I'm sorry, but have you read my post to the end I said that if you're one of the rebelling one, then you can join either.

Sorry missed that part.

Then you are wrong.

It's okay I tend to overlook details too sometimes.

makes no sense for an non-nord to fight for the stormcloaks. not at all. their whole thing is only for the nords. for old nord traditions. i could see red guards helping them, though.


the empire is just for... the empire. more multicultural. that's why the most non-nords would go with the empire.

Not quite anyone that worship Talos has reason to join, remember that Talos is part of the nine divines which is a religion that have believers from various races not nordic religion.

From a real life perspective I imagine that it would be hell for an elf to join the cloaks.

Can you say "Nords spitting in your rations", and "random midnight beatings"?

And everytime something goes wrong, they're automatically gonna accuse you of being a spy. Yeah.. The only way I can see an Elf joining the cloaks is if he/she REALLY believes in their cause..

Or likes physical/mental abuse.
