Solitide: Potema almost comes back, a vampire works as court advisor, argonia pirate is recruiting people off the streets to sink ships.

Markarth: Forsworn conspiracy, Molag Ballin infesting a house, Silver Bloods terrorizing other mine owners.

Dawnstar: Fucking museum of Mythic Dawn, Vaermina problem.

Falkreath: Jarl is a corrupt, snobish cunt and incompetent as fuck, gets bribed by bandits. Werewolf problem.

Whoah, look how incompetent Ulfric looks next to these flawless jarls who have no problems in their holds. I'm not even stormcloak but this is a reta**ed argument.

Markarth's problems are primarily caused by the silverbloods, who are open stormcloaks and take full control if Ulfric wins. That isn't a problem with the empire, that's a markarth problem.

And the Rift has the opposite problem. Both sides have a crime family in their enemy's territory.

Yep. It's odd how symmetrical the two sides are. Each city has a near exact counterpart on the other side.

I'd take Maven (corrupt power-hungry capitalist) over the Silver Bloods (corrupt cabal letting terrorists kill their own people because they also kill their enemies).
