Epilogue
With the defeat of the Aldmeri Dominion and their Necromyan and Mirdakian allies, peace began to return to Tamriel. The Thalmor Officials captured during the battle of Alinor were put on trial, and were eventually executed or imprisoned for their roles in both the first Great War, and this Great War, now being officially called the Second Great War. With the Aldmeri homeland firmly in Imperial and DMC hands, and the Aldmeri Dominion officially overthrown, the White-Gold Concordat was effectively nullified. The worship of Talos was once again welcomed, which overjoyed the human denizens of the Empire. The Necromyans and Mirdakians that had supported the Dominion were rounded up and escorted from Nirn, now a world officially protected by the forces of the Dragon'taan Marauder Corps. The Empire welcomed the DMC presence, and constructed an Embassy for the DMC in Skyrim.
Faasnu, in recognition for his meritorious service to both the Empire and the DMC, was placed in charge of DMC affairs throughout the Empire of Tamriel. Faasnu and Kabier got married, as they had planned, in the Riften Temple of Mara, after which, they returned home to Whiterun, where they supervised the construction of the DMC Embassy. There, their love grew, and they began contemplating starting a family. This idea was broadly supported by both Elenwen and her family and by Jarl Balgruuf, who was eager to play the role of "Uncle Balgruuf." Their wish finally came true one day when, on the first anniversary of Faasnu and Kabier's wedding, Kabier announced she was pregnant. Faasnu was initially shocked, but quickly leapt into the role of an expectant father with great enthusiasm. During a massive ceremony, Faasnu was awarded the DMC Medal of Distinguished Service for especially meritorious service to both the DMC and the Empire.
Elenwen, herself, had a child on the way. Leigh, Elenwen's daughter, quickly became excited at the news she would soon be a big sister. Elenwen and Faelian's affection for each other grew every day. Eventually, Leigh began calling Faasnu "Uncle Faasnu." Even though pregnant, Elenwen attended the Medal ceremony with Faasnu and the other heroes of the war, in which she was awarded the Aldmeri Cross of Loyalty, for aiding in the reinstatement of King Janus.
Ulfric Stormcloak, former leader of a Rebellion against the Empire, now the leader of an elite fighting force, remained the head of the Stormcloak Special Forces, moving their headquarters to Windhelm. To this day, the SSF remained Skyrim's most elite fighting force. Eventually, Ulfric began welcoming Argonians, Dunmer, and other races into the ranks of his elite fighting force. In a matter of months, he transformed his force from a Private Army to a force on par with the Imperial Army. People from all walks of life from multiple provinces flocked to join him. Ulfric Stormcloak was awarded the DMC Medal of Honor, for his part in the war.
General Tullius remained the head of Imperial Military affairs in Skyrim, staying in Solitude while he monitored the Imperial Army. With their joint victory over the Dominion, new recruits began coming to the Imperial Army from all corners of the Empire, keeping their recruitment on par with the SSF. The Imperial Army gained significant popularity from the populace of the Empire, due in no small part to their victories against the Aldmeri Dominion during the war. Tullius was awarded the Imperial Exemplary Service Medal in recognition for his part in the war.
After the war, Paarthurnax returned to his home on the Throat of the World, where he taught other dragons of the warrior who fell from the stars to wage war on his father's enemies. Eventually, he, himself, had a child, a child that grew to be close to Faasnu and his family.
Odahviing remained at Faasnu's side, and gladly told children across the empire of his adventures with the Son of Dovahkiin. However, he still wondered what really happened to Dovahkiin – did he die of old age or old wounds? Or does he still wander the galaxy, using the power of his voice to wage war against his foes?
One thing is certain in the now rapidly-changing Tamriel: While the Second Great War is over, the struggles facing the newly-formed Alliance have only just begun...
