why would forsworn religious freedom lead to anarchy? when has religious freedom ever led to that? didn't Markarth thrive under their rule?

i was definitely Ulfric who started the war after he was released from prison. the militia you mention existed to drive the forsworn from markarth. i do not believe there is any mention of them after that. ulfric was peaceful for a time after, seeing that he attended the moot that elected king Torygg, though he did want independence even back then. all hints point towards the war starting when he killed torygg.

you make a fair point about the state of the thalmor, i haven't thought of it that way. i might consider that on my future characters. The "Old Ways", unless I'm getting them confused somehow with something else.

Ulfric and his militia attempted to reinstate Talos worship in Markarth after taking it, and that p***ed the Dominion, which ordered the Empire to attack and arrest them. i don't understand what point you're trying to make about the old ways

an arrest is not an attack, and ulfric's arrest is not the start of the stormcloak rebellion. like i said, he was still peaceful back when Torygg was appointed. this was after the markarth incident.
