User blog comment:Wolfishtail/The civil war, which side would a race not native from skyrim or have a ruleing body chose?/@comment-5357218-20120813183840/@comment-5357218-20120813185410

Good catch, I forgot about that....at that point, I guess it would be up to personal judgement. If events in-game are taken at face value, the Stormcloaks aren't opposed to taking on any race as long as they are willing to shed Imperial blood. You could still conceivably fight for the crumbling remains of the Empire, as I'm sure SOMEONE will come out to claim the throne. Up to the player, the way I see it...
