that they probably had to make that kind of compromise because they were desperate to drive off Akaviri), and alliance between Nords and Argonians wouldn't really hold up afterwards, because they never really were that close to begin with. Also, I doubt Nords (in case Pact endured under a Nord-Argonian alliance) would be willing to go to a possible war with the Dunmer just because they decided to enslave hundreds of their allies (especially since Dunmer are arguably the strongest nation of the three).

    Pretty sure it would be like one of those typical Total War scenarios where you ask your allies to help you against a strong enemy, but then they refuse and the alliance breaks.

    Anyways, ll alliances are very fragile, held up by a couple of charismatic leaders who managed to do that which seemed nigh impossible. When they die, things start going other ways.
