When the Dragonborn joined their ranks the stormcloaks began more operations against the Imperials leading up to the seige of Whiterun. Several weeks later Ulfric was approached by a stranger wishing to join the ranks of the stormcloaks, the same man who escaped Helgen with them, the Dragonborn. In the chaos Ulfic and several of his soldiers were able to escape along with the unkown prisoner. Ulfric was captured and sent to Helgen to be executed along with his personal guard, just as an unkown prisoner was about to be executed a dragon attacked Helgen. Torygg was slain in the duel and despite the tradition stating that the victor has claim to the throne, the empire declared it was murder and treason.

When the city was retaken the empire imprisioned Ulfric and his troops for violating the terms of the Concordat, this is considered the formation of the Stormcloak Rebellion. The empire began enforcing the ban on Talos worship, a practice many Nords take part in, which lead to the Markarth Incident. In 4E 174 the Forsworn Uprising in Markarth lead to the sucession of The Reach from Skyrim, in 4E 176 the former Jarl of Markarth turned to Ulfric Stormcloak for help, if Ulfric and his militia would reclaim Markarth then the Jarl would allow free worship of Talos in the city. When the war ended with the White-Gold Concordat, a treaty that was heavily pro-thalmor many Skyrim nationalists felt betrayed.
