House Hlaalu is not actually a great supporter of the Empire, rather, they support PROFIT. The Empire brings them business, so they currently favor the Empire.

business AND power. With the entire Empire at their backs they're pretty much the dominant house.

Well, theres some debate about that currently. I think Indoril and Hlaalu are tied for power currently, although that will quickly change after the fall of Dagoth Ur...

WTF What does Big D has to do with Hlaalu and Indoril ? Plus Indoril... let's say not in it's best times. It's in ruins comparing to it's former glory. Hlaalu will be in ruins (if there will be Hlaalu actually) after Empire will fall. Hlaalu will simply get crushed by Telvanni.

What I meant is that after Dagoth Ur falls, the Tribunal lose their power, and as a result, the temple is pretty much over. With the loss of the temple, Indoril will become much weaker.

Hlaalu has chosen to ally with the Empire for business and profit, knowing that this was thier best option. It indeed turned out to be a smart move as they are currently the most powerful house, though Indoril follows closely. However, Hlaalu are continuing to grow and Indoril are continuing to lose power, land and money to Hlaalu, and with the end of the temple as we know it like Phean said, Indoril will loose even more power, in the end Hlaalu will end up dominant, at least until the Empire weakens and are forced to retreat back to Cyrodil, then Indoril, Dres, Telvanni and probably Redoran will crush Hlaalu.

Actually the second in power is Telvanni, than Indoril among with Redoran and than Dres.

Except that the Telvanni's power is used against each other just as often as against others, so, as a house, they are not as powerful as they would be were they more united.

Well, Telvanni is first in power if it was united.

Disunited though, is a different matter. It may be partially changed after Gothren dies and Aryon is the new Archmagister though.

Ya, Archmsgister Gothern is the reason of the Telvannis weakness, as Phaen said, Aryon would be more focused on uniting the Telvanni and making them more powerful.
