The Stormcloaks are a Rebel faction led
by Ulfric
Stormcloak that you have the option
of joining. They seek to
defeat the Imperial Legion that controls most of Skyrim, end the Empire's rule over the land, and
turn Skyrim into an independent country. They primarily rely on the use of
axes
and other melee weapons in combat, as well as hit-and-run tactics to
overwhelm
the larger Imperial armies. Most of the eastern half of Skyrim is
currently
under Stormcloak control, with the critical Whiterun hold in central Skyrim remaining
nominally neutral but friendly to Imperial traffic as Skyrim
opens
Joining:
If you chose to follow Ralof to escape Helgen during the quest Unbound and then follow him to Riverwood, Ralof will invite you to join
the Stormcloaks and direct you to Windhelm. In addition, Stormcloak soldiers
encountered across Skyrim will likewise invite you to join their side, and the
quest will be added to the log if it hasn't been
earlier.
Regardless of whether or not you
have previously received the quest, you can
travel to the Palace of the Kings in Windhelm and talk to Galmar
Stone-Fist and request to join the
Stormcloaks, at which point
Galmar will give you an initial test, as
detailed at Joining
the
Stormcloaks.
You can join
the Imperial Legion and fight against the Stormcloaks
instead. Completing the Joining the Legion quest will cause you to
automatically fail the Joining the Stormcloaks quest. However, the next quest
for both sides is to find the Jagged Crown (Imperial or Stormcloaks). If you choose to bring it to the
other party instead, you can still join
them.
Quests:Joining
the Stormcloaks: Prove yourself
worthy of being a
Stormcloak rebel. ( 10 pts/Bronze)
The Jagged Crown: Find this crown for Ulfric Stormcloak.
Message to Whiterun: Deliver an axe to
the Jarl of Whiterun.
Battle for Whiterun: Take Whiterun in the name of the
Stormcloaks.
(radiant)
Liberation
of Skyrim is the overarching quest
governing the
individual battles of the war. Each Imperial-controlled hold in
Skyrim must
be liberated, one at a time. Which holds are Imperial-controlled
depends
upon negotations during Season Unending, and therefore only a subset of
the following quests need to be completed. See Liberation
of Skyrim for more details.
