Skyrim: 5 Things They Never Told You About The Stormcloaks
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- Skyrim is a land in turmoil at the onset of The Elder Scrolls 5 as an uprising led by Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak seeks to break Skyrim free of rule from the Septim Empire. The Stormcloak cause is a controversial one, some see them as righteous liberators, restoring freedom to Skyrim - While others view them has a group of disorganized bandits with little legitimacy. However you see them, the Stormcloaks and their leader, Ulfric Stormcloak, are an iconic and influential force in the game. And like everything else in Skyrim Special Edition, there's quite a few Easter Eggs, tiny details and hidden facts surrounding them. So today we'll be taking a look at five things you (probably) didn't know about the Stormcloaks of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

You kill the dragon that literally wants to eat the world, a guy that is also a dragonborn and is gaining power in Apocrypha and thousands of years old powerful vampire lord. You are the archmage of the college of Winterhold, leader of thieves guild and the dark brotherhood and the harbinger of Companions.
Ulfric and Galmar: "Go kiLL IcE WraITh tO sEE if YOu ArE WorThY. AlsO BRiNg ToOthS"
Galmar: ''WhaT YoU Did NoT GeT KIllEd By IcE WRAiTH? I OwE ULfric A DRinK!''
Oh and the bloody companions quest as well. You could do all the quests in the game defeat alduin, Harkon etc and Vilkas will be like: “BuT KoDLak iVe neVEr EvEn HeaRD Of ThIs OutSIDeR

@@domhuckle hes a nord, what else did you expect? the only way for him to be granted entrance to their afterlife is if he were to face his death with bravery and acceptance, and nords get too cocky with everything they do
It's funny how nords can still be alive when the majority is hot headed and dumb, especially the stormcloacks, those guys would get rekt by the High Elves without a solid plan or the support of the empire.
@@hetoverseo3887 Not all of them. Nords can be idiots, but they can also be smart. They had wisemen in the ages of old(Wisemen are just mages), and their power was so great they could afford to be hotheaded. Old Nords didn't need siege engines, because the Tongues could shout down walls easily. Their power was so great they could create their own empire despite being surrounded on all sides by Mer. Ysgramor and his companions pretty much single-handedly wiped out all snow elves from skyrim.
Nords can be amazing, they just got toned down as time went on. Too OP, Bethesda had to nerf.
@@hetoverseo3887 how the hell do high elves live for hundreds of years when the majority of them can only cast that dollar store shock spell + bound sword
One of the little details I found. When you come back from killing an ice wraith, Galmar will say "I owe Ulfric a drink" which makes me think while Galmar was skeptical, Ulfric always trusted you, cause you survived the dragon attack alongside him at Helgen.
Trust is a strong word. He probably just judged you a good warrior. Say what you want about him he does have an eye for talent.
Galant is a cool dude but he had a somewhat manipulative side to him,in some of the dialog between ulfric and galmar you can clearly hear that galmar is influencing ulfric to be more violent

Here’s a free bonus fact on stormcloaks. If you play as one of the two beasts races, stormcloak aligned guards will always call you a slur when referring to your race, while empire aligned guards will call you by your actual race.
And yet still for some reason you are also treated with the same respect as a nord when you finish the civil war. Skyrim can be so ironic sometimes
@@knightgabriel1311 i assume this is because once youve finished the war youve proven yourself. While stormcloacks can be dismissive at first there is quite a lot of evidence that they arent just rascist and can appreciate those whove proven themselves.
KnightGabriel it’s because you’re the chosen one and Skyrim can’t handle delving into complex so they treat you like a nord 90% of the time as it is the true hero’s default race, as was oblivion’s being an imperial and morrowind’s being a dunmer
Dirty Mashups Done Dirt Cheap heres another fact. If you play as either beast race the imperial captain will call you either cat or lizard while Ralof will refer to you as the races actual name so there are bad apples in both
Star Dragon they aren’t, at least not under ulfric, they were under Toryg imo, it’s obviously more to do with leadership than actual race. Skyrim heavily relies on supplies (including food) from Cyrodiil, if the stormcloaks win mass starvation is basically guaranteed in a few years, Ulfric is a Thalmor puppet whom doesn’t even realise it and thus he doesn’t have much foresight, he wasn’t high ranking in the Great War after all and has no commanding experience outside of his rebellion
The Stormcloak ice wraith quest has a bit of a lore background. In the explorers guide to Skyrim, I think the 2nd edition, it said the coming of age ritual in the old holds was hunting ice wraiths.
Ah, I see. It's not a test of skill- never was. It's a test of how willing you are to adhere to Nord culture. That explains why he's not racist towards you once you join.
When you realise the 'old ways' Galmar is referring to was filled with Nord weapons that were superior to the elven counterparts, Nords like Azidahl, Shalidor, the Dragon Priests like Morokei who had control of the Eye of Magnus and made a staff to sync with it, Jyrik Gauldurson who enchanted his own body and his brothers who were powerful in their own right, whomever made the wooden mask that teleports the wearer *through time*, had made platforms out of magic lasting thousands of years, enchanted weapons that required no soul gems to recharge and ice weapons of which the Skaal continue to use to this day and can only be mined with a Nord pickaxe that despite being thousands of years old, is the only pickaxe strong enough to harvest it, yet despite all this the Nord nationalists are heavily against magic because they believe it's purely elven stuff.
The staff of magnus was created by magnus he being the architect of the mortal plane used it to help create it
@@biforpotterbot9813 🤦♂️ forgot about that!
I remember an argument people would make for the Stormcloaks saying that Ulfric wants to abolish the Empire's influence on Skyrim which was the justification for him damning the Moot but it that argument falls flat when you realise that the Nine Divines are from the Imperial Pantheon, Magic was heavily Nordic thousands of years ago and that the Nords worshipped animals (including dragons which nobody wants) in their "Old Ways"
@@NiceuRiceu I don't think Ulfric wants to revert back to those days as such, but it's interesting to consider the heritage he views is very imperialistic when the true nords practised magic ad nauseum.
On the topic of magic being a major proponent of Ancient Nord culture, I have a loose theory that Atmorans were partly responsible for developing necromancy. The Draugr, and the whole deal with Morthal, are prime examples of this where Atmorans were almost obsessed with the undead. Another fun thing o think about is almost no Aedra or Daedra that we know has anything to do with the possibility of the undead (seeing as most things on Nirn are bound to the influences of these deities).
Most people (at least humans) distrust magic because of the Oblivion crisis, not because its elven. Mages helped open the oblivion gates
10:20 killing an ice wraith is a right of passage for the passage from a boy to a man in nord tradition, so he expects solders to follow nordic customs of manhood
We are men, manly men
No, he expects foreigners and non-Nords to kill an Ice Wraith because he mistrusts them.
@@dutchpatriot17 even as a nord i had to kill it
@@ld1844 Hence the ''foreigners'' part.
I've joined the rebellion many times. And I remember vividly Galmar just straight up admits it really was just a mere test to see if you even know how to fight (if you ask him about it).
6th fact: What does Ulfric wear when it's raining?
His Stormcloak.
badumtssss
Was it Simon who stapled my heart..
To the floor?
TO THE BLOCK
Goddammit...
*get off the stage!*
One theory I heard about the Ice Wraith quest is that it's because Nords are 50% resistant to Frost damage.
In other words, the test to join the Stormcloaks is one where non-Nords are at a disadvantage.
Never thought of that
@@billyoak4766 The thing is the imperials don’t want to outlaw talo’s worship. They just want to prevent more death until they can properly fight the war. As hard as it is to believe the stormclocks are aiding the enemy by starting this civil war. They’re putting the empire and all none thalmor are at a disadvantage against the thalmor by draining them of men and resources. They are putting so many people at risk by doing this right now when the war is at a standstill not an end. Imperial leaning doesn’t equal thalmor hater, it means thalmor hater but at the same time knowing a civil war is about the dumbest idea right now. In fact, I do think it’s probably for the best that that skyrim becomes whatever the nords want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. But right now they’re playing right into the thalmor’s hands.
Not trying to argue just still like discussing skyrim this long after it’s release. :)
Another reason to join *THE GLORIOUS EMPIRE!*
@deving8737 I mean it's you opinion but I always join the stormcloaks
Personally, I feel as though the stormcloak plans to invade the summerset isles heavily would revolve around you, the dragonborn. Since you were an extremely powerful asset to winning the civil war, galmar and ulfric likely factored you in as a "secret weapon" of sorts, making their plans much more feasible.
*opens console*
*clicks on all the elves*
*win the war*
I have a theory on why the emperor signed the white gold concordat. Humans are more fertile and takes less time making babies then elves. The elves live long but don't really breed. So that the emperor after a while to buff up his armies and invade the summer set isles.
Someone with killing words could easily take on a whole army. One good shout would entirely disrupt all but the most disciplined of formations. Historically speaking, whichever army breaks first does not have a good time.
@@lucamckenn5932 hell even a hefty dose of Fus or Struun would do it, would introduce enough chaos to utterly demoralize the enemy, with (relatively) very little effort on the part of the dragonborn
Dragonborn and Odahving are going to be a heck of an Air Force.

Dragonborn: How about all of you belong to me? (Looks at the Thalmor) And I mean all of you.

I suppose it's safe to presume that Elder Scrolls 6 is going to feature some conflict with the Aldmeri.

I was thinking the same thing. I hope it is. I want those damn elves dead
Lee Gaul I really hope they don’t do another time jump maybe like 10 or 20 years after the events of ES:5 there’s so many interesting things left to explore in the fourth era..such as the war with the Aldmeri
Ulfric never declared himself High King. His followers do, but he himself is quite adament about allowing the moot to decide
Fact 2; Theres actually a fetch quest from the college of Winterhold that you deliver enchanted weapons to people into Windhelm...but none of them are nord ;)

also it wasnt just because talos was human, talos to the elves is the reincarnation of lorkan, the trickster god (to the elves) that is responsible for taking away the elves immortality. Naturally lorkan is the reason men exist in the first place and that mundus exists at all, so to men lorkan is a hero and there creator. To the elves talos is lorkan reborn, so you can see why they be miffed about him being an official god of the empire. edit:cuz part was not technically corrected and removed, im not best on how to explain how the souls pledged to gods works
On this subject, the elves can get metaphorically fucked.
Travis Walls lol!!!
Casey Fender oh no!! I can’t be the master race and be literally immortal, ah god I’m so mad I can’t be a slave runner and harshly rule over every race!!
It probably has more to do with Tiber Septim decimating the Summerset Isles and killing hundreds of thousands of Altmer with his stompy robot back when he was alive.
Yeah the elves can suck a dremoras curved sword, all im saying it goes alot deeper then him just being a man and not mer
Somebody from behind: "Important deliveries to make! No time for chatting!"
People often doubt that the stormcloaks could defeat the thalmor at home, but they usually forget that if the stormcloaks win its because they have the Dragonborn, literally the most powerful being on the planet. LDB flies in riding paarthurnax and bending will on a bunch of other dragons and you wouldn’t even need an army.
Thalmor:we have one army
Dragonborn:proceeds tô spam bend Will,call durneviir and odaviing
My Dragonborn w Lydia > all of skyrim
One big shout could disrupt row upon row of army formations, and in the chaos of just trying to get back on your feet and to your position you're going to have a horde of 7 foot barbarians turning your skull into bloody powder.
Oh dovahkin, you rascal you.
Oops I can't ride parthunaxx as I'm a dragon slayer and I kill him first chance I get cant trust dragons..
The DB, outside of the main quest, is not canon. Or else ot would fuck up EVERYTHING.
There's a reason why Elder Scrolls protagonists vanish.

Also in some cultures the Bear was considered the king of the forest and one of the most dangerous creatures ever. So dangerous that you hardly dare to speak it's name.

@@JoseAlejandro-xc6fb The stormcloaks are weaker than the empire
I think that launching an assault against the thalmor, Ulfric anticipates other provinces like Hamerfell to join in the fight, since they hate them just as much if not more then the Nords
But the Stormcloaks don't see other races well in their eyes, almost like a sort of superiority complex. Ulfric even holds back his troops when non-nord villages are in danger. It's sounds like he only wants native Skyrim to conquer the Thalmor. The problem is that (should the Stormcloaks win the civil war) other Jarls won't side with Ulfric; Balgruf of Whiterun for example. Not to mention they'd most probably hold animosity towards Ulfric for driving the empire out of Skyrim and wrecking the land in the war. The Stormcloaks wanting to march to the Thalmor capitol and conquer them, seems to be nothing more than pure arrogance. If the Empire, a nation possessing one of the mightiest militaries in Tamriel, sees the Thalmor armies as a legitimate threat, what chance does a small army, lead by a man who sees his own race as the only one that's respectable, truly have?
There is also the dragonborn's shouts of bending will or call dragons that can bê a really good asset tô the invasion
@@nickjoffe8433The stormcloaks view Nords as the people of Skyrim. They don’t view other races as their priority. It’s less a matter of supremacy and more a matter of distrust of foreigners.

Well considering that the dragonborn has two dragons, three if you counting bend will at their beck and call, a shout that Literaly manipulates time, unrelenting force which would realistically be great for breaking up enemy formations, and on top all of that being at least 25% as powerful as a literal god all on his own. (Clavicus vile says the db is half as powerful as him while he himself is at half his normal power)
Dragon born is practically a demi god lore wise with all he can do.
I thought the tavern owner was so open with his anti ulfric feelings to draw out anyone else that felt the same. Perhaps those very same people on the dungeons. This would also explain why he hasn’t been arrested
That would explain the elaborate attic display. Lull potential threats into a false sense of security.
I have a mystery - what was a group of Stormcloaks led by Ulfric Stormcloak doing near Darkwater Crossing? It must've been something more than just patrolling, because their leader was present.
And, considering that Darkwater Crossing is part of the Stormcloak territory, what were the Imperials doing there as well? Did a spy tell them that Ulfric Stormcloak is going to be at Darkwater Crossing?
By the way, most people assume that your character is arrested while trying to cross the Cyrodiil-Skyrim border. But the Imperials arrested the protagonist along with the Stormcloaks, so the protagonist must have been near Darkwater Crossing at the time they were arrested.
As to why the Imperials took them to Helgen to be executed, Helgen is the nearest Imperial-controlled town.
And they probably arrested Lokir in a different ambush near the Skyrim-Hammerfell border.
Probably looking to talk with red guards for an alliance to help em win the war
Lokir was no way near the hammer fell border, he says if he stolen that horse he could have been "half" way to hammerfell

Symbolically, a bear is a loner that parallels the Stormcloaks' aim to be independent. And the blue colour fits Ulfric's cool demeanour. Solitude used a red wolf that prefers alliance and the red colour fits Elisif's impulsiveness.
Cool demeanor? He literally has like three outbursts before the leave council even starts in the main quest.

I feel like the Stormcloak could take on the Dominion, because for the Stormcloaks to even start bringing up that plan you'd have to make the dragonborn side with them. And the last dragonborn is borderline a god by the end.
If your plan depends on some godlike being your slave voluntarily, it's not a good plan at all. Even Frodnar can conquer Tamriel if the dragonborn helped
they only need hammerfell and highrock by their side to demolish the aldmeri dominion
Maybe they could if they had better armor and weapons.
@@heartmint7364 I picture it as a first step to having a dragonborn emperor again.
Wrong. The Coming war with the elves would leave Skyrim outnumbered without the help of the empire
Does anyone else rewatch all these EpicNate videos every couple years when they get back into Skyrim (yet again)? I forget these tidbits and enjoy being reminded of them.
I would love a simple 5 greatest skeletal poses or something. Every playthrough I find skeletons reaching for coin purses or crushed under rocks and carts, my favorite is still the poor guy tied to a brick at the bottom of a lake. ♥️
The Stormcloaks going on the offensive is possibly a sound plan. Since Skyrim would lack the man power to be skilled defenders, an offensive revolving guerilla tactics may work better. Also the Thalmor have forces across Tamirel possibly strecthing their forces thin especially on the isles
Guerilla tactics require stealth, and nords are huge bearded pale bois. Them trying to be stealthy is like a high elf trying to use a greatsword without pulling a muscle
Probably the best hope for the Stormcloaks is if Ulfric and/or the Dragonborn pass on their knowledge of the Thu'um to them.
I also think I heard somewhere that Thalmor forces are weakening due to civil and political unrest in the Dominion
Offensive revolving guerilla tactics is just not going to work. Trying to do that on environment and nature that is on the other side of the continent where enemy lives means enemy knows how to live on the land while you do not. Also sending troops and material through Cyradil is going to be hard.
@@masaheimoi You don't get it. The point is that stormcloaks ando nords use guerrilla in skyrim just like red guards do in hammerfell and debilitate the thalmor making more time to regroup and upgrade their army
Ulfric being a traditionalist, I'd like to imagine that what he means by rebuilding Skyrim is reclaiming the heritage; returning to the ways of Kyne and practicing her gift, grooming new tongues the likes of those that slaughtered the Falmer & Ayelid murderers & tyrants in days past, and even bringing forth the clever-men to dismantle elven magic
Ulfric's hardly a traditionalist. Half his supporters fight for him because he fights to restore Talos.
Man is a walking contradiction.
One thing I recently noticed that doesn't make sense to me is that during the Civil War questline, Imperial Legion soldiers will shout "Send Ulfric my regards!" even in the earlier encounters when Ulfric is very much alive. "Send my regards" is typically something you say about someone who is dead when you are about to kill someone else.
Im German and The Title says: So Young and already with the Storm Cloaks.

Yes, "So jung und schon bei den Sturmmänteln?" (trans: "So young and already in the stormcloaks?") is the German dubbing for "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?" but it is translated that way because in German an actual translation is too wordy for scene in the movie, so they shortened it up and took the hit on an inaccurate translation.
"Bist du nicht ein bisschen zu kurz für einen Sturmtruppler?" directly translated "Are you not a little too short for a Stormtrooper?"
They could've dubbed it "Bist du nicht ein bisschen klein .." which is imo the correct translation. Not the word-by-word translation but that's what she basically says..
You are germans
@@TheRealFogger kurz = short; referring to height or lengtht; klein = little or small, refrring to overall size of the object.
They are only interchangeable in a limited way.
Yeah true but i rarely heard an english speaking person say "Aren't you a little small". When talking about peoples sizes you take short usually i guess, but i could be wrong, it's a regional thing or i have just weird friends in the states ;-)
Yes, I blinked and said, "Ein Moment, bitte" when I heard the narrator's explanation of the German "translation" into an English-spoken Star Wars line. German is a very specific language, while words in English tend to be more interchangeable. To treat German like English is to set yourself up for some hilarious situations.
Edit:Adding Suggestion - Hidden quests you may have missed. Some of them you've covered in details, but not all.
Ulfric's aggressiveness is enhanced by Galmor. That man is a warmonger. Frankly, they are incredibly short-sighted. Ulfric forgets just how many will be needed to face the Thalmor. He should remember the losses from before. Though, I think his ego and Galmor's mouth feed him to make these unwise decisions. The capture, torture, and the mental strain related have messed him up, darkened his outlook and clouded his mind. If he had at least one or two more level heads around him, things would be quite different. They would point out things like - the cost. He's not got the type of money needed to fund a war against the Thalmor and likely never will. Wars are expensive, and I guarantee he doesn't realize they just can't make it work. The Empire, however, has pretty deep pockets. Of course punishing people for following one diety or another is wrong, but he could discourage people from reporting others and/or require all Thalmor must be escorted to disallow them from randomly grabbing people without proof. It would stop most of the thing that is the most egregious and feeding the anger.
He actually never calls himself High King, other people do, even at the end of the Civil War he says "there will be an election"
...so he DID assassinate Torygg. In his own words, and *twice* no less... Hmm.
@@litewave5186 but what does assassination mean towards anything? You can assassinate a ruler and not have the intention to replace them with yourself. He actually states that he had respected Torygg but disagreed with his political stance. That stance got Ulfric arrested in Markarth, then when he was in jail his father died and he missed the opportunity to say goodbye to him. So his responsibiles went from drinking, fighting, and having fun to being a Jarl. When he spoke out against Torygg's decision to outlaw Talos, someone he was raised to believe was a God, it forced both into a position they had no other option but to duel for their honor. You can duel and still respect the other person, the only problem was Ulfric was stronger and had a weapon Torygg didn't, the thuum. He used it and killed him easily, but he claims he didn't do it for personal glory, but because it was for honor. He doesn't strive to be king but wouldn't deny the people that if thats what they decided they wanted. He was a man of the people but the imperials instead wanted to persecute the people for having beliefs and did whatever the AD wanted. Ulfric in my opinion was a honorable person and did what he felt he needed to, to help his people. He even put his life on the line multiple times to do that, Torygg was a good man too but was misguided, he wanted an end to the war and unfortunately didn't do the right thing by his people but did it to protect them, knowing full well it would not go over in his favor
@@dominicawesomenessnettles The Imperials don't want to help the Thalmor, but for the sake of "living to fight another day", they cooperate, despite also hating them. And Ulfric is the reason the Thalmor are there in the first place, being called an (unwilling) pawn to Elenwen herself. The same applies to Tullius. If Ulfic had merely approached Torygg they MAY or may NOT have come to an agreement on how to fight the Thalmor with the Empire-- we just don't know and ultimately it's up to player interpretation, as with (I think) all of the mainline Elder Scrolls games.
@@litewave5186 they did get together and discuss it before the duel, they stated they did what they could to come to an understanding because they used to be friends and fought side by side for awhile but nothing worked and both felt a duel was the only way to work things out. Torygg agreed to it. It wasn't like Ulfric went there and shouted him to death when he had his back turned. He faced him, both had weapon in hand, but Ulfric used his thuum and killed him.
@@dominicawesomenessnettles No one says both of them had weapon in hand, as far as we really know, Torygg could've just been unsheathing blade when Ulfric shouted him down and then killed him.
Having just gotten back into Skyrim during sheltering, these videos have been everything. Thank you for them. I have a very luddite question: how does he capture the freeze frame images of battle/gameplay and have basically rotating views of them?
Free camera view / mod. You can pause the game and whip around any angle on the screen and from various fields of view.
You forgot to mention a lack of mages for the stormcloaks.
Also for the Imperials.
There's a good number of Imperial battlemages in Helgen. Too bad they didn't really use them in the civil war questline.
@@sunfyre4705 Imperial Battlemages should be in the game, but dunno Bethesda cut all of em, you can check it in creation kit there are should be a bunch of unused Battlemages npc
The Nords don’t like magic which is why the Stormcloaks wouldn’t have any battle mages.
J 19 Then why Jarls who side whit Ulfric and Ulfric himself have mages of the court?
Early to the game for once.
Need to think of a Skyrim pun.
Um, glad to see you're finally awake?
Got caught in a drunken ambush, just like us. (drank too much mead with juniper berries)
When playing a relatively fervent Stormcloak character, I always make sure to put a sword through Ambarys Rendar's chest, and I would recommend others do the same.
The Ice Wraith test is more because you were a prisoner in Helgen, and they want to test your mettle before recruiting a former criminal
It was also a coming of age ritual for ancient nords
After years of playing Skyrim and siding with Ulfric, today I learned Ulfric’s last name is Stormcloak.

Wh... how?😂
The biggest surprise in this video for me is that there was a temple of the divines. I had no idea that it even existed and I’ve probably been to solitude thousands of times.
Yeah it’s a little out of the way
Well, if the Stormcloaks have the Dragonborn on their side, attacking the Thalmor on their own turf might not be as outlandish as you'd think, given they can take out an entire Thalmor fortress singlehanded.
The issue with that is that the Dragonborn is, alas, just one person. Granted an endgame Dragonborn is -very- powerful, not unbeatable but certainly very powerful. But the problem is that they can only be in one place at a time, and the simplest strategy to handle that would be to just...not fight them head on. You have to bear in mind that the Dominion's army was large enough to engage and best the entirety of the Imperial one, the Imperial army being drawn from multiple provinces of Tamriel. By contrast, the Stormcloak army can recruit and gain supplies from Skyrim, which is less than ideal.
The practical up shot of this is that the Dominion possesses the sheer numbers to simply slow down the Dragonborn and avoid directly engaging where ever they are, while other Dominion forces can outflank the Dragonborn's army or simply attack places where they arent. They might never achieve a crushing tactical victory, but a strategic one is well within their grasp.

I've been exploring Skyrim, attempting to find a dungeon I, in my thousands of hours of gameplay, have never cleared, and picking up every single book I can find. When I get done clearing every dungeon on the map in both Skyrim and Solstheim, I'm going to build a library and sit down and read every single book I've collected to try and learn more about the lore in the game.
If you just want the text then you can find out the IDs and spawn them in the game. It'll save countless hours and you won't miss a single one.

We can only hope...
10 years in the future, the Empire beat the Stormcloaks so they went back to building up forces against the Thalmor, the Blade's headquarters have still went undetected and they have started to become a real problem against the thalmor. You come in as the second war begins against the damn el... I mean Thalmor you get beaten in battle along with your legion and left for dead. The map could be all of Cyrodil, maybe some of Hammerfell and High-Rock. We could have a war system like Skyrim was supposed to have only more in depth with even forts being target of huge dramatic cinematic battles. We could have a politcal part of the main quest where we have to pursuede the kings of High Rock to help us and Hammerfell to join the fight. For the final main quest chain we could invade the Thalmor capital in Summerset Isles. We would have the normal Daedric sidequests and for one of the DLCs we could go to what ever realm Umbra ( the sword from Oblivion apparently broke free form Clavicus by time Skyrim happened I just learned about a month ago) has created for himself. We could see what how Kvatch has recovered. And so forth.
