The entire remaining Imperial force was gathered in Cyrodiil, exhausted and decimated by the Battle of the Red Ring. The peace treaty was needed due to the status of the Imperial army.ДЄlthough victorious, the Imperial armies were in no shape to continue the war. The Dominion forces in Cyrodiil were wiped out, unable to retreat due to the shield wall of Legionnaire's to the south. Lord Naarifin was kept alive for thirty-three days, hanging from the White-Gold tower. The Emperor's decision to withdraw from the Imperial City in 4E 174 was bloodily vindicated. In the end, the main Aldmeri army in Cyrodiil was completely destroyed. An attempt by the Aldmeri to break out of the city to the south was blocked by the unbreakable shieldwall of General Jonna's battered legions. It is rumored the Emperor wielded the famed sword Goldbrand, although this has never been officially confirmed by the Imperial government. Titus II led the assault from the north, personally capturing Lord Naarifin. The White-Gold Concordat didn't allow the leaving of Dominion forces in Cyrodiil, they had none left in Cyrodiil. Hammerfell wouldn't of been able to fight on if not for the Empire's complete defeat of the Aldmeri Dominion army within Cyrodiil. The Aldmeri Dominion still had the upper hand with another army, they fought on for another five years against the Redguards at a price, Southern Hammerfell was devastated and the war ended with a treaty between Hammerfell and the Dominion known as the Second Treaty of Stros M'kai in 4E 180 and the withdrawal of Aldmeri forces from Hammerfell.Д«ut the Redguards should not forget the great sacrifice of Imperial blood - Breton, Nord, and Cyrodilic - at the Battle of the Red Ring that weakened the Dominion enough to allow the eventual Second Treaty of Stros M'kai in 4E 180 and the withdrawal of Aldmeri forces from Hammerfell. The Legions were unfit for battle and needed time to regain their strength.

The Empire all agreed to the treaty with the exception of Hammerfell, the rest Empire wanted peace at almost any price. Their actions within the Dominion earned them lasting hatred from the Thalmor. The Blades were all but destroyed except for a few surviving members, the Blades weren't an arm of the Government and operated outside of Imperial policy, their role as protectors to the Emperor had been replaced by an Imperial organization after the Stormcrown Interregnum. The second Aldmeri Dominion army was already entrenched in Southern Hammerfell so the Empire agreed to let them have it, they weren't in a position to argue that one since the Dominion had already taken it over during the war. So they demanded money, disbandment of the blades, outlaw of Talos and large sections of Hammerfell, the Empire rejected and went into war.ДЄt the end of the war, the Aldmeri Dominion was weakened and the Empire couldn't continue war, so a peace treaty was struck. The long list of demands included staggering tributes, disbandment of the Blades, outlawing the worship of Talos, and ceding large sections of Hammerfell to the Dominion.

The terms were different, not exactly the same, the original was an ultimatum.
