Skyrim where to find jarl ulfric

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.

You are becoming indispensable to our cause. We do what we do out of love for our brothers and sisters. Here, take this as a token of such love reciprocated. Asking him what will happen next, he will reply: "You are needed in Hjaalmarch.

There is much to be done. Edit: It's the newest update. I am using multiple mods but none should be affecting the storyline. They're just graphics improver and follower mods. Top Voted Answer. This awsner is very old but this problem occurred to me aswell today Are you playing the most updated versiom of the game? There is a glitch in earlier versions of the special edition where NPC's permanently disappear and random quest markers are known to happen as a result.

Try chedking for a new update. User Info: HanbeiKliesen. Hi, I have the same problem. Did you fix this problem? Would that work on serana as well because she tends to disappear quite often. We'd be within spitting distance of the capital.

The Empire still underestimates the force of our cause. It will be their undoing. And on that day, the heroes of Sovngarde will march with us.

And the Emprire will fall to its knees in fear. We'll wrest it from them soon enough. We must. Its central position is key. But if he wants to throw his men away, I'll gladly accept that gift. He's pocketed men in the Rift. It's dangerous having Imperials skulking around on the southern border of Eastmarch. We must take it back! So I'm sending a campaign up there to take it back.

Losing the port of Dawnstar is lessened only by the threat of Imperial forces being so close to Windhelm. What do you know about Shouts? I trained with the Greybeards at High Hrothgar when I was a boy. The Way of the Voice is an ancient, spiritual form of magic in which you project your vital essence into a "thu'um" or Shout. Most people would need to train for years before they could even attempt a single Shout.

The Dragonborn is different - you have an inborn ability to Shout, the same way dragons are said to. The old tales tell of Dragonborn heroes who slew dragons and took their power. It seems those tales are true. With the dragons returning, and now a Dragonborn appearing They're masters of the Way of the Voice - of Shouting. It's a great honor for them to summon you. They speak to very few - in fact, they hardly speak at all. They taught me how to Shout. They chose me when I was just a lad.

It was a great honor, of course. I was to become a Greybeard myself. I spent almost ten years at High Hrothgar, learning the Way of the Voice. Then the Great War came I couldn't stand missing it. I often think about High Hrothgar. It's very But that's why I couldn't stay, and why I couldn't go back. I suppose the Greybeards care about Skyrim's troubles, in their way, but I needed to do something about it.

I'm sure Arngeir would call it one of my failings. 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. 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. 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.

If you change your mind, speak with Galmar. What does bring you to me? What do they want? And the dragon attacks are a growing plague. But the political situation is still delicate. Not all the Jarls are fully committed to supporting me as High King.

I can't afford to appear weak. I can't agree to this unless Tullius himself will be there. Sometimes the grubby business of politics clouds my eyes. Besides, it will be good to see High Hrothgar again. Alduin has returned! Persuade "Alduin? The World-Eater of song and legend?

If that's true Even Tullius may be forced to talk sense in the face of such a threat. If that's true, we're all doomed anyway. And if it isn't true Either way, I don't see the use in talking to the Empire. Only if spoken to Tullius prior " Good. We still hold half of Skyrim despite everything the Empire could throw at us.

I doubt the Empire has the stomach for much more bloodletting. Without participaring in the civil war " " Good. Maybe he's realized he's beaten. The way things are going, we'll be knocking at the gates of Solitude itself before too long. If the Stormcloaks are winning the war " " Good. They've had their victories, but Tullius is no fool. The Empire can't afford to keep this up much longer. If the Empire is winning the war " So you'll come to the peace council? I'll give Tullius one more chance to quit Skyrim with his tail between his legs.

The other Jarls could take that as a sign of weakness. There's nothing to be gained by refusing the Greybeards' request. Let Tullius be the one to insult the Greybeards by refusing their summons.

Show up these Imperials for the foreigners they really are. And no doubt knows it. He's no fool, he'll come, if only to give his troops a chance to refit. But you're right.

Victory is within our grasp. We can afford to give the Empire one more chance to withdraw. If the Stormcloaks are winning the war " " Hmm. We could use the time to bring in new recruits.

Our losses have been heavy recently The Thalmor have no business here. This will set the tone for the whole negotiation. Elenwen should go. He'll have to give ground later. It feels like a mistake to me, but I'll bow to your judgment on this. Besides, Tullius doesn't really want her here either. We need to show Tullius we won't be pushed around. Tullius needs to know I won't be pushed around.

So tell us, what do you think Riften is worth? Whiterun seems like a better choice to me. From there we can threaten to undermine the whole Imperial position. This option does not appear in game " "In exchange for Riften, the jewel of Skyrim? How about the Reach? Gaining control of the silver mines would be invaluable. Persuade "I've never liked having the Imperials right on Windhelm's doorstep. Retaking Winterhold would help secure our supply lines Taking the Pale would stretch them pretty thin The whole south of Eastmarch would be open to Imperial attack.

I gave it to you. Although I'm beginning to wonder whose side you're really on. I thought you might be able to see past your Imperial loyalties in the interests of peace, but I guess not. You claim to be neutral, but it seems that you actually favor the Empire. But Tullius will need to offer a lot more if he wants me to give up Riften without a fight. I was starting to wonder whose side you were on here. You favor the Empire less than I feared.

Maybe we will be able to come to some agreement here after all. I've never liked having the Empire perched on my doorstep. And Riften would be easy to hold With Markarth in our hands, we'll be able to raid the Imperial supply lines out of Solitude Tullius isn't in any position to ask for Riften. Tullius is in no position to make demands.

And you call yourself a son Or daughter of Skyrim? Thank you. I was trying to reach a fair agreement. Now live with it. I'd like to join the Stormcloaks. I'm glad that your eyes have finally been opened to the Empire's true nature. There's always work for those willing to fight for Skyrim.

I'm loyal to the Empire. I thought your eyes had finally been opened to the Empire's true nature. Destined for the chopping block if I'm not mistaken. Only available if Ralof is followed during "Unbound. Seems we're all branded as criminals these days I'll get all the details from Galmar when he gets back. I hope it was worth it. Also, never doubt me, or Galmar. What were they doing there?

Imperial spies are everywhere, never forget that. I trust you gave them a thrashing? Yet you walk in here, and ask to join me. What are you playing at? I want to be a Stormcloak.

The crown belongs to you. What's your game? Why would Tullius waste resources getting the crown only to give it to me? Poisoned perhaps? He's not that cunning. I believe you. You aren't the first to turn away from the Empire in disgust. But remember - you're one of us now, forever. Whatever Imperial loyalties you may have had Now, to prove yourself to me, I have a task for you.

Take my axe, and deliver it to the Jarl of Whiterun. Remember that. What's this? You're quite brave to carry such a message. It's a pity you've chosen the wrong side You can return this axe to the man who sent it. And tell him he should prepare to entertain I expect a great deal of excitement in the city of Whiterun in the near future Why make war on your own people?

I must now show them the path that will lead us back to our strength. There is no progress without sacrifice. No wheat without threshing the chaff. The Empire and the Jarls who back them must be swept away. The people demand it. I demand it. True, I may meet my end in a dark alley with a dagger in my back. But the people have seen the truth, and they will not back down.

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. 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. Should I say anything to him? There are but a few simple truths behind one warrior giving another his axe.

Balgruuf will know my meaning. The Jarl of Whiterun is known for his temper. The Jarl of Whiterun returns your axe. Talos be with you! 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. They need every able body they can muster. There's much to be done. We're gathering for our final assault on Solitude. Report to our camp in Haafingar. A single truth-laden moment. What do you say? Do you want the honor?

This moment, we three, will be immortalized in song. Here, use my sword to do it. This moment will be immortalized in song. Make it a good kill. Come, the people await us. I'm no different than they are. But, I will honor your request. The gods know of your victories, and they themselves will glory in your deeds.

Come, at the very least walk with me. A man without doubts is a man without conscience. But rest assured.

We've won Skyrim's right to determine her own future. And for that, every Nord praises us. But I will heed your wishes. Make it quick, I'm a busy man. We'll wait for the Moot to name me High King. It'll be better for all that way. But, that doesn't mean I won't still start acting like it. There's much to do. The new Jarls need help building armies, and enforcing their right to rule. The Empire may try to reclaim Skyrim, and I need everyone ready for that. Though the biggest threat, of course, is the elves.

What more could I ask of you? No, you're free to roam. I suspect the gods have needs for you elsewhere. That said, some of the Legion's staunchest men have organized themselves, and are operating out of hidden military camps in the wilderness.

If you come across any Imperials in your travels, I expect you'll know what to do. The center of mankind. Because getting rid of the Empire was only half the problem. Soon, the elves will again seek to rule the world. We must ready ourselves to fight them. For it will be Skyrim that shall lead Tamriel in those dark days, when the fate of the world is finally determined.
