good points but some things are wrong with your statement.

Ulfric is not motivated by power, only extrememly nationalistic and wary of foreign powers because of what he went through with the great war and his interogation by elenwen herself. his actions are wrong but what would be seen as a vital measure to watch other races, not hold them until he can eradicate them later on.

Also, what empire? black marsh, summerset isles (alinor), AND hammerfell seceded from the empire. Morrowind was taken over by the argonians so they are out of the equation as well and elesweyer is now a client state, along with valenwood, to the aldmeri dominion. SO if skyrim were to go back the empire, weakened as it is, it would only have high rock and a politically crazy and tumoltous cyrodiil.

ULFRIC CHALLENGED TORYGG TO A DUEL, as my fellow knowledgeable elder scrolls fan said below me. torygg accepted upholding the ancient nord rights. besides, torygg was against the empire but ulfric got impatient as the empire's shadow was looming larger and larger over skyrim.

they both have huge flaws but this is really how it is. thank you
