You can get that revenge that you ve always wanted for them trying to behead you.
Imperial siding with stormcloaks.
In all seriousness when you choose stormcloak many things.
Ulfric s actions are to blame for at least one of the reasons he gives for the rebellion so the con for siding with the stormcloaks is that it aids the thalmor.
Stormcloaks have as opposed to imperials female guards.
Most groups were more motivated by the desire to stop the thalmor but liberal imperials were ever so slightly more motivated into siding with the empire because of the racism of the stormcloaks.
Your point boils down to imperial soldiers are expected to obey the empire s orders which couldn t be more obvious.
I think markarth is under threat because of the dodgey allegiance between the stormcloaks and the imperials there.
The imperials have been in skyrim for centuries.
The imperial legion see the stormcloaks as traitors for wishing to secede from the empire and ulfric s killing of high king torygg.
You see my character was a thief.
Markarth while officially owned by the imperials is in turmoil from corruption.
However the imperials and by proxy those in skyrim who are going along with the empire mostly because they want to keep their cushy lives and big houses have basically agreed to the practice even though in almost every elder scrolls game the pc has been tasked with fighting against the evils of slavery.
The stormcloaks may be racists but they aren t making slaves of people who disagree with them.
If ulfric had done the same as the high king and other jarls and just worshipped talos without making a fuss there would be no thalmor in skyrim.
While comparatively simple compared to the faction alignment systems of previous elder scrolls games choosing a side to take up arms for in skyrim s civil war can still.
The imperials who have dominance over tamriel believe that as a province of the empire skyrim should abide by its laws and customs.
But the king signed a peace treaty with their enemies to prevent war but also agreed to ban the worship of the nord s god talos.
This includes the outlawing of talos worship.
Conservative imperials were the least sensitive to racism and the most likely to be interested in keeping the empire together to defeat the thalmor.
I simply joined the stormcloaks because of a simple reason.
The forsworn invasions over the reach are due to the stormcloaks trying to take political hold over markarth without the citizens knowing about it.
Balgruuf the greater isn t being bullied by the legion into following the empire.
You re using oaths given by those serving in armies imperial stormcloak alike to prove a fallacy.
