Cool. Keep working on them, of course.

Oh, right. Cool.

Let them go, a bit sadly.

Because a peaceful and relatively strong Kingdom controls half of it and is willing to trade, while the people don't want to be ruled by the Empire. Fighting a difficult war against someone who doesn't have to be an enemy for cities which don't want to be under your control is against common sense.

And?

Kraldar would do a good job, I believe. I couldn't manage the same in Dawnstar, could I?

Neat. Give them a place in the Guild Houses along with all the other Guilds. Invite the Fighters' Guild into Skyrim - my part of it at least. If they accept, reorganise the Companions to be far more about exploration, discovery, upholding Skyrim's values, protecting people in need and being repaid in favours, helping the City Guards, while also occasionally being hired muscle to kill an animal or something. However, teh Fighters' Guild would be far more mecenaries, being paid to do their stuff and also including magic. They'd also be allowed places in all my Guild Houses, but I would request they take part in my Children of the Guild system. Also, if I haven't already said it, the Guilds take in babies that are left on their doorstep with the morning milk if a mother can't support their child.

Nice, nice.

So I get the Stormcloaks' cause, I think that 90% of them are good people and honourable. However, Ulfric Stormcloak was a power-hungry, racist, dishonorable, uncaring son of a bitch. They also had too much hate for the Imperials - they were weakening Skyrim and the Empire and Tamriel by insisting on fighting them. There was no reasoning with Ulfric - instead I had to remove his head, but in an honourable way. The Empire is chill, but support corruption, have torture chambers and don't let people worship Talos. We shouldn't fight them, but we shouldn't join the Empire either. We can be friends, if they're willing, but I won't join them -  at least, not yet. (less contradictory than most political parties.)
