@Draevan13, Are you sure? All the dialogue that I ran into in Markarth says that the empire was too busy elsewhere to afford the troops, so Ulfric and his militia acted in their stead. In fact, The Empire had let the more remote outposts fall because they DIDN'T have the force to keep them. I was also lead to believe that the agreement was made before the attack to take back the city. I thought that it was a deal, not a reward.
