"I hope Ulfric will come to his senses. ", What will it take to end the war? If you have already visited Fort Hraggstad and cleared it, she will be quite surprised: "Is that so? "Rikke: "Step aside Galmar. General Tullius: "He'd be insane to try. I don't think you're regular militia material. She will also explain how ' we' know the crown is in Korvanjund: "Well, to be frank, we don't. I need you to find evidence of her corrupt activities, and use it to gain a measure of her "cooperation." (quietly):"I hate giving speeches. A final confrontation is inevitable, but you will witness a melancholic conversation between the three old friends: Ulfric: "Secure the door. If he believes the crown is there he's likely found it." Because of that, I completely disagree with your assertion that no good character would ever choose the Empire over the Stormcloaks. Tullius says at one point that the Empire is getting ready for Part II with the Thalmor - that's the reason that the Stormcloaks haven't been taken care of yet. So today I had my last final and as a self reward I decided to have a few drinks and play through the civil war questline on my current file. General Tullius told me what happened. For the Empire! When you report for duty, she'll say, "Your objective is the enemy held fort. When the Moot meets, they'll do the sensible thing. If not, just keep your nose clean while you're here or you'll end up like Roggvir." Why do Nords worship Talos? 10. "Tullius: "Make sure you take the Auxiliary here. It just so happens, I've got some scouts along the road. Rikke then travels to the Imperial Camp in The Rift, with the intent to blackmail Jarl Laila Law-Giver's steward Anuriel to attain knowledge of a Stormcloak convoy full of weapons and gold that she then has the Dragonborn ambush alongside Hadvar and several other Legionnaires. At this point, you can ask Rikke several questions. When reaching the point of which an exchange of holds between the two factions is discussed, Ulfric will want control of The Reach. Any last requests before I send you to to wherever you people go when you die. I'm entrusting you with what resources I can spare. I know Galmar. This is the day we send a message to Ulfric Stormcloak and the rebel Jarls who support him. Never forget that. I want that fort, and I want it now. Let's see where this leads." She also laments that this has made her unable to find the way to Shor's Hall. "Rikke: "It wasn't so bad. After a long and exhausting battle in the streets of Solitude, you will finally reach Castle Dour where you will find General Tullius seated on a chair in disbelief, while Rikke will stand up, prepared to fight. and add: "Careful! This will start the final quest Battle for Windhelm. It isn't nearly as black and white as that. I realize some of you may know men on the other side. We had the advantage of surprise this time, but don't expect it to last. "Rikke: "I'm also free to stay and fight for what I believe in. I.e. Listen up. Skyrim, is a vast region set in the northern part of Tamriel. ", Rikke: "Talos be with you" "Rikke: "Ulfric. On the other hand, he also refuses to acknowledge Ulfric's claim." "Galmar: "You were there with us. Yeah, when Ulfric is killed Rikke whispers under her breath "Talos be with you." She was supposed to live a more normal existence, but doesn't, due to a bug. I'll meet you there as soon as I finish up here." They'll no doubt strike whenever and wherever they can. Originally from Cyrodiil, he was appointed Military Governor of Skyrim and tasked with crushing the Stormcloak Rebellion. I'll send men to garrison the fort right away. This one is the nonspecific one. Tullius: "The rebellion is over! It's over. I knew I gave the mission to the right person." The WGC was signed out of necessity, not because the emperor wholly agrees with it 100%. We don't need to hang around here any longer than necessary." Rikke: "And this must be the Hall of Stories. If the Dragonborn sides with the Imperial Legion, Rikke acts as their commanding officer in the field, and assigns the Dragonborn to recapture several of the major holds. Let's show these rebels what real soldiers look like." Stop. We've come for the General. If you talk to her instead, she will repeat: "Get the crown already. We can use the weapons here, and I'll pass on the coin to Solitude." The rebels are keeping some of our men prisoner there. Spread out, and keep your eyes open." I knew I gave the mission to the right person." She must choose to safeguard her heart or safeguard her people. In my opinion, they are ALL Talos worshippers. She handles the local recruiting." Galmar: "Stand aside woman. General Tullius: "And we gave it to Elisif?" ", She then turns to you: "Welcome to the Legion, auxiliary. Perfect spot for an ambush. Yes If you look at the lore, the Imperials aren't actually against Talos worship. Windhelm will need a government quickly if we are to prevent more violence. "Rikke: "You've left me no choice Talos preserve us.". Once Ulfric Stormcloak returns Balgruuf's War Axe to Balgruuf the Greater a Stormcloak attack on Whiterun is inevitable and Balgruuf will have no choice but to accept assistance from the Imperial Legion. No I suspect you'll be of greater good to Skyrim out there, in the world. It is home to the Nords, large and hardy men and women who have a strong resistance to frost, both natural and magical. But, without Ulfric to inflame their passions, they'll settle down and return to their homes eventually." Yeah if you kill Ulfric, Legate Rikke say "Talos be with you", or something like that. or "How does one join the Imperial Legion? It's over. Rikke: "There's bound to be resistance. The White-Gold Concordat was meant to be temporary while the Empire gathered its strength, but without Morrowind, the Black Marsh, or Valenwood, and with Hammerfell's and Elsweyr's secession (the latter of which joined the Dominion as a client state, only bolstering the elves' strength), they were left with only High Rock and Skyrim. Rikke will now be found in the Eastmarch Imperial Camp. We follow our hearts. Who knows what secrets we'd uncover?" These walls are supposed to show the history of the ancients who built this place.

When Tullius asks you to regain the Pale, Rikke will show up in the snowy Pale Imperial Camp east of hold capital Dawnstar, Rikke will be located in the easternmost tent, busy studying a huge regional map of Skyrim. Laila: "Yes, but not likely the one you intend." A helmetless Rikke refuses to submit to Ulfric. ", (At this point Rikke fights the Stormcloaks. Make sure those forged documents get to the Stormcloak commander in Dawnstar. This is a test. Ulfric: "I'll never surrender Skyrim into the hands of a corrupt and dying Empire." We must move quickly to prevent further violence." We're searching for the crown. Stick close and follow orders so we don't stir up the whole place against us.". Ulfric: "Rikke. We are turning the city over to Brunwulf Free-Winter, an honorable and faithful man! Galmar: "Well? It would seem Fort Dunstad is in need of reinforcements We'll make sure they won't be getting those One moment while I "correct" some of these documents That should do it. All hail his Legionnaires!" After Galmar is killed and Ulfric is on his knees: Tullius: "Well Ulfric, you can't escape from me this time. I aim to turn that into an advantage. ", "Dragonborn Perhaps this is the fate of Skyrim after all. and Rikke denies that she said anything. Evidenced by the men and women who fought and died bravely today. Look at how far we've come and with so little. I don't expect anyone to miss my meaning. We fought in many wars together. Are you up to the task? I gave you an order. I'm not sure how they avoided inspections by Thalmor Justiciars. To do to them the same thing the warrior god of man Talos Stormcrown/Tiber Septim did to them, ruin them. When we're done rooting out Imperial influence here at home, then we will take our war to the Aldmeri Dominion. They don't know we're here yet, though. Once you prevail we will garrison the fort." They don't know we're here yet, though." Get to Korvanjund as soon as you're ready. Stand down and face public execution, or advance and face summary execution by my hands. When you arrive in Solitude, the town guards will all recommend that you join the cause and talk to Rikke, saying, "If you've come to Solitude to join the Legion, speak to Rikke. Rikke: "You're a damn fool." Rrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!". She will then travel all the way to High Hrothgar and take a seat at the negotiation table, commenting, "I'm glad I finally got a chance to see this place. I really wish I could ask Delphine and Esbern where their loyalties lie in the civil war. We are all trapped in Alduin's web - for our allegiance he cares not, but devours us equally - doom unescapable. Tullius: "Enough! Tullius: "I pray you're right, Legate. "Your objective is Fort Kastav. What are we waiting for?". This will require stealth and discretion. Only Rikke and Tullius will follow you inside for the final showdown against Ulfric Stormcloak and Galmar Stone-Fist. ", Legate Rikke: "I'm telling you, Ulfric's planning an attack on Whiterun." When in Castle Dour she will never leave the strategy map and will discuss battle plans with General Tullius around the clock, only stopping for a few random meals at one of the available chairs. I've heard of this. Having captured the convoy, Rikke orders the Dragonborn to assault Fort Greenwall, the main Stormcloak stronghold in The Rift protecting Riften just north of the city with Imperial troops, as it would allow for easier communication with the Imperial City back in Cyrodiil. The man's going to try to take Whiterun." It'll be a problem.

When you arrive, she will be engaged in conversation with one of the soldiers: Rikke: "What's the situation?

She continued to worship Talos privately despite the White-Gold Concordat. I don't expect there to be any further violence. My spies report the Jarl's Steward, Anuriel, has arrangements with the Thieves Guild that would be rather embarrassing if made public. Speak with General Tullius. Fine. She also carries a belted tunic, which she was supposed to wear while sleeping. The Legion has faced down worse than a few dusty old bonewalkers.

If you sided with the Stormcloaks in the Civil War, Rikke will die at the end of the quest line. See if you can find some way to get that gate open. Female Rikke: "Ulfric. What's one more?" Likely only Ulfric's death, or the overthrow of the Jarls supporting him will end this. The Draugr rises and draws its weapon, indicating it isn't handing over the Jagged Crown without a fight: Legate Rikke: "Have it your way. "Rikke: "Yes, sir. If you survive, you'll pass.
