Zelron, you are definitely correct in some aspects, however I think that thet Forsworn are not going about achieving their goals in the same way as the Stormcloaks.

Now, I know a lot of what the Stormcloaks have done is questionable, but turly their practices are far more innocent than that of the Forsworn. The Forsworn have murdered many innocent citizens and done a lot of evil and openly practice terrorism. Whereas, the Stormcloaks have got nowhere close. The only thing I can think of is where Ulfric executed all that did not aid him when he took back Markarth, and that has very little to do with the Stormcloaks, because that was before the rebellion.

When Ulfric takes Solitude in the Civil War quest, he does not kill any of the innocent. He even spares the Jarl, wife of his enemy and who had opposed him throughout, and gives her the oppurtunity to become the High Queen of Skyrim at the Moot.

The Forsworn however, launch terrorist attacks on the innocent citizens of the reach and adventurers passing through their land, regardless of race. If they want their land back, killing the innocent will not help. Take the fight to the militias in the Reach or siege the city. They have caused so much corruption in Markarth that it is sickening.

I would take up arms anyday against them. I would fight under Ulfric, and even Tulius or any Jarl in Skyrim to throw the Forsworn out. They lost their land long ago and it is about damn time to come to terms with that and stop corrupting the beauty of The Reach. They also cannot complain about an oppressive government, because half the problems and corruption in The Reach is their fault!
