I'll say this for Ulfric -- he's a great speaker. I remember when I wandered into the Palace of the Kings and asked Ulfric why he was fighting. I thought he'd just give me the basic facts, but instead I got this fiery mini-speech:

''We're fighting because we're done bleeding for an Empire that won't bleed for us. Countless Nords fought and died in the Great War. And for what? Skyrim being sold to the Thalmor so the Emperor could keep his throne! We're fighting because our own Jarls, once strong, wise men, have become blind to their people's suffering! We're fighting because Skyrim needs heroes, and there's no-one left but us.''

Honestly, I'm vehemently opposed to Ulfric's cause, but you can't deny that he's passionate about it.
