Season Unending: The Skyrim Civil War

[Khwatawch]

To: The Argonian Assemblage, Windhelm

To those who would seek a future beyond the walls of Windhelm, you are invited to come to Winterhold. I offer unto the Argonians within your walls a new course. Those who wish to travel to our city will be offered equal rights with the Nords of our Hold, with the right to establish an Argonian Settlement of your own. Those who chose to assist in the establishment of this settlement will find their taxes excluded for three years from the date of arrival and a position on the Jarl's council for the representative of this township. Though hard labor will be needed in it's founding, with your aid wealth shall follow for Winterhold and all its citizens, Nord and Argonian alike. Those first to arrive and offer fealty will find favor in my eyes, but none shall find their reception by myself wanting. But let it be known to those who travel to Winterhold, skooma is banned within our borders. Those who use it will risk exile, those who deal it court death. Safe travels to those brave souls who make this trek and fair fortune to those who would remain.

A few dozen Argonians decide to make the journey to Winterhold, but the rest remain in Windhelm. It's already cold enough in Windhelm, and the Hist-children were not made for such a harsh and unforgiving climate.

​

The Rift​

​

• Rumours abound of a change in leadership in Riften's Thievs Guild. As if to let everyone know that they're still in charge despite of this, the Thieves Guild have increased their activities recently, and have even hit the estates and manors of some of the more well-off members of society. The guards are befuddled!​

The Reach

• Orcs bearing the standard of Orsinium have been sighted descending in great numbers from the Dragontail Mountains and into the southern Reach. They have been amassing in the Orc Stronghold of Dushnihk Yal. Their presence makes both local Reachmen and Nords nervous.​

Hjaalmarch

• In Morthal, the Jarl has begun several infrastructure expansion projects, including the expansion of the timber yards in the outskirts of the city. While work has begun, it will take a a few years before the effects are evident.​

Winterhold

• In Winterhold, Jarl Korir senses that conflict might soon engulf the province, and has sent the few forces he commands to take control of long abandoned forts in the Hold. Fort Fellhammer, Fort Kastav, and Frostflow Lighthouse are reclaimed. The latter had to be purchased from its Nord owner, though now the garrison reports strange scratching noises coming from the cellar at night...​
• Winterhold was once considered Solitude's rival in the East, but after the Great Collapse, everything went downhill. Rebuilding efforts have now finally begun again, but unfortunately, Jarl Korir's wife and housecarl suffered an accident while supervising the construction and died.​

Haafingar

• High-King Torygg has sent an invitation to all western Jarls to join him as he meets Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak and the eastern Jarls. This event is rapidly becoming a new Moot in all but name.
• Prospectors from Solitude have been spotted in all corners of the Hold looking for ideal spots to start new mining camps.

Eastmarch

• Jarl Ulfric, much to the surprise of his detractors in Windhelm, had been seen inspecting the walls and the rest of the city. He now has instructed his men to rebuild parts of the walls, and increase the patrols in areas like the Gray Quarters.

Have you heard of the High Elves?

• There's movement near the Thalmor Embassy, a few galleons arrived from the Dominion recently. It seems the Thalmor suspect something might be going on in Skyrim and are increasing their presence!

Heard any news from the other provinces?

• Life is hard in Morrowind, Argonians continue to raid southern Morrowind, and Redoran's relation with the Empire is too complicated. A new wave of Dunmer refugees is expected to arrive to Riften and Windhelm through 4E200.
• Rumours of a plague in High Rock?

It is now 4E200.​
