EVENT-The Stormcloaks have defeated the Empire in the Skyrim Civil War. All of Skyrim is under their control, and Ulfric's first act as the new High King is to declare war on the Thalmor, and has sacked their embassy and is slowly purging them from Skyrim. High Rock, now completely separated from Cyrodil, has declared themselves an autonomous kingdom, but remain loyal to the Empire. Relations between them and Hammerfell increase, and the Stormcloaks also align themselves with Hammerfell to an extent. With the Empire falling apart, they reconsider giving Orsimer provincial status to maintain friendly relations.

Mythrilheim has grown; You may now choose a new city to absorb.

Issue 11: With the Stormcloaks now in power in Skyrim, people in both nations ask if you might increase your relations beyond simple trading.

-A Nord liberator fresh from the battle of Solitude visits you at your court, "High King Ulfric Stormcloak would be most appreciative of an alliance. He does not wish Skyrim to stand alone, he wants unity a peace above all else. That is why I'm sure you will consider our request."

-A merchant who travels between your two countries is skeptical; "I'm not so sure that's a good idea. Joining Ulfric in earnest means having to fight in all his wars, and more than likely he's going to find someone to fight that we like, and the we'll suddenly be worst of enemies. We should keep our relations at arms length, that way we tend to our business and they tend to theirs."

-Finally, and angry Dunmer gives a speech in front of a number of other minority races, "How can we even consider becoming friends with the Stormcloaks when they treat our kind so poorly? They see us and the citizens of Mythrilheim as trash, so why in the world would we be joining them in the enforcement of their oppression? Perhaps their fight against the Empire was necessary, but I say until we convince them to clean up their act, we stop talking about this alliance non-sense."
