- "I fight for the men I've held in my arms, dying on foreign soil. I fight for their wives and children, who's names I heard whispered in their last breaths. I fight for we few who did come home, only to find our country full of strangers wearing familiar faces. I fight for my people impoverished to pay the debts of an Empire too weak to rule them, yet brands them criminals for wanting to rule themselves! I fight so that all the fighting I've already done hasn't been for nothing. I fight... because I must." ―Ulfric Stormcloak
This is the reason why I will always join the stormcloaks. General Tullius and the imperials sucks.
"I'll die before elves dictate the fates of men, are we not one in this?"
epicness ensues.
I may hate the Stormcloaks, but I am a fan of Ulfric’s voice-actor, Mr. Vladimir Kulich. Awesome actor.
@@kylehearnsberger9883 Dont know why you would hate the stormcloaks or the imperials. Tribalism maybe? Both sides have great arguments, and whoever wrote the civil war quest should be given an immense pay raise.

*"But the day when words are enough, will be the day when soldiers like us are no longer needed"*
*"I would gladly retire from the world...where such a day to dawn..."*
I love this fucking game and Ulfric, the true High King
That verse gets me teary eyed!!
That right there is why I joined the Stormcloaks
That basturdboy
Thank you, we already heard these lines in the video, so your quotes are useless.
Immigrants in UE
Empire: *signs the White Gold Concordat*
Ulfric: “This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever.”
"I fight for we few who did come home." Gets me every time.
His whole speech is the epitome of a Warrior King.
"Only to find our homes full of stangers wearing familiar faces"
That always gets me :D

Uflric : 👀 By -Azura's Tits- I mean Ysmir's Beard.
His voice
Its golden
a warrior with the voice and mind of a philosopher.....yeah hes so going to be high king
***** His real competition is General Tullius, though, at the beginning of the game. Should Tullius crush the Stormcloak rebellion (which he very nearly did), the people of Skyrim would have simply accepted whatever puppet king the Empire and the Thalmor put on the throne.
I believe that Ulfric storm cloak is the real high king I believe in his vision. Think about what he's been through all his time as a soldier a lot have died for there homeland in front of him. Hail king Ulfric.
The only man alive in skyrim who had the backbone to stand against the empire after their signed away their freedom to the long eared trash. And yet he gets called a traitor for that, if betrayal means fighting for your own principles, for your people and against a corrupted dying empire then I'd be traitor as well
@@axb3542 This why I feel like people who sided with the Empire never saw it from the Stromclocks side cause all they could say is Stromclocks are racist when actually basically every Nord is racist and Ulfric is probably the least racist, plus I feel like Ulfric winning will be the canon ending to the war cause it makes the situation more interesting than if the empire won
@@axb3542 here here if the empire signed the so called peace treaty then they are too weak to fight against the thalmor and are the real traitors.
When he said “I would gladly retire from the world, were such a day to dawn...” I truly felt those words in my very soul, I would follow that man anywhere, just as galmar and the rest of the stormcloaks would. For Skyrim, for Tamriel, FOR ULFRIC!!
True the man is a genuine hero no matter what his detractors say
Likewise. That was the moment I picked my side.

Fun fact : Vladimir Kulich ( Ulfric stormcloak ) is in season1 of the Vikings.
" This is their god ....." He says whilst reading a church
"I would gladly retire from the world, were such a day to dawn."
Great line.
Does Ulfric Stormcloak remind anyone else of Thorin Oakenshield? Like a lot?
YES!!
Yes definitely
The True Correct Guy YEP
The True Correct Guy Yep
The True Correct Guy who?
Ulfric is High King by right. Now before I continue, let me just say - I am not alleging myself with either particular side of the civil war. I'm just stating facts. Facts that you can't ignore regardless of your personal opinion of Ulfric or the Stormcloaks.
So let's begin; In the ancient times, Nordic custom was that one man can challenge another to an honorable duel. If both men agreed, they can meet up and fight. The first to give up or die was declared the loser, and the winner was given whatever they were dueling over.
"But Ulfric walked in and killed him"
This is completely false. In game dialogue does prove that Ulfric challenged Torygg to an honorable duel, which Torygg accepted.
"Torygg had to accept, he didn't have a choice"
Yes he did. As any man has the right to challenge someone to an honorable due, any man also had the right to refuse a challenge,
"Torygg would of looked like a coward if he rejected"
Doesn't matter, he still accepted. He just put his pride over his life.
"Using the thu'um was cheating"
This is bullshit. At the time these customs took effect, using the thu'um was not only allowed, it was praised. Even a basic shout like 'Fus Ro Dah', takes years of meditation and dedication to be able to perform. Using the thu'um was just using what you know, and it served as a testament to your dedication and strength.
"Torygg didn't know Ulfric had the thu'um"
Complete fabrication. Not only is it common knowledge that Unfric studied with the greybeards. Ulfric is a well known war hero. And it's well known he used the thu'um in the war. If Torygg didn't know, that's his fault.
"The Empire does not recognize this law"
There are no records of the Empire changing this law. I could understand why they wouldn't give Ulfric the throne, but charging him with murder while they watched Ulfric duel and kill Torygg is just ridiculous.
"This custom affects the smallest things, and no the throne"
False. Jorunn the Skald-Kind challenged his brother to the throne, and got it when he won the duel.
Now:
"The rebellion is stupid, because it divided the Empire, and Skyrim will fall to the Thalmor. With the Empire in control, they have a chance to resume war with the Thalmor. Not to mention Ulfric is a racist"
I'm getting tired of healing this. But especially the "Ulfric's a racist" thing.
First of all, just to get it out of the way, I'm pretty sure true Nords would rather go down fighting the Thalmor than living under their rule.
Second, "they have a chance to resume the war." The war shouldn't have stopped in the first place. The Empire was winning, and they just surrendered.
*Joanna's battered legions. In the end, the main Aldmeri army in Cyrodiil was completely destroyed, The Emperor's decision to withdraw from the Imperial City 4e 174 was bloodily vindicated.*
So even if the Stormcloaks were to lose, it's more than the Empire would do.
"But Tullius said they are going to fight the Dominion?"
Well, Tullius doesn't run the entire Empire, does he?
Now onto the racism. Ulfric and the Stormcloaks are not racist. That's a very big accusation. If you think Ulfric and the Stormcloaks are racist, you have not been paying attention. You need to open up your mind on this a bit. There are only two real racists in Windhelm, Rolff and Angrenor, who were first seen bullying a Dunmer woman when you first enter the city. Other than them, what makes Stormcloaks any more racist than anyone else? And seeing people immediately changing factions just because of these two fuckers makes me cringe. So I really need to get this off my mind.
First of all, if Ulfric truly was a racist, then why would he let Altmer and Imperials live nice lives within his city and lands? If he really was racist, you would think he would be treating the Altmer (Race of which the Aldmeri Dominion is centered around and consists mainly of) and the Imperials (Race of which the Imperial Legion is centered around and consists mainly of) worse than the Dunmer and Argonians. But there are Altmer and Imperials living wonderful lives within his city (For example: Niranye and Viola). This is because, unlike the Dunmer in the Grey Quarter, they actually contribute (I'll touch on that as this goes on).
Speaking of the Dunmer, many Imperials also like to use them being in the Grey Quarter to further their argument. But have you not noticed Belyn Hlaalu? He's a Dunmer who lives a nice life on a nice farm on Ulfric's land. If he wanted to, Ulfric could take that farm from Belyn with a snap of his fingers. Belyn contributes to the Stormcloak cause in Windhelm. This is proved when he says "The only way to win the Nord's respect is through hard work." Indicating that he is working for the Nords who occupy Windhelm, aka the Stormcloaks. He also says "Too many Dunmer complain about the way we're treated. What good does complaining do?" I agree. I don't see those Dunmer in the Grey Quarter doing anything to help out, if they did, they would be living a life similar to that of Mr. Hlaalu. He helps out the Stormcloaks, so he gets to live a nice life. Have you also considered that Ulfric is a bit busy with a war and then preparing for a bigger war to spend a large amount of money on renovating a quarter of a city filled with people who don't even contribute?
Now moving onto the Argonians.
You also see people condemn Ulfric for keeping the Argonians out of Windhelm. But last time I checked, Brunwulf Free-Winter (Whom becomes Jarl should the Legion win) also keeps them out and his reasoning is that "they must remain outside for their own safety". Have you not considered that maybe that's why Ulfric keeps them out? It appears not. Nothing changes for the Argonians when the Imperials take over. Does that make the Imperials racist as well?
Ulfric respects anyone who supports the Stormcloak cause, regardless of race. Also, let's not forget the fact that Nords are a naturally proud race, but that doesn't make them racist.
And finally, to the people who read the Thalmor dossier on Ulfric Stormcloak and immediately assume he's a spy.
So many people read that and don't understand what it is saying. They call him an asset because his actions are inadvertently helping the Thalmor. They captured him and tortured him for info during the last war. Then they let him escape so that he could stir up trouble with his unrest over the Talos ban. Does no one read the "uncooperative" part? It means he's not trying to help them. His actions just happen to benefit the Thalmor since a civil war gives them time to gain strength and take over at a later date. But if the Stormcloaks win it will still be bad for the Thalmor. The dossier says as much.
People who say Ulfric is a spy really don't understand the context of that report.
I hope this helped to enlighten whoever read it at least a little.
Emilija Einoryte Preach it brother!!!!!
Emilija Einoryte I STRONGLY agree with you about this and if the nords let the argonians in they will have fights with the dumer
Emilija Einoryte To see the true side of the Stormcloaks takes wisdom! Bravo!
Emilija Einoryte All true, you seem to know some mad shit!! And I thought I was educated in TES Lore...! xD
Anyway its also very interesting when you, as an Imperial, go to Ulfric to deliver the axe of Whiterun and he instead of killing you, gives you a straight answer, "complements" you and lets you walk out. Whereas he could just kill you and move on with the attack.
Juniper Berry But, that's the past, they are not present day traditions therefore they can't be used as solid facts, by present day Skyrim traditions, Elisif has a better claim to the throne than Ulfric, though Ulfric has a claim by conquest.
I think we can all agree that both Ulfric and Elisif are worthless when compared to the one true High King, the Dovahkiin.
Ulfric and Galmar have some of the greatest and most insightful quotes in the entire game. I could listen to them talk for hours. Ulfric really reminds me of Thorin Oakenshield from The Hobbit with his demeanor and the way he speaks.
Am I the only that thinks Ulfric has a sexy ass voice?
the hundreds of FDB/Ulfric fanfic agree.
+Matt Allen The lack of MDB/Ulfric fics dissapoints me.

"Skyrim knows no king but the King in the North, whose name is Ulfric Stormcloak!"
THE KING IN THE NORTH
THE KING IN THE NORTH!!!
THE KING IN THE NORTH
THE KING IN THE NORTH!!!!
IF anyone has played dragonborn for skyrim, they would know why the argonians aren't let inside of Windhelm. Its because i think the dunmer enslaved the argonians and if they were together they would cause problems in the city so now do you see?
Exactly. He doesn't do it to be racist, he does it so that the Saxhleel and Dunmer don't all kill each other. I play an Argonian, and they're my favorite race, but I love Ulfric, really, because I know his intentions. I don't just see the lies, like everyone else does.
Spikem59 Here is simple, concrete, in-game evidence that the "Stormcloaks are racist" argument is total bullshit; *a high elf merchant runs a successful business and lives in the rich part of Windhelm*. She is not discriminated against by Ulfric, nor is the player if they don't play a Nord. There are 2 reasons the Dunmer live in a slum and are hated by many of the Nords in Windhelm, and neither of them have anything to do with racism:
A) they're refugees, meaning they take up valuable resources during a time of war
B) they refuse to fight in the rebellion.
I mean, it's not hard to understand why a Stormcloak supporter would resent the Dunmer of Windhelm; Ulfric diverts resources that could've gone towards the war effort to provide the Dunmer refugees with shelter and protection, while the Dunmer claim that this isn't their war to fight and complain that Ulfric isn't doing enough for them.
They want all of the privileges that come with being a first-class citizen without any of the responsibilities.
augginator123 Exactly! The Dunmer are used to every other race sucking up to them, and getting it the easy way like they did in Morrowind. But that can't be done in a city where they're fighting a war, without the support of a rich empire! A citizen earns their keep in a place like that, and the Dunmer are too lazy to do that. And so, they call Ulfric "racist" because he won't hand them first-class citizenship living conditions for free.
I WOULD say just move the Dunmer to the docks, and Argonians to the city, but we all know how that would go. The Dunmer wouldn't accept that, and there'd be a revolt. The Saxhleel at least accept the docks and won't refuse dock work, so they're best placed there.
i know this is 3 years old but agreed i earn my place in windhelm my dunmer kin have no reason to complain and i join the stomcloak because they offer religious freedom and my wife is a nord soo yea
+auginator123
That's not the only example:
-EVERY altmer is successful and well-respected in Windhelm. A wealthy goods merchant, a wealthy stablemaster, and a wealthy (and legendary) alchemist are all well-beloved citizens of Windhelm
-There's also ONE dunmer whose successful, and he roasts the rest of his own kind by mocking "While my brothers harp on about "injustices", i work to put food on the table". He's the ONLY dunmer who integrated like the altmer and he's so successful that he hires Nords to work his farm.
-the Argonians not only have racial rivalry with the dunmer, but most of them also cause trouble. They brag about stealing cargo, yet complain about the Shatter Shields not paying them enough. Jeez, i wonder why they don't pay the cargo-stealing troublemakers much. Sha'vee doesn't deserve to live with those hypocrites and skooma addicts.
Plus, this is Elder Scrolls. Everyone is racist to everyone. In fact, the Nords so far have the most tolerant depiction of any Elder Scrolls location game, making them ironically the least racist people by far. Hell, the freaking Dragonborn DLC has the entire dunmer populace of Solsteim be racist assholes until their asses get saved multiple times.
I stand with Ulfric Stormcloak!
I call you friend.
A Titan's Game My friend
+Franklin Stormcloak Friend!
Hello fellow Stormcloak bro!
For Skyrim!
Poetic. Epic, and poetic! For the Stormcloaks!
First time I played Skyrim I felt so overwhelmed, debating if I would ever get a grip on the vast world now at my fingertips. Then Hadvar and Ralof asked me to pick a side in the war and I was like "Christ, how can I make that decision!?"
Then I go to Windhelm and hear Ulfric say why he fights. Imperial soldiers were happy to arrest and execute me for literally no reason and then here's this man, imperfect, yes but with a cause and a passion. It's beyond me how anyone joins the Legion.
people who join the legion ether only played skyrim or oblivion and did not see how far the empire has fallen i my self am like ulfric once served in the legion but not any more i only fight for skyrim and what left of morrowind
the only reason to join the imperials is cause the empire is the only one with any hope of stopping the high elves. if you think the nords or the imperials are racist, wait until you live under the rule of the aldmeri dominion. some say they even kill their own babies if they're not genetically good enough.
not only that, there's also speculation that the aldmeri dominion wants to UNMAKE ALL of reality itself. that would mean killing every single person in the world. so it's kind of a big deal.
a united empire could stop the dominion, a united skyrim alone could not. skyrim might be able to hold out against the dominion for a while, maybe even decades due to the rugged terrain of skyrim. but time isn't even an issue for the high elves--they live a few hundred years on average, some of them even thousands of years. ulfric will be dead within 50 years, at the absolute most.
the high elves WILL crush skyrim eventually. the nords are just nowhere near as powerful as they were in the merethic and first era, when they were the top dogs. back then they had thousands of troops with thu'um better than ulfric running around, and many chieftans who were almost as strong as the dragonborn himself with the voice. some of them even WERE dragonborns!
which would make them capable of being as strong as your character. i don't know about you, but my character is so strong he could probably kill thousands of NPCs singlehandedly if i played my cards right. and think about it, alduin destroyed an entire town full of imperial soldiers singlehandedly. you beat alduin in a 1v1, which means the dragonborn is canonically capable of doing the same kind of destruction.
Cough cough thalmor cough
@imjowsef "My lords. My lords! Here is what I say to the Emperor!" *spits on the ground* "Titus Mede is nothing to me! Why should he rule over me and mine from some flowery seat in the south!? What do they know of winter or the Draugr? They don't even worship Talos! Why shouldn't we rule ourselves again? It was the Septims we bowed to, and the Septims are dead!" *Draws sword and points at Ulfric* "There sits the only king I mean to bend my knee to-- The King in the North!
Alex The Exterminator HOLY SHIT AMAZING
+Alex the Extermination Some kind of terrorist propaganda? The worship of Talos was not banned in Skyrim until Ulfric allowed the public worship and shouted to everyone about it. Nords can't even rule themselves properly, seriously, plebians as soldiers? Ulfric is not a leader, a pretender like he is, he speak of glory and dignity but he surrendered when he was ambushed him.
*The worship of Talos was banned when the White-Gold Concordat was signed and the Jarls were paid to enforce the new "laws" that the Aldmeri Dominion has instated over the Empire.*
Banned but wasn't enforced, the chest of gold was meant for them to accept the terms of the treaty; bribery.
*The Empire was founded by Tiber Septim yet Titus Mede bent over and surrendered the history and religion cherished most by the very people they would then go to and open the gates of oppression to.*
Are you an idiot? The Empire never did that, they signed a treaty... *TREATY*, even Ulfric was obedient after the treaty was signed, and no one gives a fuck about the banning of Talos or enforced until Ulfric gave the Thalmor a valid reason to enforce the laws the Empire has not.
*Thalmor openly roam Skyrim, taking Nords prisoners to be carted north to their embassy and tortured/executed for holding onto their religious belief while the Empire sits there shaking like a leaf under the whip of the Dominion, while acting like they own the Nords of Skyrim, and almost seem shocked that they don't very much like the idea of being ruled by the Elves because of a war that they didn't lose. "The Dominion may have defeated the Empire, but it has not defeated Skyrim!" -Ulfric Stormcloak.*
Markarth Incident - The Empire, despite they were uncooperative with the terms of the WGC once, cannot do anything to the Thalmor because their agenda is based on the WGC. Plus the "Empire" wasn't defeated, again, they signed a *TREATY* with the Dominion.
*Hammerfell is in a strong rebellion against the Dominion as well- and has ties to Skyrim.*
Their belief and agenda are in a complete difference. The Redguards only fought the Dominion in a standstill, meaning the Dominion was the aggressors. In the end, the Redguards never defeated the Dominion, and vice versa.
Back to their beliefs and difference. The Redguards believe that the Dominion could have been destroyed in Hammerfell if the combined force of the Imperial Legion and Redguards still exists, not to mention General Decanius's force weakened the Dominion's troops in Hammerfell before they depart for the Battle of the Red Wing. Difference? Despite there were still Imperials in Hammerfell, the Redguards did not attack them, instead, defend their territories against the Dominion. And they more likely fought along side with the Empire in the next great war, but I did not say "join the Empire again".
*Morrowind, though distasteful towards Nords owe them a great debt after the disaster of Red Mountain- and how the Nords opened Skyrim up for them to enter.*
That was Torygg's father's decision, Ulfric killed his son in return. Solstheim, being part of Skyrim's territory, was an Imperial colony to begin with, in there, at least there were no Nords to harass them.
*Lets not forget that it was due to their hatred for the Nords that they segregated themselves to the Grey quarter after denying homage in the sky district, and it is to avoid social war that the Argonians are kept outside and away from the dunmer.*
This is false if we have a Riften were every race get along with each other.
*Either way, if the Stormcloaks take Skyrim, it is likely that they can form alliance with Hammerfell and possibly Morrowind, and clash with the Dominion successfully.*
Nope, alliance will more likely be the Empire and the Redguards, even though the Redguards hate the Imperials (Note: Before the Empire removed Hammerfell as their territory, Redguard legionnaires were sent home so that they could fight for their people and there were still Imperials in Hammerfell).
What can the Stormcloaks provide for Hammerfell? Redguards are naturally talented warriors, Stormcloaks are peasants and farmers fighting for their homeland which in truth, declaring war with the Empire. Skyrim's food resource would be reduced if the Stormcloaks won, the ECC will never dock shipments and trade with Skyrim, one Argonian even said that the ECC won't dock ships in Windhelm anymore. Of course I have a point, the Nords will ask for food in Hammerfell. And the neighboring provinces will possibly not trade with Skyrim, for a reason.
-High Rock sees Nords as barbarians and improper, and is a part of the Empire.
-Morrowind's resource is utterly destroyed due to the corruption of the Red mountain
-Solstheim doesn't contribute anything
-Hammerfell, Nords invaded Hammerfell and controlled one or two of their cities.
*If the Empire takes Skyrim, then the Dominion has a convenient pincer attack position to take Hammerfell and before you know it they'll basically be the world power, having felled the Empire and having watched the straggling Imperials cut the heart out of the most likely defense against the Dominion's tyranny.*
Dominion = Army, Thalmor = Agents
And again! they signed a treaty; Treaty of Stros M'kai.
And again! the Dominion signed a treaty with the Empire, not "conquer it", if they did, we wouldn't be having Imperial Legion in Skyrim, since their goals is the destruction of mankind and Lorkhan.
*Ulfric isn't the terrorist racist pretender usurper weakling that Imperial loyalists tend to blindly paint him as.*
Oh yes he is. He, instead of killing the Thalmor agents, who he brought to Skyrim, ignored them. He could have attack the Thalmor directly, still a bad decision, why?
The WGC treaty will be broken, the Redguards will betray the TSM, punch the person when he punched the other. From the beginning, it was Empire vs Dominion, if another great war broke out. It will be Empire vs Stormcloaks vs Redguards vs Dominion, difference is, is that the human factions won't be able to help each other due to different agenda and propaganda.
*He's a Nord, fighting for his homeland and what he believes to be a cause that can lead not only to the freedom of Skyrim but an edge against the Dominion.*
He wasn't fighting for his homeland. He fights for power, who's an idiot who plans to invade Alinor without power.
"Banned but wasn't enforced"
It was enforced. What do you think all of the Justiciar where there for? Sight seeing?
" fuck about the banning of Talos or enforced until Ulfric gave the Thalmor a valid reason to enforce the laws the Empire has not."
Again this is fundamentally false. The Thalmor always had a reason to enforce it and they did enforce it. They murdered, i'm sorry "disappeared" anyone they caught worshiping Talos. Their reasons for doing so, is they see the creation of Nirn and mortality as a great mistake. And see the removal of Talos as a important step in ending the world, and thus returning to Aetherius. They didn't ban Talos worship on a whim, they take it vary seriously.
"Skyrim's food resource would be reduced if the Stormcloaks won, the ECC will never dock shipments and trade with Skyrim"
Have you paid attention to any of the dialog renegading the east empire company? They trade with everyone, and I do mean everyone. They didn't shut down their shiping to windhelm for any ideological reason. They did it because Pirates where interrupting their trade, and reopened when the pirates where taken care of (there is a quest for that). The emporors own cousin trades with the empires worse enamy, that is who little fucks the EPC gives about who they trade with. They idea that Skyrim will miss out on trade of the Stormcloaks win is false. There really is no downside to succeeding from the empire.
"Oh yes he is. He, instead of killing the Thalmor agents, who he brought to Skyrim, ignored them. "
He didn't bring them to Skyrim, the empire brought them to Skyrim. There is a reason Thalmor agents are disabled once Stormcloaks take a city (such as Markarth). They kick them out.
People greatly overestimate the threat of the threat of Aldmeri Dominion. Sines the return of Ysgramor the elves have been steadily losing territory. Contrary to popular belief almost all humans in Tamriel are descended from Ysgramor's 500 not just Nords. Humans have a fundamental advantage, they bread at many times the speed of the eleven races. The Dominion can't replace the men the lost at war, it will take them over a century to replenish the men the lost when their army was destroyed at the end of the great war. They are fighting a war against time, and against history. Humans have lost many wars, and many battles, but in the end they always recovered. When elves suffer a defeat, they is a good chance they will never recover. Which is why their are so many extinct eleven races, and why Humans have gained so much territory. They are fighting a losing battle.
Alderman Xalvador //Kings Council// #Caeronvar Ulfric surrendered during the Imperial Ambush because he knew that they were cornered and didn't want his men to die for nothing. He thought that he would be brought to Cyrodil for a fair trial but that asshole Tullius brought him to Helgen for a summary execution instead. Ulfric didn't surrender out if cowardice, he surrendered because he wanted to save the lives of his men.
Hail Ulfric the true high king
Not just the true high king, but the true emperor of Tamriel.
BNSF1995 I destroyed ulfric

DEATH TO THE EMPIRE
We need people like him in the
real world..
so true
We need racist people in this world? We need people who leave other races out of their cities? People like Ulfric need to be gone from this world!
again,another imperial supporter
i forgot you're M'aiq the liar
Ulfric keeps the Argonians out to prevent a war between the Dunmer and the Argonians,they really hate each other.
and Ulfric accepts an High elf in the rich quarter of the city,
unecessary to be indipendent from another nation now bringing more harm than good?
remember that for the Nords Talos is vital and being in nation that bans the worship of Talos is an insult
he hates the empire because it works with the elves,giving them the right to do whatever they want,even dragging away his people from their homes,he can't stand that
he's not a bloodthirsty savage and doesn't want to destroy Skyrim,quite the contrary,his project is to rebuild Skyrim back to her glory,he's very patriotic and cares about the land
he's not racist for talos sake
he lets other races inside his own city,the argonians live in the docks and prevent them from fightning the dunmer,they can't stand each other,if he would be racist,the dark elves wouldn't even be in the city
the only two that are racist is rilf stone fist and the beggar war veteran
Ulfric gives the dark elves shelter and food,but they don't want to fight or help the city in anyway,but they pretend to be treated like first class citizens
the nords are suspicious of outsiders that don't work hard
The Khajiit are not allowed in whiterun as well,so by that logic is Jarl Bargruulf racist?
he doesn't like to fight,listen to his quote
Galmar Stone-Fist:when the day words are enough it will be the day that soldiers like us will no longer be needed'
Ulfric:I would gladly retire from the world. Were such a day to dawn
Galmar:Aye,but in the meantime,we have a war to plan
i would be so happy for my country to be indipendent (not secluded) from the 'alliance' that is in now,forcing it to do whatever they want
don't believe to imperial propaganda,they are spreading lies
why he should care about the guys wanting to support the empire and their censorship?
they're just a thorn in Skyrim's side that will get Skyrim worse and easier for the thalmor to conquer
like the Battleborns
they helped and cooperated with the Thalmor into getting Thorald Gray-mane prisoner of the thalmor,if that information was made public,the jarl will have to expel the battleborns from Whiterun
i would send them to the chopping block for treason against Skyrim and her people
the neutrals wouldn't care about Ulfric being high king,but not really bothered with it
many nords are in the legion,yes,but
1)because their father.grandfather were legionnaries,but in their heart know that Skyrim is their home and should fight for it
2)because they worship talos and hope that becoming a legionnare would make them harder to suspect
Ulfric was a legionnare,Thongvor Silver-blood was legionnare,Vignar Gray-mane was a legionnare,Galmar Stone-Fist was a legionnare and were proud to be part of it,until the emperor decided to cooperate with the same guys destroying it,outlawing Talos
Once the CIvil war is over in favour of the Stormcloaks,Skyrim will be indipendent from the empire,allowing to do things that before they couldn't do,such as rebuild Skyrim,declare Talos worship legal again
and plan the war against the Thalmor
the people wants for Skyrim to be indipendent,many want this,The Riverwood blacksmith is presuming that Ulfric just wants to be High King
half of Skyrim agrees with him at the start of the game,and he has many supporters in the other empire-controlled holds,even some of the imperial jarls sympathize with his cause
he's considered from many nords the example of 'true Nord'
putting Maven Black-briar as jarl is a reason enough to dislike the empire
isn't what the empire is doing selfish as well?
oppressing the people with the Talos ban,Thalmor free of interrogate everyone
taking away their freedom because some goddamned emperor decided so.
i loved the scene of the markarth city stormcloak mission with the thalmor agent
Galmar:Not so fast elf
Ondolemar:i guess that you're talking to me?
Galmar:On your knees elf
Ondolemar:Enjoys this while you can,soon all of you will be slaves
Galmar:*axes the thalmor*
Galmar: Someone get that thing out of here and burn it
a quote from Galmar when asked if he opposes the non-nord races
"I oppose tyranny. I oppose those who tell me how to live, what to think, and what to believe. I'm a man. Skyrim is man's homeland. That's a fact. A fact I'm proud of. There's no shame in that. Read your history"
- ULFRIC FOR PRESIDENT 2016.
MAKE SKYRIM GREAT AGAIN!
I concur, MSGA 2016!
ulfric is the trump of skyrim
Only unlike Trump, Ulfric's cause is righteous.
The king in the North!!
- "When Elsweyr sends their Khajiit, they're not sending their best. They're bringing Skooma, they're bringing crime, they're thieves, and some of them I assume are good people."
Ulfric is a respectable and honorable man.
----
You can't change my mind.
Good tell ur friends
indeed he cares about his people and those that serve him if only my Kin in the gray quarter would see that and get off there asses and help
You WONT change my mind!
A respectful and honorable man would let everyone in no matter their race ulfric does not
@@nathandominie914 there are Dark Elves in Windhelm bro, and the only reason Ulfric is not too keen on any race besides the nords is because those other races who live in skyrim do not help with the war, in his mind, those who dont want to help win the war (as a stormcloak) doesnt want to support skyrim at all, so Ulfric sees this as disrespect to his homeland, and btw if you forgot, Ulfric is trying to bring back all the freedom to believe in the faith of the heroic Talos, so by disrespecting Ulfric, and i’m assuming supporting the imperials, means to detain religious freedom. So, Ulfric is not racist, he is offended for his homeland. Stop being hypnotized by the Dominion bro. 🙃
When I first played this, I had a rather negative opinion of Ulfric as a result of going... pretty much everywhere else prior to Windhelm. Certain things within Windhelm did not improve my opinion.
But this speech? This speech is powerful. Ulfric gained a ton of respect from me with this speech.
The man is passionate, and seems to truly believe in his cause.
But more than that, he's _charismatic_. After hearing that, I was suddenly able to see why people would fight for him, and die for him.
I still sided with the Imperials, but I have to admit that this speech (and the many, many speeches like it that he must have done "off camera") is pretty damn powerful.
Kudos to his voice actor.
I am aware I made a redundant statement in there. I'm on the RUclips app, which doesn't let me edit my comments, so I'll just have to fix it later (if I remember) because I'm not typing all that out again.
+KoyasuNoBara i can't wrap my head around the fact that the majority of players support the empire.
Grim Reaper Well, I thought of it this way:
* Aldmeri Dominion tells the empire they have two choices: War or Treaty on their terms.
* Empire chooses War.
* Empire loses horribly.
* Aldmeri Dominion again gives the empire two choices:
1. Continue the war, which has already devastated the country and killed so many people that there's literally no chance of winning at this point.
2. Sign the damn treaty, and work on rebuilding the country (until they're strong enough to fight back successfully).
I don't know about you, but I'd rather pick the option that lets the country limp away in defeat than have every last man, woman, and child fight to the death in a war that's currently impossible to win.
So, to me, the empire did the right thing.
The Stormcloaks have the right idea that they should be able to worship Talos as they please. They have the right idea that the damn Thalmor should gtfo of Skyrim.
But this is not the time to do so. Skyrim, and the rest of the empire, are still recovering. If the Stormcloaks win, then the Aldmeri Dominion is going to declare war on them immediately after they've just finished this civil war, which probably devastated their country even further. The Aldmeri Dominion _knows_ they are weak from the war, as well as the dragons. They _know_ that this is the perfect time to strike. There is no way they are going to pass up this chance.
If Skyrim had done this immediately after the White-Gold Concordat was signed like Hammerfell did, then maybe they would have had a chance, and maybe I would have sided with the Stormcloaks.
But 36 years passed before this. The Aldmeri Dominion had time to recover from their War with the Empire and Hammerfell. Furthermore, Hammerfell did not have to fight a long and drawn out civil war with the Empire prior to their war with the Altmer. Titus II just said, "Oh, you want to keep fighting? Fine, fight them, but you're not part of this empire anymore." Not to mention the fact that Hammerfell didn't have to deal with dragons as well.
*tl;dr:* I agree with the Stormcloaks on principal, but their timing sucks, so I have to side with the empire.
I agree. I like Ulfric and think he is a good leader, however, he might have it a little rough when he is done with the war and has a war torn land that he owns to fight some invaders, so the Imperials are a good choice.
+KoyasuNoBara The Thalmor don't really want either side to win, they just wanna toy around with the stalemate so as much people die as possible.
But besides any of that, the Civil War isn't something that will determine the future of Tamriel, otherwise Bethesda would make sure the true villians are well-defined from the start. Chances are, some big disaster is gonna interrupt the war and fuck both sides up, and the Thalmor will end up in the perfect position to take the Ruby Throne.
I will never understand why anyone sided with the Imperials. Every argument I've ever heard for the Empire falls to pieces, yet they're clung to like they're invincible. Give me Ulfric any day, over a man chosen by a feckless Emperor to crush an entire culture under it's heel, while those who dissent are stolen from their homes by a foreign government whose GENUINE racism makes that of the worst Stormcloak pale in comparison. At least Ulfric can inspire people--and at least Ulfric didn't decide to have our character executed without any trial or reasons for it besides our character being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Because it's easier for people to memorize one-liner lies than to investigate the truth. They just think "Stormcloak = Drumpf = Nazi" and repeat the same few lines of imperial propaganda and never search anything further.
Which would you rather have?
Ulfric: What he just said in this video ^
Tullius: “You people and your damn sense of honor”
Pretty clear to me
Hail High King Ulfric
Skyrim is not weaker under Stormcloaks control like people think. We have the Dragonborn on our side. Let the Dominion come...the Empire never had the Dovahkiin
well first of all how would the storm cloaks win without the dragon born? Also the dragon born still can choose the imperials and be much stronger. Also even at the end of the civil war a lot is revealed, the aldmeri dominion was funding the war to keep the empire weak ie they would have easily gone for the kill if the storm cloaks won. General Tulius being a person from Cyrodill didn’t care for different customs, he cared for what he needed to do (stop the stormcloaks in order to strengthen and take out the dominion). At first glance these statements could easily fool people because of its lack of details, clearly a propaganda technique, but diving deeper into the conflict and reading in game dialogue and texts you can see who is truly right.
@@somedude151 Fun little fact if you leave the battle of whiterun on either side you still win. So maybe they can win without the dragonborn.
Tullius is still a far more capable leader, especially in battle. Honor and bravery alone isn't gonna win you a war. Tullius literally captured ulfric in an ambush and holds his own against the stormcloaks even though a lot of his forces consist of barely trained soldiers. Besides, ulfric used the voice in a fight against someone who can't use it. He wouldve probably won anyways but it's definitely not honorable
Reasons for joining The Stormcloaks:
Blue is better than red
Beards are cool
Big, brawny old Kings are better than sickly looking, elderly Generals
and lastly this:
"I fight for my people impoverished to pay the debts of an empire too weak to rule them, yet brands them criminals for wanting to rule themselves."
Let's face it, the Stormcloaks embody everything that the Empire is not: strong, determined, and independent. The Empire is basically a tool being used by the Dominion. Skyrim, under Stormcloak leadership, would be no such thing, considering that he already betrayed and severed all ties with Elenwen and the Thalmor.
I think if Skyrim as a single independent state stood up against the Dominion it would inspire the other provinces like High Rock and Hammerfell to rise up against the Dominion and perhaps form a new Empire with Stormcloak as its Emperor. Eventually Cyrodiil would probably be inducted into this new Empire, given that this new Empire wins the fight against the Elves.
One could say that the Empire and Imperials like Thalmor even less than Stormcloaks - the choice between Empire and Stormcloaks is between a Skyrim that can resist the Thalmor until it's strong enough to defeat it, and a Skyrim that is easy prey for Thalmor.
I think you underestimate the strength of Skyrim. Assuming the Stormcloaks won in cannon, that would mean they have the support of the Dragonborn and possibly many of the Dragonborn's allies. Think of all the potential power that might come to the help of the Dragonborn should they ask for it. The Dawnguard, Durnheviir, Odahviing, maybe other allied Dragons. In the main quest, Delphine is already familiar with Ulfric Stormcloak, and now that the Septims are dead and the Penitus Oculatus have formed, the re-formed Blades could be a potential ally. Not to mention the unrest may have been what was keeping many denizens of Skyrim from taking up Ulfric's cause.
Cosmic Spark Dude please open your Skyrim map, what do you see in the western, eastern and southern corners of the map? MOUNTAINS! There are only really narrow roads that the Thalmor could use to transport their troops (and to do so the Empire would need to allow them to use it, and i doubt that their hatred for a free skyrim is bigger than their hatred for their Thalmor) and even if the Empire allowed them it would be really easy to exterminate the dominion troops, since one avalanche would not only kill a lot of soldiers but would also would make it impossible for the Thalmor to provide support for their remaining troops, and i believe Ulfric's Fus Roh Dah is more than enough to cause and avalanche (i'm not even considering the dragonborn would help the stormcloaks, because if so he would probrably be able to wipe the Aldmeri Dominion on his own, given how many dragons are backing him up) so the only way the Thalmor could possibly try to attack Skyrim would be by sea, which is also a bad idea, since they would have to travel many miles to reach skyrim's coast (Summerset Isles are REALLY far from Skyrim bro) and thus, their reinforcements and supplies would take too much before arrive, meaning the deployed troops would have a really hard time, especially if you consider the facts that Summerset Isles are hot and Skyrim is damn cold, it would pay to see how those fragile high elve mages would manage to survive, unless they waste all their magicka trying to keep the whole army warm... but i don't know how they would possibly manage to do so when the nords come with their blades and axes with battles cries and everything else. Skyrim itself is a goddam perfect fortress, unless they somehow manage to go flying there is no way the Thalmor would ever be able to take Skyrim...

Yeah OK but thalmor are dicks and ulfrics ugly and I'm dragon born not him
Hmm I dunno. Fashion and letting Thalmor destroy the world on one hand. Shitty uniforms and united Empire to stand against Thalmor in the coming war. Yeah Legion it is thanks, I'm not a fucking retard.
Ulfric challenge the High king to a duel and he accepted. Theirs a difference between killing someone and murdering them. Once the High King established a verbal agreement indicating that he accepts the challenge it no longer becomes murder. The Thu'um is not a forbidden form of magic. It is an ancient form of Nordic magic and because Ulfric challenge him to an ancient traditions of the Nords it was allowed to be used.
Ulfric is respectable in a way. He's definitely a patriot looking out for the greater good of his people. People whose virtues he embodies: Courage, leadership, duty, ferocity in battle, compassion for his subjects, loyalty to his comrades, willpower and a measure of hard-won wisdom.
If I were ever to play this game, I'd play Imperial side, but only because that's my choice. I also think I would speak of Ulfric (or to him when I fight him) with the utmost respect.
***** Sorry to break it for you (and I know this comment is almost a year old) but Ulfric is an agent of the Thalmor. He's nothing but a lackey serving his masters.
CidGuerreiro1234 do your resarch, Ulfric hates the thalmor, the thalmor wanted a civil war in skyrim, but after Ulfric wins he would hopefully team up with hammerfell, and maybe high rock and make the human alliance
Ahmed Hasan He's either a lackey or being manipulated like a puppet by them, pick one. And either way, the Stormclocks lost any respect when they attacked Whiterun. Empire's not great but they're less dirty. Also Stormcloacks are racist as fuck.
CidGuerreiro1234 you know that every fucking race in tamriel racist right ? Dark elves hates argonians and pretty much everyone,bretons (forsworn) are trying to kill all nords,argonians hate pretty much everyone too and i don't even need to say anything about high elves.This is a kind of middle age game you can't expect people to be democratical.
***** True, but I really don't like their "Skyrim belongs to the nords" kind of attitutde (even though I always play as a Nord, lol).
Imperials this, Stormcloaks that, blah blah blah.The true enemy are the Thalmor. While Tulius and Ulfric are bantering back and forth, the elves are sitting there laughing because they're playing both leaders as fools.
This is why either side winning is bad for them.
The Thalmor would be thrilled if the Imperials won though. Their boost would be cleaner than ever, with more lickers
The Thalmor is playing the Empire aka its puppet bitch. The Stormcloaks are getting rid of the Empire aka the Thalmor breathing down their neck at every turn.
The 3rd Empire died with Martin Septim. Skyrim owes no allegiance to Colovian Warlords and shall not submit itself to another Empire until it is led by a Shezarrine
agreed fellow legionnaire and dunmer but now i fight for skyrim and morrowind my wife's homeland and my own even if my island is just a wasteland now
The Argonians not being let inside Windhelm isn't Ulfric's idea. There's been a law in Windhelm prohibiting them from entering the city proper since the 1st Era I think.
Derek Flores Exactly! And dunmer and argonians also hate each other. put them together, and they will "avenge the ancestors killed by the other race".
Derek Flores Aye, that is true, but to deny any discrimination or prejudice from the citizens and even Ulfircs party is a bit extreme, you may be able to justify it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's racist (I'm not overly for either side, rather they just allow me, the fucking Dragonborn, to conquer both sides and take the throne for myself).
Ulfric also dishonours a tradition of the Greybeards, by using the Thu'um, an art only trained by the Greybeards in present day Skyrim, outside of worship of Kyne, odd thing for a man of tradition to do. Still, Elisif isn't that great either, her only claim is that she married Torygg, she doesn't seem like she'd be a good Queen either, relying heavily on Falk Firebeard to prevent her from making rash decisions.
Umbra Magister She is also useless as you can see on the quest the season unending where she needs Tullius help to argue with Ulfric
Bagoom Potatoman Indeed
Umbra Magister all that she is for is that the empire will have it easier controlling skyrim with her
His voice is enough to get me on his side

stormcloaks are proletarian.
For Stormcloaks!

Until the Thalmor sack Syrim and life becomes miserable for all of her citizens.
@@nbHawkeye Lol, the Thalmor couldn't even conquer Hammerfell even though it borders the Dominion and the Redguards were fighting on their own, and you think they'll be able to mount a successful invasion of Skyrim?
If the Empire wants to choose to be subjugated, fine. Let them. They won't take Skyrim with them!
By helping the Stormcloaks you also help thalmor
@@MickeyX2M the empire has failed and the empire is a cowardly organisation. They sold Skyrim and abandoned hammerfell to save themselves. The empire could have continued fighting the dominion but they gave up, sold Skyrim out to the dominion and shot themselves in the foot. Before you say, the empire was planning against the thalmor, have you stopped to think how they would do that. The thalmor have so much control of the empire and Skyrim thanks to the white gold concordot that they can basically do anything. They can arrest and detain people of Skyrim at will (as you see in the game), the empire wouldn't be able to make any major decisions without the thalmor's input and consent. The thalmor have the ability to interfere with anything happening in Skyrim, look at marhkath for example or even the college of winterhold, hell even the peace treaty (unless the Dragonborn sends her away). So what makes you think the empire can conspire against the thalmor without them knowing. I am sure the thalmor can even walk into their meeting and defend to see the war plans. You imperials are cowards who don't care about Skyrim so then let Skyrim actually take care of itself.
@@MickeyX2M "A stormcloak victory is also to be avoided" The only thing helping the thalmor is a divided Skyrim. Either side winning is bad for them

@@deplatformedcrowprinceluna6339 More like your a thalmor spy.
@@margegriffin164
**Fusrodah Jarl Ulfric Repeatedly**
No, you’re a Thalmor spy.
I done my research.
I read the Thalmor dossier about Ulfric Stormcloak, reading what the Thalmor planning, plus General Tullius hated the Thalmor.
The White Gold Concordat is just a way for the Empire to buy time to prepare for another war against the Thalmor.
Stormcloaks like you are idiotic and too ignorant of what the Empire was trying to do to survive and going to prepare for war.
Plus Ulfric Stormcloak killed Torryg during a duel is cheating than using magic.
Plus if I see Ulfric Stormcloak.
The Fusrodah I would repeatedly used on him is the karma on him.
Also, Skyrim would be weak without the Empire if they fight against the Thalmor alone.
The Stormcloak rebellions are nothing but the Thalmor’s divide and conquer’s strategy to invade the provinces.
Congratulations, Stormcloak. You played yourself.
@@deplatformedcrowprinceluna6339 The empire turned there back on talos, the founder of the empire. And the release of the talos mistake stated that basically. Also, if I'm a thalmor spy why am I trying to win the war when the thalmor don't want that? The thalmor want a never ending war. So you kinda also played yourself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I would've loved to give that damn dossier to him. What better way to make him even more pissed at the Thalmor then saying they consider you an asset and spy on you from behind the scenes.
Modders get on that!
becoming goose pimples when he say "I fight because i must" you can tell me everything about him but Ulfric is a man with Honor and in a world were Skyrim would be Real i would fight for him and bring his voice on every corner of Tamriel.
"For Skyrim!"
thijs piggelen He didn'rt betrayed them, he left when the Great War began, and did ti before being officialy named a Greybeard. He was like the Dragonborn: a disciple of the Greybeards teachings
thijs piggelen He betrayed the way of the voice to go fight for the empire, what an irony, don't you think?
@@stgl2912
Didn't he left Throthgar because his father died? It is a pretty good reason to me.
He wishes things were different, but he knows that he has to stand and fight, because he knows what the Thalmor May do to Skyrim, and Tullius doesn’t even consider the Thalmor until the questline is done! Hail Ulfric, High King Of Skyrim, and Jarl of Windhelm!
America desperately needs an Ulfric right now.
Ulfric being awesome; he's good at that.
I've played Skyrim on both sides, and feel both ends of the war have valid points.
No matter if you believe Ulfric the best choice to lead Skyrim in the upcoming war against the Thalmor or find him a misguided fool who will only end up getting his people slaughtered, you have to admit... He is awesome.
Yeah. Even though I support the empire I don't really see the stormcloaks as the true enemy. We are basically killing our fellow men while the thalmor watch it all happen with a grin.
Yea I mean I totally admire him but there are a few facts that I don’t agree with him but ya got to give it to the guy
His speeches are pure gold
I feel like Ulfric is misunderstood a lot. Ulfric is a fundamentally a good man at heart. He’s passionate and well meaning and he genuinely cares about his cause. He isn’t stupid and he has good intentions, its just he isn’t exactly fit for the job but was the only one that stood up to do anything.
He gets too engrossed in one thing at a time and multiple problems arise from him being too careless about anything that doesn’t directly help the stormcloaks.
This negligence is a large reason why the Dunmer of Windhelm feel unheard or racism goes unchecked when Ulfric isn’t in the room.
He’s the wrong man with the right intentions, his passion is powerful and his speech is compelling but his ability to unite others is lacking.
I prefer to stay neutral on the civil war questline since both options end poorly but I think by far, Ulfric is better man out of him or General Tulius.
Also its been a while since i played the imperial questline but isn’t tulius more racist? I remember him constantly talking shit about nords while ulfric doesn’t give a fuck if you are a cat or elf as long as you care about the cause. Maybe people think ulfric is more racist since argonians aren’t allowed in the city although thats not because ulfric hates argonians its just his half assed solution to prevent conflict between them and the dark elves. That or some of the mouth breathers in his army-
Ulfric isn't the wrong man at all. The Dunmer and Brunwulf are at fault:
- the Dunmer for being ungrateful bastards refusing to integrate when they arrived 150 years before Ulfric was even born, yet they're blaming him for their laziness and hatred of outsiders (the owner of the dunmer inn basically tells you to fuck off if you enter, and he doesn't care at all about the death of the Nord woman Susan who was friendly towards the Dunmer and even recommended his inn).
The Dunmer in Riften are much much more integrated, you think Riften is a heaven then? No, it's that the dunmer who came there weren't entitled assholes expecting the Nord to basically rebuild Morrowind for them on their own land to give it to them. They came to work and they respect the Nords so they're respected too.
- Brunwulf for being a disgusting political agitator spreading racial tensions on purpose to take over while he doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself, uses the Dunmer for his own gain while lying to them and us constantly: he never speaks to Ulfric or enters the palace, his "caravans of refugees attacked" have 0 proof or even other testimonies beyond him and he sends you to a random place that has no mark of that whatsoever, he doesn't help the Argonians get in the city after he takes over and he still blames the Nords for it to continue dividing people...
Ulfric has united half the entire province under his banner, despite the Empire lying, torturing and executing as much political dissent as possible, Ulfric is a goddamn hero of diplomacy for this accomplishment, and he's a wise man for not wasting his time debating with liars aka the Empire as they never keep their words, as they've proved by locking him up after he conquered the Reach for them and was rewarded with torture in Thalmor jails.
Everything people both irl and in Skyrim hold against him is an Imperial lie that is easy to dismiss and was made because on an honest basis/debate, Ulfric is absolutely right on every single account and the Empire clearly has no place anymore in Skyrim.
Tullius indeed is more racist, he hates the Nords so much he caused the deaths of thousands of men and lost dozens of battles and positions because he keeps seeing them as stupid beasts and doesn't listen to Rikke, who spends all her time preventing his own soldiers from killing him after hearing him go "Soguardven? I don't care about what you stupid animals believe in, I just wanna go back to a civilized province that doesn't smell like mead and piss everywhere"
Argonians aren't allowed in Windhelm because the history between them and the Dunmer is one of slavery by the Dunmer and revenge genocide by the Argonians, and the Argonians being far fewer in Windhelm than the Dunmer, they'd get killed on the spot if they entered the city. As a reminder, the Dunmer woman harassed when you first enter Windhelm is the only Dunmer that interacts with those Argonians, and what does she do? She starves them to teach them lessons and controls them through drug trade when she isn't busy telling them to "move their lazy tail" or calling them "filthy".
All hail to Ulfric! You are the High King!
In your great honor we drink and we sing.
We're the children of Skyrim, and we fight all our lives.
And when Sovngarde beckons, every one of us dies!
This dude is Legit. I’ll give him my blessing and I hope he wins the civil war. Yeah I started the empire and unified Tamriel at one point, but regimes and empires don’t last forever, but your culture can die, and Ulfric is all about his people.
agreed even i support him and i worship the Deadra The enemy of the Aedra
Such an honor 2 meet u😍😂
Ulfric is undeniably an idiot. The empire and thalmor both elude to another great war between the empire and the aldmeri dominion(thalmor). Ulfric is mad because of the banning of White-gold concordant, aka banning of worshipping talos. Although the empire agree to the terms, they dont enforce it at all because they are preparing for a second war. That's why rikke secretly praises talos, why she ignores questions about thalmor because she cant make any open statements without getting into trouble, and why you dont see anyone worshipping talos in jail. The thalmor help Stormcloaks because the civil war is wasting the empires resources and makes the empire weaker for when they inevitably go to war in the future

@@anattackhelicopter2680 ???? The empire still has control over skyrim from the start of the game they didnt "sell it off to the dominion". Tf are u talking about???
Can someone please provide me with an example of his racism? The Dunmer in Grey Quarter chose not to participate in town activities or wars and make their own clan. Of course they end up excluded. I'd say the only thing that makes him seem like a racist is his hatred for the Thalmor... And because what he went through, can you blame him? The majority of Tamriel are racist to some degree. And, like Ulfric says, he killed the High King in a fair combat. He challenged the king, and the king accepted, knowing what may be the outcome. Using his voice may have been his mistake, but everyone makes mistakes. Surrendering to the Aldmeri Dominion, even when they had a chance at winning the war, was a terrible mistake committed by the Empire. So now who exactly is the coward here?
Ulfric actually never displays racism. The reason why he doesn't help non-Nord groups like Brynjolf Free-Winter states is shown during an idle dialogue between Ulfric and Jorleif, where Jorleif asks why Ulfric isn't expanding his aid and Ulfric responds by pointing out that the only people who support him consist of Nords and the rest don't return his kindness so he doesn't bother wasting scarce resources on them.
He never says a single racist line, too, despite Tulius saying anti-Nord racial slurs and mockeries every 2-3 lines to the point where literally every conversation he has with Rikke is her trying to correct his racist stereotyping.
Yeah, he’s definitely the rightful ruler. Toryg had Honor too. That’s why both made it to Sovngarde.

I fight for my people impoverished to pay the debts of an Empire too weak to rule them, yet brands them criminals for wanting to rule themselves!"
i cri everitime
same if they re did morrrowind after skyrim or same time i would to the same speech and drive the empire from my homeland burning the empire let by kin die in the red year and for that all i have is hate for an empire i once served.
For all his flaws, Ulfric is exactly the kind of leader Skyrim needs. He will fight to protect his land and his people to his dying breath and will never let Skyrim fall to any foreign power, be it the Empire or the Dominion.
Ulfric Stormcloak! The King in the North!!
I play Imperial, and I felt the passion from this speech and joined stormcloaks.
Badass speech
Speech 100
I was like man what's so good about this guy? Listens to speech...welp looks like I'm a stormcloak now xD
As a Dark Elf I would also follow him to the depths of oblivion. Skyrim is a land that belongs to Nords and they are the ones who are supposed to be in charge and decide how to best protect and take care of her. I truly love Skyrim as it is my home now and that's precisely why I would bleed for Ulfric
Same Kinsmen the Empire Abandoned are People in our time of Need only the Nord help use and for that I am thankful.
I served the Legion proudly during the Third era ended up fighting in the battle for Skingrade In the Obilvion crisis as they attacked my manor the Empire died that day with Martin septim long may he rest.
I served the Legion for a long time, AND FOR WHAT my homeland of Vvardenfell destroyed those i cared for died and turned to ash as the legion left to protect the Imperial city living Our kin to die the blood of the good and evil on my hands as i did them Empire bidding for NOTHING.
Ulfric is a Soldier and a Leader and we care for are brethren weather their man or mer or beast we know what it is worth protect and the value of blood on are hands and what True Sacrifice is Ulfric has by Bow and spells should he need it.
"Uhm ackshally, Skyrim belonged to the Falmer snow elves who were subjugated by Ysgramor and his 500 companions" -🤓
@@thatguy8777 there are some who argue that the nords were born on the throat of the world (in skyrim) but a great war between the early spirits shattered the world and stranded the nords in atmora -🤓
After the night of tears
"We're gonna build a wall around Morrowind and make the Elves pay for it!"
nooo i fight for skyrim and i am a dunmer the pact will be reborn
Owen Johnson im a Nord
There’s no way Todd let them hit that many notes without knowing what he was saying. Todd is our guy
Todd is indeed /ourguy/
ALL HAIL ULFRIC THE KING IN THE NORTH!!!
This is why ULFRIC is doing a right thing.Because if you read the lore Jurgen Windcaller got fucked when he lead his army to the Red Mountain and battle (if you do not know,that specific mountain is in Morrowwind)After he got rekt,the gods told him that they actually wanted him to get REKT cause he wasn't using the voice in a right way because he was using it for war.But ULFRIC was actually a student of the Greybeards and he soon quit to fight for the Stormcloaks.He did not get contacted by the gods or got rekt.So that means that the gods and the divines want the Stormcloaks to win.
Also if you do kill him by siding with the Imperials you hear him accept his death but also you can find him in soverngaurd and he's not mad.
Vinyix Productions "He did not get contacted by the gods or get rekt."
He was captured and tortured during the Great War. He was captured and tortured again following the Markarth Incident. He was captured and almost executed yet again at the beginning of the game.
False, Ulfric lessens how much he used his Voice and still a follower of way of the voice.
Jurgen Windcaller's armies was wiped out because of the combined armies of the dwemer and the chinmer.
Ulfric is doing the same fucking thing! Like he used it without permission stated by the Grey bears themselves and abused it for personal gain. He violated the most sacred tradition of his own people just to become High King.
Technically,the greybeards could say something similar about
*Literally everyone who has ever played Skyrim!*
Take a look at the map of Tamriel, the Thalmor will never be able to set foot on skyrim's ports because they will be under constant attack and the sea of ghost is treacherus,hell Any kind of Victory is bad for the Thalmor and plus Ulfric is not a racist....the reason the argonians and Dunmer are seperated in the grey quarters and docks is because they really don't like each other...anyways HAIL ULFRIC STORMCLOAK
This moment was single handedly the reason I side stormcloak.
Stormcloaks all the way!! All hail Ulfirc, High King of all Skyrim! May his reign be glorious, and the blood of his enemies turn to ice at his approach.
_
Hail Ulfric!!!
In his honor we drink and we sing!
3:03 "we have war to plan" funny,how ulfric passed the strategy map for war to plan instead went to his room lmao
Ulfric's voice gives me chill bumps everytime I hear it, God! I love being a Stormcloak!!
UGH. gets me every time! *tear tear*
My Dovahkiin's reaction to this speech: "A noble sentiment, sire, but if I may speak freely? You and General Tullius are both acting like fools. The Aldmeri Dominion and its Thalmor masters are playing you both against each other like children's toys. _They_ are the true masterminds behind this conflict, and their ultimate aim is to _erase Mundus and Nirn from existence,_ because they're delusional enough to believe that with the races of Man and Beast gone, they will regain eternal life! Don't do their job for them--_unite as one and fight to thwart their evil purpose!_ So declares the Dovahkiin!"
*sigh* I heartily wish I could bust a speech like this out at the negotiating table during Season Unending... :(
I just wish there were a mod to do exactly this. Unite both the Imperials and Stormcloaks against the Elven menace
For this speech is why i play like Nord and join to Stormclocks. Thank you for share it.
I don't stand on either side of the civil war. But Ulfric's words are true.
This why I feel like people who sided with the Empire never saw it from the Stromclocks side cause all they could say is Stromclocks are racist when actually basically every Nord is racist and Ulfric is probably the least racist, plus I feel like Ulfric winning will be the canon ending to the war cause it makes the situation more interesting than if the empire won
inbred people they judge a medieval game by current standards
Ironically
saying that the nords are racist is racist
I like both sides, but helping the Stormcloaks really feels like you are basically surrendering to the Dominion.
I'll explore this point. If Skyrim is independent, other provinces of Tamriel will likely follow the example given how weakend the empire felt in the Forth Era (Even more so if Titus Mede is killed by the Listener in the Dark Brotherhood questline), which in the end will shatter any realistic way of dealing with the Aldemri Dominion without a much crude and brutish war between the former empire of Tamriel and the Summerset Isles.
@@pilotero3898 Skyrim was the only other area still under the empire, but still it set up in a way where neither decision is better than the next, both have basically the same level of pros and cons and that emperor was the one who decided to surrender when the war was more or less even so him being dead is not as big a hit as you think, only when it comes to his succession and rebuilding the empire but war wise he was just a figure head
@@mr.fantastic6568 lol how so?
Skyrim is for the Nords!
the voice actor to Ulric is the guy who played Beowulf in the movie The 13th Warrior.
A truly powerful speech. Hail Ulfric Stormcloak the true high king of skyrim!
Ulfric sexyvoice
One of the best character in the entire game.
I fight for skyrim and her people the empire died when they signed a peace with the elves
The dialogues in this game is the best I have heard. Written so gracefully it's breath taking... Sometimes I forgot I was playing a game. These characters of Skyrim were real to me
I did utter these words.
tullius is a coward and he doesn´t like the traditions of skyrim
Oh, shut your Stormcloak mouth. General Tullius is the most successful military governor the Empire has had in a long time. You think the Empire is behind the uprising? The Stormcloaks are fools, if they go against the Concordat. The Emperor saw fit to sign the peace treaty, as they were no match for the Dominion. Clearly outmatched, they had no choice. It's not the Empire's fault. If there's anyone the Stormcloaks should be against, it's the Aldmeri Dominion. The Emperor made a wise move, agreeing to the terms of the White-Gold Concordat. If not, where would Skyrim be, this day? It was only by the Concordat, that the regions under the Empire are safe. Or else, they would be destroyed by the Dominion.
then tell me this...why the empire doesn`t ask aid all the people of tamriel? why they only attack alone against the dominion? i know tullius is good general but do you hear what he say about all the nords of skyrim? he doesn´t care the tradition,honor. if you think like that, you are like the battle-borns ignorance and bad pride of the empire...mark my words
sixsixrevolver
And do you know, that Ulfric is a traitor to skyrim? Maybe you should play the Quest in Solitude, where you break intothe embassy of the Thalmor! ;)
sixsixrevolver I'm sorry, I was unable to understand a word of whatever it was that you might've said, due to your utterly repulsive grammar.
Nisarg Joshi Hahaha you fool, he love the imperials!
:D
I wonder what Todd howard would say...
On the topic of the video: Inspiring speech, the voice actor of Ulfric gave so much life to this character
I'm always an Imperial. But goddamn, Ulfric's voice is sexy,
While there are the issues of the Nords’ racism and the Thalmor benefiting from a weakened Empire, after over a decade of playing this masterpiece of a game (as well as experiencing a variety of changes in my own personal political beliefs), I can’t help but feel that Ulfric and the Stormcloaks are right, and that their cause, though flawed, is just.
Maybe TES 6 would be about fighting the aldmeri dominion and crushing them ~
+General Decianus that would be the best TES game ever, even as a side quest or add-on.. All that pent up rage. haha
Its probally going to the Thalmor winning the second great war because an isolated Skyrim is much easier to take with the right magic to use. Also If Thalmor rule Tamriel you will likeley be a prisoner on Alinor who has to crush the Thalmor from the inside instead of open battle.
would make sense, its obvious Bethesda introduced the Thalmor in Skyrim to introduce us to the antagonist of the last game and the game isnt exactly subtle at alluding to how the Thalmor are one of the biggest threats to Tamriel.
Its kinda like Corypheus in DA2 and DA:I, in DA2 he was introduced in a DLC and in DA:I he was the main antagonist so I think the Thalmor will follow the same path.
099Nitro
Or maybe the next game will be about how the empire defeated the stormcloaks,
And because of it the thalmor took over tamriel unopposed.
I hope so. The only good Thalmor is a dead Thalmor.
The day I heard this dialogue I knew I had to follow the Stormcloaks
If only there was a way to have both sides work together and destroy the thalmor
He is children of Skyrim. A true hero!
I fight so all the fighting I've already done isn't for nothing. A true warrior
Every time i hear him give this speech, i can't help to bite my lip =-w-=
"I fight for the ones who can't fight - and if I lose, at least I tried!"
Awesome man! Good music and a good game! :)
I finally realized it. Ulfric Stormcloak's voice reminds me of The Golden One.
And ı fight for you ulfric stormcloak the true HIGH KING
The speech given by Ulfric and even the Stormcloak generals in their camps are so amazing. Uplifting. Spirited.
It's just a shame they're hell bent on, "Skyrim is for the Nords only. Those who aren't as such, must leave."
That's why that if you're a non-Nord, you tell Galmar that Skyrim has a place for non-Nords (in my case, a Dunmer).
My thoughts exactly.
An addition... If you ask Niranye (An Altmer) "Are you treated as badly as the Dark Elves?" she replies by saying "It was difficult at first. The Nords of this city are, at best, suspicious of outsiders. But in time I made the right friends and proved myself useful enough that they don't give me trouble anymore. The Dunmer are too proud and naive to see the way things truly are, and so they continue to dwell in that slum." So the dark elves essentially put themselves in this position.
I FIGHT, BECAUSE I MUST !
his voice...is velvet.....Ulfric....his voice...VELVET. uufft
As an Imperial soldier, I disagree with Ulfric's ideals. However, I respect him greatly for how he leads his men and how fearless he is. There is no better friend than an old enemy. See you in Sovngarde, Ulfric.
All hail Ulfric of house Stormcloak, the first of his name. King of the nords, the orsimer, and the reachmen. Jarl of Windhelm, the Bear of Markarth, the killer of kings and speaker of the voice. Lord of the 9 holds and protector of the realm. Long may he reign
Its amazing how skyrim reflects real life events.
Very much true. I wish we had a ulfric in real life. Who was proud of HIS PEOPLE. no shame in who we are, a great people
2:05 always i hear this...damn he is right.
I really wished the Empire and Stormcloaks just teamed up to sock it to the Aldmeri bastards that were responsible for all the problems in the first place. I felt bad having to side with either side and destroying the other, but ultimately, I went with the Stormcloaks. No major disrespect to the Empire, but they let the Aldmeri walk all over them to such a degree that I can't blame the people of Skyrim having enough of it.
The discrimination sucks, but let's not pretend the Empire are paragons in this regard. And the Stormcloaks are Martin Luther King in comparison to the Aldmeri.
Am I the only one who's in love with his voice?
Ulfric might be a quack, but that voice!
Ulfric the High King! He is such a bad ass, I love how passionate he is. And why he fights.
