(@kadilkhajiit the battle did take place in Shor's Stone. I just assumed that you moved soldiers from Windhelm to Shor's Stone, resulting in less soldiers at Wildhelm, resulting in it looking like a poorly defended city. I know the battle was @Shor's Stone, but there are less soldiers in Windhelm because of it.)

Nikulson took the Frelser to their new temporary headquarters: Yngol Barrow. Placed at the mouth of River Yngol, it was only a short boat ride up the river to Windhelm. The Skaal warriors made camp in the area surrounding Yngol Barrow, while Nikulson and his most trusted commanders met in the main hall of Yngol. They had cleared the Draugr threat beforehand, and threw the bodies into the sea. (Yngol himself was kept in place out of respect.) Nikulson wrote a letter to Jarl Etaret soon after.

Jarl Etaret of Wind-Helm,

  I send this message from the resting place of Yngol, son of Ysgramor.'' As I watch your great city, I see that you are not currently capable to accommodate my army in your city. I await the chance to meet with you, but for the time being, I will be at Barrow Yngol''. ''Send word by courier when you wish to meet. I await your reply.''

Tate Nikulson, King of Kaldtfrelser Hall

Tate sent the message by felsaad tern (a hawk-like bird native to Solstheim). It reached its destination in minutes. The bird flew over the walls of Windhelm, and flew right to a guard in front of the Palace of the Kings. The bird, who was called Raskfenn, dropped the rolled-up message right into the guard's hands. Before the guard even knew what had happened, Raskfenn was gone. The guard looked upon the parchment and saw, written in bright red: Jarl Etaret of Wind-Helm.
