The Empire shouldn't have branded Ulfric a criminal so fast and let them hold the moot. Ulfric shouldn't have started a war on his own people.
The Jarl of Markarth shouldn't have offered free worship in exchange for taking back the city. The Empire shouldn't have accepted the harsh terms of the WGC. I think it is too much focus in how things should have been done instead of what did actually happen when it comes to these discussions. That might have resulted in civil war anyway, but we'll never know.Īnd had Ulfric openly asked Torygg to abandon the Empire he might have done that, but we'll never know because it didn't happen. If the imperials had not interfered, it would have gone to a moot.
Torygg was the imperial representative in Skyrim, and he accepted Ulfric's duel. You might as well say the empire started it with the WGC, and by not recognizing the outcome of Ulfric's duel with Torygg and allowing the Nords to choose their king their own way.
