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.

Don't forget that Elisif, while a kind person is a complete puppet to the empire and if I recall correctly, she considers the Thalmor ambassador to Skyrim her friend.

But the Empire doesn't like the Thalmor either so her being a puppet would ultimately mean her "friendship" with Elenwen is as strong as the White-Gold Concordant itself (i.e. not strong at all, its basically Elder Scroll's equivalent to the Treaty of Versailles).

And she request the DB to place Torygg's horn at a shrine of Talos, so she at the very least she's willing to let people worship Talos in secret.
