18. "RE: Irresponsible Speculation"
In response to message #17
 
   To be fair, I am 100% on-board with Ulfric's agenda of murdering the Thalmor. Like, a lot. This is both good politics and good policy. Seceding from the Empire isn't even a dumb choice; lets not forget that Hammerfell took on the Aldmeri by themselves for five years and kicked them out. If the Redguard by themselves can do that, it means Titus Mede made an enormous mistake by accepting the concessions he did in the White-Gold Concordat. A completely understandable mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.

I think Ulfric genuinely expected that his defeat of Torygg in single combat would be recognized as legitimate by all the Jarls of Skyrim and so he'd be a shoe-in for next High King. He didn't seem to realize that the Nords no longer live in the time of Ysgramor, and that even back then, an experienced warrior challenging and killing a much younger one without exhausting diplomatic options was considered bad form.
