1. No, I judge people of other races purely on their motives, character and whoever they affiliate themselves with. If a High Elf wanted to join us, for example, I wouldn't be bothered, though it would be a little odd.

2. I am aware that he wants to be High King, but no one else is stepping up to the plate except Elisif, and all the Stormcloaks and some Legion supporters understand, or at least take the view, that she isn't strong enough to lead the country, independently or no. Ulfric's desire for the Throne is born out of necessity rather than greed (not to mention his strong claim to the Throne), as he realises Skyrim needs to call it's own shots in order to secure a safe and prosperous future, and is upset his country has been forced, perhaps unnecessarily, to give up it's true freedom, both in terms of religion and actual power of it's leaders and citizens. To quote Galmar Stone-Fist, Ulfric's right-hand man "Some say Ulfric desires to be High King and nothing less. Have they not seen his anger floats on a sea of tears?".

3. I am, yes, as I have explained in great detail on this blog further down the page(s). In short, Skyrim would have the advantage of home ground and all this brings (adverse weather for the AD that Nords are adapted to, shorter supply lines, more supplies, quicker reinforcement and perhaps even larger reinforcement of troops, superior knowledge of geography et cetera), not to mention the varied weapons and combat style of the Stormcloaks, as well as armour like Steel Plate, which would give the Nords a strong chance to beat the AD, assuming they do invade at some point if Ulfric were to take the Throne.

Peace y'all.
