I can't find anything that indicates either was more powerful than the other. The Second Aldmeri Dominion controls more territory than the First (Elsweyr was an ally to the First but not a part of it.) Apparently the First Aldmeri Dominion's offensives were easily repelled by the Imperial Legion under Tiber Septim. The Imperial Legionnaires nicknamed them "Old Mary" for what the 1st Edition of the Pocket Guide to the Empire describes as "the womanly offensives of its Elven soldiers".
Those Talos worshippers are still alive and free. They should be grateful the Empire put up enough of a fight that the Dominion ends things with 'all right, that's enough. Just give us a bit of land and keep your people from worshiping Talos, and we'll call it even for now'. And did any of these people realize that a government can't really stop someone from believing? The Empire made and empty promise, and Ulfrics actions in Markrath forced their hand. As for racism, how many times do we have to go through this? Dunmer in the slums, Agronoians barred from the city gates, Kahjiit traders not allowed to trade in cities. All of this could go away if the natives were a bit nicer. Just ask Brunwulf Free-Winter.
The Argonians get to work at the port instead of being kicked out, the Dunmer get to live and work in the city, and in other cities both races not only co-exist with Nords, in some cases they hold very respectable positions (that Dunmer working the Black-Briar Meadery). As for the Kahjiit, they are allowed to trade, just not inside cities. Not ideal, but far from horrible as well.
You can think whatever you want but roughly half of them in Skyrim would disagree with you.
Ulfric is the chief enforcer of the law of Windhelm that restricts residence of the Dunmer to the Gray Quarter which is a form of insitutionalized racial segregation. As Jarl of Windhelm and East March he could rescind that law with a single edict yet he chooses to maintain and enforce it instead and has done so since the day he inherited the throne of East March from his father. If you don't think those kinds of actions are the actions of a racist then you don't have a firm grasp of what racism is. The only non-Nord that helps Ulfric is your character if you choose to join the Stormcloaks which fails to refute his racist actions, and you're not helping him "reclaim" Skyrim. That kind of statement presumes that Skyrim was taken from him and/or the Stormcloaks which isn't possible because, among other things, Skyrim has been part of the Empire for well over half a millenium.
No it is as racist as southern United States was circa the early 20th century. If that's acceptable to you so be it but it doesn't change the fact that it's racist.
Care to rephrase this so it's coherent and qualifies as actual English? Because otherwise it's just gibberish.
The Dunmer are literally by law not allowed to move out of the Grey Quarter, and when was the last time you've been to the docks? Those Argonians work all day, and then they sleep. Also, during a quest for the East Empire company, you find a logbook that says the Argonians are pimped Skooma and denied meals for 'laziness'.
Here's a third option. How about everyone fights the Thalmor together? They have to realize that group will make everyone suffer.
which half.. the dead ones? or the Tortured ones? One cannot be a Talos worshipper if they think that the empire did there job.. Thats almost like saying there is a jew who thinks the holocaust was necasary.. If they do than theyll end up dead inevitalably..
I help him reclaim it for the nords because another countries laws are being inforced on their soil.. Ulfric may be racist but so was George Washington (just saying)
Keep in mind this game is socially the middle ages.. For a town in the middle ages Windhelm is pretty tolerant.. aslo keep in mind that other parts of skyrim dont become racist if they are conquered by stormcloaks so if all of skyrim is Stormcloak than officially only the upperclass of one city in one hold is racist.. keep in mind in the early 20th century there was a little more than designated living places that made america racist.. The amount of racists present in an all Stormcloak skyrim is about equal to the percent of americans racist, beleive me, some americans are still racist
The problem with that is that the aldmeri dominion could crush the empire, if SKyrim is independent than those damn elves have no easy way to take skyrim and the empire would have to wait a while for the empire to build enough strenght to conquer the Thalmor, when that happens i am sure skyrim will rejoin the empire.
The ones that fight for or support the Imperial Legion. In case its escaped you the conflict is a civil war and there are just as many Nords that support and fight for the Empire as there are that support or fight for the Stormcloaks. Almost all Nords worship Talos and never stopped worshipping Talos after the signing of the White-Gold Concordat. You have to be blind to not see that's what's going on in the game.
Except it's absolutely nothing like saying that, which is why they won't end up dead "inevitalably"
He's not reclaiming it for the Nords. He doesn't represent the Nords. He only represents a particular faction of Nords. The laws of the Empire are the laws of Skyrim. Claiming to the contrary is akin to claiming that the laws of the United States are not the laws of Texas.
Thanks for conceding the point and abandoning your prior erroneous assertion (just sayin').
Contextually no it isn't. It's the only city in the province that segregates populations by race. That makes it the most intolerant capital city in the land.
