(Do you think it should be allowed to challenge an npc Jarl to become one yourself? Also, somehow I don't think there is a possibility of a non Nord Jarl in any era. As someone mentioned in some tread here, Skyrim is not Cyrodil. Only in Cyrodil, with such cosmopolitan population, there could have been a way for a Dunmer to become a Cout of Chendyhal, but in any other provinces, it is always the native race that holds local power. As far as Skyrim concerned, the only exception was Pelagius III the mad who was a Jarl of Solitude before becoming an Emperor and who was considered to be Imperial/ Nord/ Altmeri. Appearantly, technically, he would be considered more Altmeri, since that who his mother was. Perhaps one could work out something like that, that their grandfather indeed was a Jarl of Dawnstar, but he was Nord. It was his father, Nord who married a Bosmer woman. So even if the character is mixed like that, they display more of their mother's feautures and that is why people view them as such race. If I am not mistaken, that is how Elder Scrolls Lore goes as far as racial differences concerned. Still, I think it is pushing it a little too far, to say that your character won the challenge and became a Jarl of a given place. If that is possible, my Nord character have all the rights in the world to come up to Ulfric and challenge him for Jarlship over Windhelm.)
