User blog comment:JoshofBlades/Why the Empire Should Prevail Over the Stormcloaks! (part 2)/@comment-76.186.9.97-20120104183022

Long live the Emperor, long live his Legions, long live the Empire.

1. Thalmor dossier in their embassy describes Ulfric as a dormant asset, meaning someone who has helped them in the past.

2. Although tolerance is not common anywhere in Tamriel, Stormcloaks take intolerance to a new level.

3. Ulfric is guilty of crimes against humanity, mass slaughter of civilians in Markarth and Karthwasten, I think was the other town (might be dawnstar).

4. Ulfric is guilty of regicide, of a king who was little more than a boy.

5. Ulfric's first target is Whiterun. Most people will be Thane of Whiterun before they are thane of anywhere else, Balgruuf was very helpful to the dragonborn and stabbing him in the back by invading his city and deposing him is really really scuzzy.

6. The Empire has every intention of dealing with the Thalmor in due time, as is revealed in a final conversation with General Tullius.
