    The ancient Stormcloaks were probably in the army of King Ylgar, son of Ysgramor, during the war against the Snow Elves. The Stormcloaks then probably became one of the northen noble families of Eastmarch, and captains of the Windhelm army. I think they supported Tiber Septim during his conquest of the Ruby Throne and as a reward they were appointed as Jarls of Windhelm. Just a thought. Skyrim and Cyrodiil fought together for young Hjalti (later known as Emperor Tiber Septim)

    Great video, my dude! It’s obviously headcanon, but in a fan-made recounting of the Oblivion Crisis I’m working on with some guys from Reddit, the Stormcloak family comes to inherit the Jarlhood of Windhelm after the previous occupant and his son die in the act of closing an Oblivion Gate. Thane and Captain-of-the-Guards Wilhmek Stormcloak becomes a key figure in rebuilding the city and is eventually made Jarl by popular acclaim.

      The match was over after Ulfric shouted down Torygg, but then Ulfric murdered the defenseless Torygg with the sword as his way of declaring a war. The reason the Thalmor are in Skyrim to begin with goes back to the Markarth incident, where Ulfric condoned and encouraged war crimes.

    The greybreads made it clear that the Voice's least use was battle and more or less the Way of the Voice was founded in honor of the gods, not mortals! And yet Ulfric, despite knowing this full well, used an unfair advantage against his opponent and took advantage of his foe being disoriented to killed him! He pulled a very cowardly move in the most dishonorable way possible just to "prove" his own selfish point! Thus this is why MOST of the time I join the Imperial side, I hate Ulfric and his unbelievable racist ways! But I will respectfully say that he does have honor towards Nord traditions/beliefs and believe the Thalmor are in really good need of an ass whooping lol!
