A New Empire

A New Alliance

        The Jarls of Skyrim sat around the table of High Hrothgar, but something was wrong Jarl Elisif was replaced by Falk Firebeard who was now Jarl after Elisif decided to step down and move to Cyrodiil. "Thongvor, Falk how are the silver mines going, we need that silver for our economy if we ever hope to destroy the Thalmor" Skald yelled from across the table "They are going very well thank you, I trust your port trade are going very well." The jarls kept discussing their plans until Ulfric and Svalar walked in. "Jarls of Skyrim, I trust you know why we are here, we are hear to stop the Thalmor and their tyranny against Talos, but we need allies, we must seek out the people who hate the Thalmor as much as we do, we must first go to Hammerfell and eventually the nobles of High Rock will ally with us after we cut off trade flows fro the empire, then we will wait and gain  our strength before attacking Cyrodiil are we all clear, next morning Ulfric and I will make way for Sentinel to speak with the leaders of Hammerfell, court dismissed." A day had passed and Svalar and Ulfric were on a boat leaving Dawnstar on their way towards Hammerfell, Svalar approached Ulfric in his cabin next morning. "You called for me my king'' ''Yes Svalar, I need to inform you of something, last night when I slept I had a vision of a voice speaking to me, The voiced stated that he was Shor and he told me something I must tell you" "What is it my king you can tell me everything." "Ulfric took off the Jagged Crown and placed it on Svalar's head "Do not call me king, that title will soon belong to you, Shor told me that the Thalmor plan to attack Sentinel and I will be a victim of that attack" "Sir I can't rule Skyrim I don't know how and you were supposed to produce an heir" "I can't do that now, we will reach Hammerfell in a month I will teach you how, besides the people of Skyrim love you and will always obey you. Now go to sleep we will start your training tommorow." For the whole month Ulfric taught Svalar how to lead a council, be proper in court, now had to decide peace or war and how to make other decisions. A month later they reached Hammerfell, as they left the boat they were greeted by three Alik'r warriors with their swords drawn " Halt northerners, state your business or die" "We seek the counsel of  King Lematus, we seek an alliance." "Very well come with us" the redguard put his sword away and led him to the castle. As Svalar enterd the castle he found many warrior woman until he found the king decorated with jewels and gold "Ulfric Stormcloak, High King of Skyrim, to what do I owe this honor" "The honor is mine I, my general and I seek an alliance between our two nations and our warrior cultures." "This is an unexpected offer but I'm afraid I must decline... unless your general here can help we with something, there is a group in Stros M'kai who do not agree with my rule, if he can kill there leader and bring me his head this alliance will be established." "Agreed, Svalar you must do this alone, I must stay here" Svalar left the castle and on a boat towards Stros M'kai. He reached the leader of the organization called The Crossed-Daggers and slew him with using only his fists, he knew that his place was on a battlefield and not on a throne but he knew he had to do anything to make Tamriel free from the elves. Svalar came back to Sentinel to find the city burning soldiers running everywhere, people screaming as ships launched fireballs, it was the Thalmor. Svalar ran to the castle and found a justiciar, Elenwen. "Hello Ulfric, it felt good to torture you again, but this time you didn't escape. Svalar tackled Elenwen and killed her with his axe, Froststruck. He found Ulfric lying on the floor bleeding "Ulfric are you okay" "Run quickly head back to Skyrim and tell Galmar what happened good luck, my king..." Svalar grabbed Ulfric's body and carried him out of the keep. He looked towards the port and watched as the Hammerfellian Navy easily destroyed the Thalmor. "Are you okay Svalar, I trust the rebels have been killed" it was Lematus. Svalar just looked at him and gave him the head "Take it, I trust you will hold up your end of the bargain, goodbye I will send trade caravans and doctors to help your people." "Good luck my king."
