They fight for what they believe in, they fight for freedom, and they fight for Talos, all admirable things. Honor them in life, as they will be honored in Sovngarde.

I don't agree with a lot of what Ulfric does, but I understand why he does it, and I would suggest you all do the same. He's not totally wrong, and (I feel) part of siding with the Empire, means you need to admit and accept that fact.

“A man is made by the quality of his enemies.” Saying the Stormcloaks are weak and stupid, when they've put up this much resistance is the exact same as saying the Empire is weak and stupid for not having stopped them yet. Lets bring this back to the real arguments. Hear, hear. We don't have enough evidence either way to claim that Ulfric is purely self-motivated and his entire army is composed of racists. In the same way, there isn't enough evidence to suggest that the Empire is a dictatorial power, who've always choked Skyrim desire for national self-determination. There is enough evidence for constructive debate on long term advantage.

So Ferris, Markarth for Riften?
