Imperial Siding With Stormcloaks

While comparatively simple compared to the faction alignment systems of previous elder scrolls games choosing a side to take up arms for in skyrim s civil war can still.

Imperial siding with stormcloaks.

But the king signed a peace treaty with their enemies to prevent war but also agreed to ban the worship of the nord s god talos. Stormcloaks have as opposed to imperials female guards. You re using oaths given by those serving in armies imperial stormcloak alike to prove a fallacy. The imperials have been in skyrim for centuries.

If ulfric had done the same as the high king and other jarls and just worshipped talos without making a fuss there would be no thalmor in skyrim. You see my character was a thief. I think markarth is under threat because of the dodgey allegiance between the stormcloaks and the imperials there. The imperial legion see the stormcloaks as traitors for wishing to secede from the empire and ulfric s killing of high king torygg.

Most groups were more motivated by the desire to stop the thalmor but liberal imperials were ever so slightly more motivated into siding with the empire because of the racism of the stormcloaks. Ulfric s actions are to blame for at least one of the reasons he gives for the rebellion so the con for siding with the stormcloaks is that it aids the thalmor. You can get that revenge that you ve always wanted for them trying to behead you. Also playing as a stormcloak does one thing for you.

Balgruuf the greater isn t being bullied by the legion into following the empire. I simply joined the stormcloaks because of a simple reason. So to have more fun and see more skin i joined the stormcloaks. Conservative imperials were the least sensitive to racism and the most likely to be interested in keeping the empire together to defeat the thalmor.

This includes the outlawing of talos worship. The forsworn invasions over the reach are due to the stormcloaks trying to take political hold over markarth without the citizens knowing about it. However the imperials and by proxy those in skyrim who are going along with the empire mostly because they want to keep their cushy lives and big houses have basically agreed to the practice even though in almost every elder scrolls game the pc has been tasked with fighting against the evils of slavery. Markarth while officially owned by the imperials is in turmoil from corruption.

In all seriousness when you choose stormcloak many things. The imperials who have dominance over tamriel believe that as a province of the empire skyrim should abide by its laws and customs.
