A lot of people seem to assume Hammerfell and an independent Skyrim would be friendly, but I don't think it'd be that simple. What did Skyrim do when Hammerfell was kicked out of the Empire and left alone to fight off the Dominion? Nothing. They just turned their head (metaphorically) and let it happen, like all the human provinces did.

I don't think Hammerfell's going to be buddy-buddy with any of the human provinces for a while. Not openly hostile, but probably not friendly. Betrayal like that stings.
