College Mage: Ferris wrote: It's well known Ulfric only trusts Nords, and lika I said before their battle cry is "Skyrim is for the Nords!" can you really imagine a Khajit yelling that? When Ulfric speaks about who is the "true" son/daughter of skyrim it's implied he means Nords, but even if that isnt his intent, he could have easily said something totally different to convey a better message of patriotism that doesnt come off xenophobic. Um, and how is it well-known that Ulfric only trusts Nord? Just because one Nord said so? The whole "Skyrim belongs to the Nords!" is inherent to a specific voice type, not the faction itself. Meaning that non-Stormcloak Nords will shout the same line, along with "Your kind has no place here!" and some race specific lines like ''"You should have stayed in your precious forests, elf!" and "You'll make a fine rug, cat!" ''What is even funnier is that Brunwulf, who is against racism and supports tolerance, shouts these very same lines in combat, due to his voice type.





Also, Ulfric mentions many times about trying to negotiate an alliance with the Bretons of High Rock. Obviously Ulfric can’t be all that xenopohobic. Not to mention if he doesn’t trust non-Nords, why is he allowing such a big contingent of non-Nords to live in his city(aside from just the Dunmer and Argonians) in the first place?

I agree with you, Ulfric might not have a very favorable outlook on non-Nords, but I would say he is tolerant enough to allow outlanders to live peacefully and prosperous in their city. Even if the Dunmer and Argonians gets bullied from time to time by a few short-sighted Nords, they aren’t violently persecuted either and mostly left alone.
