kill Ulfric and become High King?? that's not how it works. since the High King is already dead, there is no monarch. u kill Ulfric, u will have the entire rebel side of Skyrim after ur head. same goes with Elisif. u kill her, the Empire side of Skyrim will be after ur head. how I see it, is Skyrim should go into peace. talk about splitting Skyrim into 2. Western Skyrim (Imperial) and Eastern Skyrim (Stormcloak) and Whiterun hold will be the DMZ of the 2 territories. OR it could be a compromise; Skyrim would be independent, Ulfric would be on the throne *because Elisif would just be a puppet to the empire and Skyrim would be unofficially still be part of the Empire* BUT, Skyrim will be an ally of the Empire. have trade, open borders, a defensive alliance. the thing is, the Empire may lose Skyrim, which is the biggest source of silver for their government, but that's about it. they would still have the nords to be there to fight along side the imperial legion as a separate army. the only thing lost is the money they get. Skyrim has always been self sufficient. having its own food, soldiers, trade, tax, government system. plus, it would mean more imperial troops garrisoned in Cyrodiil which means itll be more difficult for the dominion to take Cyrodiil. Skyrim will be able to use its silver that its able to keep now that the Empire isn't taking it away and sending it to the Imperial City, and use it to fund its economic and military build up. plus, the title of High King would actually mean something other than "Imperial Puppet"
