User blog comment:Tholanar/If you were the High Queen or King of Skyrim..../@comment-5709731-20121221123719

I feel like posting on this as well. I'm basing this of my Argonian Bard-Warlord character Tal-Jin Dragonscale, because the other is a vampire lord and the third one is barely level 10 yet.

After finishing the main quest, killing Alduin and making the mistake of killing Paarthurnaxx (Akatosh rest what remains of his soul which I devoured), becoming the Harbinger of the Companions, and reuinting Skyrim with the Empire, I suppose Elisif would be assassinated or maybe not wanting to take on her late husbands responsibilities. General Tullius would convince me, his top Legate, to participate in the Moot, and by the grace of the Divines I would somehow be chosen as the first Argonian High King of Skyrim.

High King Dragonscale's first order of business would be to quell the last of the Stormcloak Rebellion. To truly do this and snuff out their bravery, I would do some dragonhunting with the blades and Odahviing, and after defeating the hunted dragons, offer them mercy in exchange for service. That would most likely suceed with quite a few of them, seeing as I am basically the new Alduin. After recruiting a sufficient number of dragons, I would reform the blades, recruiting more soldiers and make them my personal little army. Odahviing would be my top lieutenant and commander over the dragon forces, and the Dragonguard of ancient times would be reformed, with man, mer and dovah working together. At the thought of fighting dragons, most stormcloaks would quit their thoughts on rebellion. After reforming the dragonguard, I would lead them, and the Penitus Oculatus in a strike against the Dark Brotherhood, with hopes of wiping them out of Skyrim.

After the Dragonguards reestablishment and the quelling of the Dark Brotherhood, I would request the aid of the other jarls and my blades, to find evidence of Maven Black-Briars involvement with the Thieves Guilld, and wipe her off the Jarl's Throne. I would offer the duty of Jarl to Mjoll the Lioness, because she is a strong enemy of the Thieves Guild, and her judgment is wise. If she refused, Laila Law-giver could be set upon the throne, as long as she stays loyal to her King and the Empire. I would also try to halt the expansion of the Silver-blood economical empire, and make a peace-treaty with the king in rags. If it didn't work, I would send the Dragonguard and ask the Imperial Legion for aid, to wipe them out.

As Madanach is quite stubborn, I assume I'd be forced to slay him. The spoils from the war would go to the maintaining of the Dragonguard. The Jarls themselves should maintain their respective armies, and therefore, I have no need to worry about them. Then I would use the combined force of the empire, the holds and the dragonguard, to wipe the Thalmor out of Skyrim, and after that, go to war with the Thalmor in Cyrodiil and retake the Imperial City. Even with the aid of the dragons, it would of course not be easy. I think I would let the Companions join the fray as well, being their Harbinger. Of course, I cannot force them, but I assume they would like an opportunity to earn fame and glory. With all these combined forces, hopefully the Imperial City could be retaken, and the Thalmor sent on retreat. After that, I would of course continue to aid the Empire as best I could, and cause prosperity for Skyrim by trading with Cyrodiil. Of course, I would also build a grand temple to Talos, as an excuse to the Stormcloaks for killing their leader, and to show that the King cares for his people and their traditions.
