It's true that Tullius may be using Toryggs death to manipulate Elisif, but then again does he really need to considering she saw it with her own eyes?

For me, I'm in support of the Empire for two main reasons. One being that I don't think the High King of anything should be as blatantly negligent as Ulfric is towards other races. Whether it's because he's too busy with the war, or just doesn't care, he could do a lot of good by giving a damn about the other races.

Torygg was not well known to be a fighter. Ulfric, as far as I know had been pretty well trained in combat by the time he challenged the king. It was not necessary for him to use thu'um, but he did anyway as a show of 'how much better he was'. That kind of attitude isn't fitting for a High King,  and it certainly didn't help him in the eyes of the Imperials who might have changed sides. If he wanted to get the point across that he was better, he should have beaten Torygg and been done with it. He would have had a lot more respect from me and probably the Nords had he not so blatanly murdered a young king that wasn't even pro-Thalmore.
