Skyrim Civil War



The Skyrim Civil War, called the Stormcloak Rebellion by the Empire, and frequently shortened to simply the Civil War is an ongoing civil war in the province of Skyrim. It began several years prior to the death of High King Torygg, but worsened after he was slain by the Jarl of Windhelm, Ulfric Stormcloak. According to Igmund, the Jarl of Markarth, the war "truly started" after Ulfric and his militia (the Stormcloaks) were imprisoned.
