• Posted by TwistedOrthrus March 6, 2015 - 1,199 views

  This is the first of a new type of daily feature submitted by the hosts of the Workshop group to showcase some its successes that have gone from work in progress, to completed product. This week we will be featuring the a lore article produced by Phil, Asks many Questions, Gregonav Acquiane and Golden Fool:  Legendary Figures: Ulfric Stormcloak

  The article goes into detail on everything about Ulfric from his childhood, right up to the start of the civil war. Here is one section about Ulfric and Balgruuf I found particularly interesting: 

  The way each jarl describes High Hrothgar as "disconnected" hints at a conversation between the two future leaders at some point in the past.  I propose that it was Balgruuf's jealousy of Ulfric being chosen as the new Greybeard which prompted his own pilgrimage and bitter attitude to the Jarl of Windhelm later in life. If Whiterun, with it's legendary claim as home of the Companions and equally symbolic Skyforge, had joined Ulfric's side in the war, Skyrim might have avoided such a bloody conflict altogether.

  This is a highly enjoyable read and the authors would love to here your opinion so make sure to check out the main post linked above!
