So just completed the Forsworn Conspiracy quest again, and I kind of like Madanach. He's a pretty cool guy. Sure he's having people killed, but still. Pretty cool. I also sympathize with the Forsworn cause, and believe the Nords are all kinds of wrong in this situation.

Plus it doesn't hurt that he gives me a nice set of light armor.

Aside from the fact the Forsworn do or did sacrificial rituals, I want know more lore about them as in who claimed the land first? The Forsworn or the Nords?

I might have supported the Foresworn if they hadn't gone off the deep end.

No the Nords are not wrong, they Migrated just like any other race would and the Forsworn were weak. Besides the Forsworn are not all that good.

His (The King in Rags) actions outwiegh his cause. He is a terrorist. I think he has a right to want his home back, but the way he is going about it is just wrong. If he wanted to fight for his land he should fight in the open, in single combat or a staged battle. But no, he is in prison sending assassins to kill innocents.

I'm not sure I support them, but I'm certainly sympathetic to them.

Believe me, I love killing Nords as much as the next guy. Heck, probably more than the next guy.

But the Forsworn are proof that sometimes the older ways are best left forgotten...

They're a bunch of human-sacrificing barbarians. They deserve about as much sympathy as the Aztecs.

Also, OP, watch the quest-related spoilers in the general discussion forum please.

Well yeah.. It does kind of creep me out that they are lead by Hag Ravens, and do the Briarheart thing. But nobody's perfect.

I though the Brairheart thing was awesome! Especially when you pickpocket them .

I find the Stormcloaks demanding home rule, independence, and religious freedom but suppressing the Reachmen who want the same thing a tad hypocritical.

However, my sympathies for the Forsworn kind of ran dry when I saw a Forsworn running the head of a Nord against a grinding stone.

Those who terrorize non-combatants are reprehensible, and I'll take out those who do so. If they focused their assaults against the town guard, the Silver-Bloods, and the Jarl of the Reach, that'd be one thing, but butchering those who aren't involved is something else entirely.

The Forsworn attack me on sight, of course I don't support them. They are to be exterminated.

This. I forgive the Empire at the beginning, because of the war, but not those beasts who only kill and rob innocent people everyday.

I hope they do more with them in a dlc at some point due to the questline where they're involved, felt like it led up to something but then nothing really changed except for one camp. (cant remember what one)

THIS.

You said it better than I could have.

Neither the Forsworn nor the Nords are correct. The nords treat the reachman like the dirt they walk upon and the forsworn kill nords like the animals they used to hunt. Its actually very similar to what Ulfric Stormcloak does the the Grey Quarter.

I support neither the Forsworn nor the the Nords. Unless they can reach middle ground blood will be spilled.
