I am currently playing through as a Dunmer who is an ex Morag Tong member in Skyrim, she sees the civil war as a religious one and doesn't wish to get involved as she worships the Deadra. But she has recently been visiting Windhelm a lot and noticed how the Dunmer are treated by Ulfric and the other nords.

I was wondering if there was anyway I could get rid of Ulfric without doing the civil war so as to remain neutral in it and not pledge aliegence to any one side, as all I want to do is help the Dunmer refugees in Windhelm.

If anyone has a suggestion please post it.

As for the house in Windhelm I don't like it that much prefer Whiterun over Windhelm, the house in Windhelm seems to be very dull and full of cobwebs unlike the others.

Tried this alternative with my Reachwoman character, it's not permanent though:
