Stormcloaks, purely from an ethical point of view.. Not a chance in hell would I side with the guys who constantly betray the people they're apparently supposed to protect. Let's not forget the only reason the civil war began in the first place was because the Empire used the nords of Skyrim to take back the reach in return for free worship of Talos, only to be screwed over.. Nostalgia about Talos and HIS Empire isn't worth it, the current Empire is but a shadow of it's former self ripe with corruption from the very top. The nord people are very proud too, the whole argument about the Empire being better in the long run doesn't matter, a race as proud and stubborn as the nords would rather die fighting for what they believe in than live in fear having elves dictate the fate of men. To me it's about freedom to live as you please, not living just to prolong living, so screw the cowardly Empire who abandon the very founding traditions just so they can rule a bit longer.
The Civil War began, actually, because the Thalmor set it up, and the Stormcloaks walked right into the trap.
The Empire are puppets, they do what they're told at every corner. They promised Ulfric and his followers free worship after the incident, then locked them all up because they were scared of the Elves, lol.. Betraying there own people, the men that saved there skins in the Great War just to keep the Elves happy, the same Elves that want all men enslaved. And the book 'The Bear of Eastmarch', full of propaganda that the Forsworn them selves don't even admit to being true. Says a lot really, the oh so great Empire, the ones keeping the dominion 'out' of Skyrim, couldn't even take back the Reach without Ulfric and his militia, and betraying them after, yet we're supposed to believe they're the ones to save the race of men? They can't save them selves without abandoning the foundations of there own Empire, I have very little faith they're capable of saving Tamriel.
