User blog:Wizard Zaadock/The Man Who Cried Wolf/Season Unending

I am trying to purchase the house in Solitude, but for some reason Steward Firebeard will not give me the quest I need to get to that point. I recently joined the Stormcloaks and got bored of it so I never finished, could that effect my other quest? Also, I am trying to go through the main storyline, I am at the part titled Season Unending, but I cannot get Ulfric to go to High Hrothgar like I'm suppose to. Any suggestions on either of these problems?
