He doesn't know anything about Skyrim or the Civil War or anything (mostly because the player doesn't either). If he was a Nord, he should know these things to some extent. I mean the Civil War is a recent event, so if he was gone for some reason that makes sense that he wouldn't necessarily know about it, but "what can you tell me about Whiterun?" Seriously?

It could be he was a Nord born in another province and is just then returning to his ancestor's homeland. Just because he's a Nord doesn't mean he was born and raised in Skyrim.

Example, I'm German ethnically but I was born in Canada, but I know next to nothing about Germany.
