So could Talos be real or fake depending on which faction you choose? You're using some random NPC Stormcloak as your authority/source?

Okay, I'll play along. Since the blessing of Talos confers a shortage on the cooldown for dragon shouts, I think his blessing was wasted on the Stormcloaks. Maybe it helped Ulfric kill the High King but he sure didn't seem to shout much after that. In fact, I question the existance of Ulfric's Thu'um. If he really could shout wouldn't he have busted that out when the Imperials were storming the gates of Windhelm?
