Dragonborn almost certainly has an army if you consider him being able to get the companions the college of winterhold the stormcloacks or the legion, the dark brotherhood, the thieves guild, and if he's thane of every hold possibly being able to talk them into lending hold guards into the war effort That is all assuming that your version of the Dragonborn did all of, or any of, that. I have more than one character I play (three), only one of which is in the College, two are in the Thieves Guild, one has killed off the Dark Brotherhood while one joined, two have picked opposing sides of the civil war while the third isn't even involved, two of them are in the Companions, one is Thane in all the holds while one is out wreaking chaos and general disorder amongst everywhere! Side quests and factions are not lore or cannon, they can only be used to further base stories along or future faction quests in the next game(s). We cannot assume that anything except the main quests from each game and any expansion matters in the grand scheme of the following storylines.
