First, I am going to side with the Stormcloaks.

I believe their cause is right, and just.

I see alot of you folks pretty mistaken about whats going on.

Yes, Ulfric did go to the Reach, and slaughter the Reachmen, only because, the exiled Jarl of Markarth, asked him too. The Reachmen took over Markarth, while the warriors of Skyrim, were in the Great War. All he asked for in return was to worship Talos again. Thalmor heard about it, and came to skyrim, to enforce the concordant. He was arrested after the Markarth incident, and thats when he had to deliver his father's eulogy from a cell.

The former High King Toryyg gave Solsteim to the Dark Elves, because Red Mountain blew up. Thats true, but what this crap about the Argonians, doing the Dark Elves wrong. The Dark Elves enslaved, both the Argonians, and the Khajiit. I think the deserve to have their asses handed to them by the races they enslaved.

Ulfric is not confining the Dark Elves to the Grey Quarter, or anywhere for that matter, if they don't like Windhelm, the they are free to move elsewhere, seems simple enough. As far as the empire being all holy, you forget, that TIber Septim, didn't unite Tamriel, he conquered it. Folks didn't have much choice in joining the Empire, either you did or you died. Remember in Oblivion, during the Dark Brotherhood quest involving the house in Skingrad. Remember the fact the Empire wanted to kill you, in the beginning of the game simply for crossing the border? They didn't care if you were on their hit list or not. The Empire doesn't give two craps about Skyrim, or any of the other provinces, they only care about the fact that when they go to war, the other provinces will send their men to fight in the Legion. Look at the way, the Empire handled Hammerfell, they just abandoned them to the Dominion. And as far as this new emperor goes, he's not a Septim, he's some Breton schmuck. He took power, after Martin Septim was killed in the Imperial City. The Imperial Legion at the time, was spread then, after the Oblivion Crisis, obviously Titus Meade was simply a opportunist.

It all comes down to the old saying, something a True Nord would say, "I would rather die on my feet, then live on my knees........

Victory or Sovengarde
