Where is ulfric stormcloak

You will then have two more questions to choose from that you can ask Ulfric about. You can ask him if Arngeir is one of the Greybeards, which will have him respond: "Yes.

The oldest and most powerful, although he may not seem so. I doubt he's forgiven me for leaving. And for Using Shouts for anything but worship of Kynareth. Ulfric will reveal to you that the same rules don't apply to you: "You're Dragonborn. The rules don't apply to you. You can Shout the way dragons do They always hope to teach the Dragonborn to respect the Way of the Voice as they do.

They never fully succeed. You'll have to make your own decision. It's a beautiful philosophy, but outside the seclusion of High Hrothgar, I was never able to hold to it. Although I rarely use my training. The Greybeards believe the Voice should be used only for worship of Kynareth. I have Not all of Arngeir's lecturing was wasted, it seems. At the start of the game, you will be a prisoner of the Empire traveling in a carriage to the executioner's block in Helgen along with Lokir , Ralof , and Ulfric.

When you arrive in Helgen, General Tullius will approach Ulfric Stormcloak before the executions begin:. Tullius: "Ulfric Stormcloak. Some here in Helgen call you a hero.

But a hero doesn't use a power like the Voice to murder his king and usurp his throne. When Alduin arrives in Helgen during the execution, you will find Ulfric within the nearby tower along with Ralof and several injured Stormcloaks :. Ralof: "Jarl Ulfric! What is that thing? Could the legends be true?

We need to move now! Should you stand by Ulfric after this conversation, he will urge you to get moving: "Up the stairs! Up the tower! Before the dragon brings down the whole tower! Up the stairs! If you join Ralof in the escape from Helgen through Helgen Keep , he will suggest speaking to Ulfric in Windhelm about joining the Stormcloaks.

In order to join the Stormcloaks, you are directed to speak with Ulfric Stormcloak himself. Upon entering the Palace of the Kings for the first time, you can overhear a conversation he has with his second-in-command, Galmar Stone-Fist , about Jarl Balgruuf the Greater of Whiterun :. Galmar : "Balgruuf won't give us a straight answer. He'll come around. We've intercepted couriers from Solitude. The Empire's putting a great deal of pressure on Whiterun.

They all know that. Whoever we replace them with will need the support of our armies. If we can take the city without bloodshed all the better. But if not We know the price of freedom. The people are still weighing things in their hearts. We are their families. Tell me, Galmar, why do you fight for me? If not for me, what then? Are we not one in this? I fight for their wives and children, who's [ sic ] names I heard whispered in their last breaths.

I fight for we few who did come home, only to find our country full of strangers wearing familiar faces. I fight for my people impoverished to pay the debts of an Empire too weak to rule them, yet brands them criminals for wanting to rule themselves! I fight so that all the fighting I've already done hasn't been for nothing. I fight And that's why you will be High King. But the day words are enough, will be the day when soldiers like us are no longer needed. But in the meantime, we have a war to plan.

Approaching Ulfric afterwards, he will remark: "Only the foolish or the courageous approach a Jarl without summons Ah yes, you were with us at Helgen. Destined for the chopping block if I'm not mistaken. I hope that's true. He's a damn good man. But he hasn't returned yet, so I'll have to wait for his account. Not everyone can say they made it out of Helgen. Seems we're all branded villains these days So long as your criminal past stays in the past, and you fight for me with honor and integrity, we'll welcome you into our ranks.

If you approach Ulfric anytime before you've completed the task, he will tell you: "I believe Galmar gave you something to do. So go do it. After you have returned from Serpentstone Isle, if you approach Ulfric, he will exclaim: "You're alive! I'm impressed! Galmar had his doubts about you, but I knew you'd pull through. You should speak with him. He's going to need your help. Ulfric : "Tell me again why we're wasting time and dwindling resources chasing a legend.

We don't even know it exists! They don't all support you. We should risk letting those milkdrinkers put Thorryg [ sic ] 's woman on the throne? She'll hand Skyrim over to the elves on a silver plate. The crown would legitimize your claim. And it'll be the symbol of the righteousness of our cause. Think about it. The Jagged Crown! It heralds back to a time before jarls and moots.

Back to the time when a king was a king because his enemies fell before him, and his people rose because they loved him. Skyrim needs that king. You will be that king, Ulfric. You must be. I'll send the Unblooded here with you. Fancy a crawl through a moldering dungeon to see if you can't stir up Galmar's Jagged Crown? You'll see. You are now told to meet at Korvanjund. If you approach Ulfric before you complete the quest, he will appear annoyed and say: "Why are you still here? You're supposed to be at Korvanjund, proving Galmar right, or proving him wrong.

Once you return to Ulfric after acquiring the Jagged Crown, he will remark: "Damn him - the old bear was right! Did you run into any trouble? What were they doing there? Imperial spies are everywhere. Never forget that I trust you gave them a thrashing? Now then I'm glad you're here. I have a message I need delivered to the Jarl of Whiterun. Deliver this axe to Balgruuf the Greater.

An axe. How long have you been in Skyrim. Give the man my axe. If he keeps it, I will bide my time. If he returns it to you, it means war. There are but a few simple truths behind one warrior giving another his axe. Balgruuf will know my meaning. Once you return to the Palace of Kings along with Ulfric's axe, he will exclaim: "Then I was wrong about him.

Ulfric : "You were right Galmar. We're ready, Ulfric Whenever you are. But neither is every man able to give that order when he must. But you are that man, Ulfric. You've been that man before, and you'll be him again.

And these men and women - they call themselves Stormcloaks because they believe in you They're the meanest, toughest sons of bitches Skyrim has to offer.

And they want this. They want this as much as you do. Perhaps they want it more. Whiterun's army will no doubt be bolstered with Legionnares [ sic ]. And those walls around Whiterun are old, but they still stand. And I might be old myself, but I'll kick those damn walls down with my bare feet! This is it.

Ulfric will then turn to you and give you your orders: "Make haste to our camp in Whiterun. I want you on the front lines. I have a feeling about you. Your place is on that battlefield. I need you there. Once the Stormcloaks have successfully taken Whiterun, you may return to Windhelm and report back to Ulfric.

This ends the current quest and begins the quest Liberation of Skyrim. Liberation of Skyrim is an umbrella quest for several smaller quests, all leading towards victory for the Stormcloaks. Ulfric Stormcloak will hand you the objectives while Galmar will provide the quests. The order, or even the existence, of the possible ten quests will change depending on your choices during Season Unending , if that quest occurs. See this table for details. The following quests are the ones that happen if you complete the Civil War without Season Unending.

Once you return to Ulfric with the good news, he will say: "We've driven the Imperials out of Whiterun. This is good.

Very good. We now control the center. It's a powerful position. One I aim to keep. We'll call you Ice-Veins now. For the thick blood of our land has seeped into your heart. But I also want you to find our hidden camp in Falkreath. Galmar will have special tasks for you, and will need you when we liberate the capital.

When the Stormcloaks have successfully taken over Fort Neugrad , you are to report back to Ulfric in Windhelm with your progress. Ulfric will tell you: "I'm proud we liberated Falkreath from the Empire.

In many ways it's the heart and soul of Skyrim. Not to mention its rather strategic position. Some brothers have taken to calling you Bone-Breaker, evidence of your ferocity and determination. A fitting name.

So we shall all call you thus. The war demands so much from us, and we give all we have to it and to the people And I need capable and loyal warriors close at hand. So I'd like to offer you a home in Windhelm. Speak with my steward who'll make the arrangements. They need every able body they can muster. When the Stormcloaks have successfully taken over Fort Sungard after the completion of Compelling Tribute , you are to report back to Ulfric in Windhelm with your progress. He will tell you: "Now that the Empire has been driven from the Reach we can put a stop to the raping of her silver mines.

That silver belongs in Skyrim. Multiples of our enemies are buried in an avalanche of pain and retribution by your hand. I shall call you Snow-Hammer now. You show great passion for battle, and compassion for those we fight for.

One very easy-to-miss aspect of Ulfric's life is how he managed to learn how to shout, as it is clear that he isn't Dragonborn and had to learn the skill somewhere. With some digging, the player can discover that, as a child, Ulfric was chosen by the Greybeards to train on High Hrothgar with the idea that he would become a Tongue in the future.

Unfortunately for the Greybeards, their plan didn't come to fruition and Ulfric left while he was still young to fight in the Great War. After leaving High Hrothgar, under the impression that his skills would be best used in service to the Empire, Ulfric joined the Imperial Legion, where he became a Legionnaire and fought back against the Aldmeri Dominion for some time.

This may be one reason why the Imperials are so eager to take Ulfric and his Stormcloaks down, as he took many skills and knowledge from the Imperial Legion to his cause that could have made him a dangerous individual if left unchecked. After fighting in the Great War, Ulfric was later captured by the Thalmor and interrogated for information on how to take down certain Imperial strongholds, as the elves believed that he had information valuable to them that they could use against their enemies.

However, he proves to be far more useful to their cause than either side would realize at the time, as they chose to release Ulfric instead of killing him, knowing that he would stir up trouble in Skyrim once he discovered how his people were being treated. After making Ulfric believe that he was solely responsible for the downfall of several key Imperial lines of defense, the Thalmor cut Ulfric loose in Skyrim, hoping that he would try to redeem himself and cause trouble for his people.

Instead, Ulfric saw how his people were being subjugated and suffering, taking all of the skills he learned while training as a Greybeard and a Legionnaire and forming the Stormcloak Rebellion, something that worked in the Thalmor's favor by thinning the numbers of the armies of men. Unfortunately for Ulfric, his father, Jarl Hoag Stormcloak, died while he was imprisoned by the Thalmor and missed his father's funeral entirely.

Thankfully, Ulfric was still able to deliver a eulogy to his late father by having a letter smuggled out of his prison and delivered to Windhelm. When he returned to Windhelm after being set free, he was crowned the Jarl of Windhelm, though he was a more strict ruler than his father and banned the Argonians from living in his city shortly after taking power.

One of these factions is the Thalmor, whose agents argue with General Tullius to try and take Ulfric into their custody instead. However, this interaction has a much darker intent than control and torture. This is where players can obtain the Thalmor Dossier on Ulfric Stormcloak and determine for themselves what his motivations are in the war. The Thalmor in charge of writing the profile describes Ulfric as being generally uncooperative to direct contact, but that Ulfric continues to fulfill the directives of the Aldmeri Dominion by initiating the Skyrim Civil War.

Aside from attempting to halt his execution, the Thalmor have been relatively hands-off with Ulfric and his war, though they are interested in continuing it. From the contents of the Thalmor Dossier on Ulfric Stormcloak, it appears the Jarl of Windhelm may have once been willingly working alongside the Thalmor but abandoned allegiance rather quickly.
