The Stormcloaks are a faction of rebels featured in
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. They are a group of
Nords who believe that
Skyrim should no longer belong to the crumbling Empire. They are led by
Ulfric Stormcloak, the
Jarl of
Windhelm [1], who assassinated the high king of Skyrim, and are opposed by the
Imperial Army, which is commanded by
General Tullius. They follow guerrilla hit-and-run tactics to overwhelm the Imperial armies and primarily rely on the use of offensive magic such as
Destruction spells in combat. They are against all who have any ties to the Imperials and as such hate groups like the Battle-Born. In a fight, a legion soldier seems to be more powerful than a Stormcloak, but the overwhelming masses of their armies balance that out. Little more is known of them however.
The Imperial Army or Imperial Legion, is one of the main factions within
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The Imperial Army are the enemies of the
Stormcloaks. The Imperial Army in Skyrim is currently led by
General Tullius. During the 4th era the Imperial Army asked the
Dovahkiin to join the Imperial army to help crush the Stormcloaks. They strongly believe that Skyrim should stay part of the Empire.
