Windhelm (Skyrim)

Windhelm was once the capital of the First Empire, the palace of the Ysgramor dynasty still dominates the center of the Old City. It was sacked during the War of Succession, and again by the Akaviri army of Ada'Soon Dir-Kamal. The Palace of the Kings is one of the few First Empire buildings that remains. Today, Windhelm remains the only sizable city in the otherwise determinedly rural Hold of Eastmarch, and serves as a base for Imperial troops guarding the Dunmeth Pass into Morrowind.

Windhelm is one of the locations that will be appearing in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is said to feature a magnificent palace, likely the palace of the Ysgramor dynasty.

During the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Windhelm was being ruled over by Ulfric Stormcloak, who is helping to lead a rebellion against the Empire. Stormcloak believes that his people, the Nords, should be independent, and thus wishes that Skyrim was free to rule its own destiny.
