The Stormcloaks are a faction featured in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Led by Ulfric Stormcloak and based in Windhelm, they directly oppose the Thalmor and the Imperial Legion. The Dragonborn has the option of joining the Stormcloaks after Alduin's assault on Helgen, regardless of whom the Dragonborn followed—Ralof or Hadvar.
