==Dialogue==
"Talos guide you."
:How does one join the Stormcloaks? "Ulfric's not running a social club. You don't join anything. Either you're a true son of Skyrim, or you're not. If you are, then you make your way to Windhelm and talk to the man himself. If you're not, well friend, you'd best walk away before this gets ugly."
:Why are you called Stormcloaks? "At first they called us that to belittle our cause. But we gladly accepted being named for Ulfric Stormcloak, the only true High King of Skyrim. We are the true sons and daughters of Skyrim, and Ulfric... he's the truest of us all. We fight to make our land great once more, to raise up strong, noble thanes, and lay down false Jarls and the cowards who hide behind them. The sound of our fury is a storm about to break on the head of our enemies. Our friendship, a cloak of true brotherhood for all who would wear it."
:How do you feel about this war? "Skyrim is the birthplace of humanity. The birthplace of honor. And those snowbacked Imperials renounced both when they laid down before the Thalmor. Worse still, to pay for the privilege to keep his throne, the Emperor sells Skyrim and our very gods - Talos, no less! - to the damn elves. And what did Torygg do? He and the Jarls that supported him? They took the Emperor's gold. Sold out their people for a slave master's "peace treaty." Ulfric did right killing him. Soon we'll rid Skyrim of elves, their bloody Justiciars, and the Jarls in their pockets. The whole damn lot of them. And we'll cleave through the Legion to get to them."
"I'll take my leave then."

Reporting for duty. "I'm in the middle of something. But don't go far. I'll need you soon."
If not busy:
Reporting for duty. ""
:"First off, there's a couple of Imperials skulking about the hold. Need to cut their throats so they can't make their reports."
:"First off, there's a band of Imperials hiding in a nearby village. We're going to flush them out and put them to the sword."
:"First problem here is a pack of Imperial dogs drooling over resources stolen from the people. A little sabotage will sour the taste of that victory."
:"First, we've learnt the whereabouts of an Imperial cur fetching documents for his master in Solitude. We need to put a muzzle on that, don't we?"
:"First of all, a son of Skyrim rots in an Imperial prison. We'll be getting him out of there soon."
:"First, if we can assassinate their commander, we'll be able to strike them while they're busy tucking their tails between their legs."
:"First off, we hear a group of Imperial legionnaires are coming around to our way of thinking. With a little encouragement they'll join our side."
:"First off, it seems that we might be able to blackmail the Jarl's Steward. I need to find out for sure."
:"The last few supply caravans have been attacked... by a giant. As if I didn't have enough to deal with. Need that damn hairy brute straightened out."
:"First, I need to know what the Imperials are planning. Need to slip into their headquarters, grab plans, maps, something useful like that."
:"First of all, there's someone in particular I'd like to win over to our cause."
:"First off, there's a damn Orc hanging around getting in the way. He's been yammering on about needing help with some kind of vision quest."
:"First, we're attacking the fort. I want that fort."
::"Secondly, we got a couple of Imperial spies roaming through the hold. Need to put an end to that."
::"Secondly, we plan on liberating a settlement from Imperial hands."
::"Next problem - Imperial thieves have, yet again, stolen an important resource. So we're gonna take it from them permanently - by destroying it."
::"And then, it seems an Imperial worm wiggles it's way back home, carrying information stolen from us. We need to steal it back."
::"And perhaps more importantly, we have a brother rotting in an Imperial prison. He won't languish in there long, will he now?"
::"We also have the opportunity to slay an Imperial Legate. That'll put fear and confusion into those faithless dogs."
::"And we hear a handful of Imperials are realizing they are Stormcloaks at heart. We need to send them a little encouragement."
::"Next, I need dirt on the Jarl's Steward. Heard there's blackmail potential there."
::"And then there's a tiny problem with a giant attacking our supply caravans. A giant! As if I didn't have enough to deal with."
::"Also, I need a peek inside Imperial headquarters, ideally lifting some documents detailing their plans. I need to know what to concentrate on."
::"I need to send someone out to do a little recruiting. There's someone in particular I'd like to join us."
::"And as if that wasn't enough. I got this damn Orc hanging around, getting in the way, yapping about needing help with some kind of vision quest."
::"Secondly, I want to take the fort here. Having a fortified position will make it easier for us to amass men for our ultimate attack on the capital."
If a mission had been performed successfully:
:"Good job! With those Imperial scouts out of the way, I can be more aggressive about where I send our men."
:"You gave those mongrels a real whipping, eh? Good work. We'll be sure to send a garrison to reinforce the area and keep the peace."
:"We hit 'em where it hurts. As soon as we can, we'll take over - make the needed repairs. In the meantime, the people no longer slave for the Empire."
:"You're alive! It was a gamble - but as Talos keeps us, we keep each other - I wasn't going to just let them rot in there."
:"I pray Talos overlooks our less than honorable approach. But he knows our purpose is just and true. I'm glad you made it out alive."
:"Excellent. That's one less settlement in Imperial hands, and one more sign to all that our cause is true."
:"Well done! I'll send men with a wagon to collect our prize. We'll put the weapons to use here, and I'll send the coin back to Windhelm."
:"We grow that much stronger with each son and daughter of Skyrim who joins us. Down with the Emperor!"
:"Thanks for dealing with that orc. Something tells me that's not the last time we'll see him. And, something tells me that might not be a bad thing."
:"Good job! Ulfric was right about you. I'm glad to have you with us!"
If a mission had failed:
Sorry "Turns out you're a screw up like the rest. But I still need you. So I'll overlook it for now."
==Quotes==
*"Look deeply into the faces of the warriors around you. These are the true sons and daughters of Skyrim. See her strength and nobility in their eyes."
*"The Empire would have us become slaves to the Thalmor. We are not slaves. We are men. Free men who will slay anyone who begs to differ."
*"It was anger that brought each of us here, but it is love that keeps us fighting."
*"The measure of a man is taken at the moment of his death. And know this for truth, the ghosts of many heroes walk among us."
*"One lives for the things he is willing to die for."
*"My hatred for the Empire is bested only by love for my countrymen."
*"The Emperor would turn Skyrim into a puppet of the Dominion. I for one would not care to dance for the amusement of those foul elves."
*"That we have forgotten them, this I fear the gods will remember."
*"Before we wage war upon our foes, we must wage a war against our lesser selves. Cleave to your higher voice and with it shatter your foes."
==Trivia==
*All Stormcloak Officers (excluding the Field Commanders) are marked as essential, and therefore cannot be killed without the use of console commands, even if the player has completed the civil war with the Empire. This means that Stormcloak camps can never be cleared. The same is true for Legates.
