Skyrim Se Open Civil War

[Ayana Munsen]

Jarl of Haafingar and the Empire's candidate for the title of High Queen of Skyrim. Her seat is in Solitude. She is the widow of High King Torygg, whose murder/death in honorable duel began the civil war.

• Gameplay and Story Segregation: A mild and rather interesting example. Once her personal quest (to take Torygg's horn to a Shrine of Talos) is completed, Elisif will greet the Dragonborn with "It's a fine day with you around," a line normally used only by female NPCs who are candidates for marriage. There actually was going to be an option for the Dragonborn to marry Elisif and potentially become High King in this way, but it was cut; the line of dialogue, however, was left in the game.
• Happily Married: It's indicated, though not outright stated, that Elisif and Torygg were this before his death. She speaks of him fondly and is still in mourning, and his spirit, if encountered in Sovngarde, clearly regrets having to leave her.
• The High Queen: She's in the running for the title, anyway. While she lacks the wisdom typically implied for this trope due to still being young and inexperienced, she has the right disposition and attitude for the role.
• Hot-Blooded: Downplayed in her outward behavior, but still visible through her actions. Elisif is very eager to prove she can be an effective ruler, but this leads to her overcompensating when making decisions. Reports of strange noises and sightings coming from a cave may warrant a scout patrol to investigate, but Elisif immediately orders an entire legion to storm the place; when the Bard's College convinces her to reinstate the Burning of King Olaf festival, she says she wants it to become a weekly event. Fortunately she has Falk Fire-beard by her side to suggest more moderate courses of action, and she yields to his recommendations since she knows he has more experience.
• Horrible Judge of Character: Sincerely believes Elenwen to be a generous ally of Skyrim. Even Tullius, one of the Empire's staunchest supporters, knows it's just a charade and only attends her parties out of obligation.
• Metaphorically True: Elisif and most of her court will attest that Ulfric literally blasted Torygg apart with his Thu'um. Ulfric states that the truth is far less dramatic; he merely knocked Torygg to the ground with a shout and ran him through (indeed, the only shouts he knows are Unrelenting Force and Disarm). The claim may be exaggerated, but it was still directly responsible for the High King's death; and it's stated in the game that Ulfric killed Torygg in front of Elisif, so it stands to reason that she has a pretty good idea of what happened.
• Nice Girl: She doesn't get upset at the Dragonborn if they side with the Stormcloaks, and is still willing to declare them Thane and say that "It's a fine day with you around." She's the only Imperial Jarl to do so; all the others insult you if you visit them in her hall.
• Puppet Queen: Currently serves as one under the Empire due to the war demanding Tullius's leadership and her husband's advisers being more experienced in handling the ruling of the Hold than she is. Can also end up as one if the Stormcloaks take over Skyrim, where she keeps her position but is effectively serving Ulfric in spite of her hatred for him. It's left ambiguous as to whether her situation - in either circumstance - will remain the status quo in the future.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: She takes threats to her hold very seriously, and is one of the more approachable Jarls (she allows commoners to petition her directly, for example, and never speaks down to them), but she often lacks the experience needed to properly prioritize issues. She's also willing to hear out people who disagree with decisions she's previously made and may reverse them if they convince her.
• Reclining Reigner: Averted - the throne used by each Jarl has an animation tied to it that makes anyone who sits in them this trope. The Solitude throne, however, has a different animation, causing Elisif to sit upright with her hands on her lap.
• Right for the Wrong Reasons: When she learns of strange sights and sounds coming from a nearby cave, Elisif wants to send a contingent of soldiers to investigate; her steward talks her out of it. Despite appearances to the contrary, Elisif's response is in fact completely warranted by what's really going on in there - but neither she nor Falk have any idea of it.
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Asks the Dovahkiin to offer her husband's horn to a Shrine of Talos as part of a traditional Nordic burial ceremony.
• Ultimate Job Security: She is the only Jarl who is not replaced if the opposing faction takes her hold; presumably, her inexperience diminishes her threat level in Ulfric's eyes.note A cut quest also suggests that Ulfric has concerns that harming Elisif would escalate the war with the Empire and also open him up to reprisal.
• World's Most Beautiful Woman: The only woman in Skyrim to have a title relating to her physical appearance.

Initial Jarl of Hjaalmarch. Her seat is in Morthal. She and her children have a sometimes inconvenient gift of premonition.

• All There in the Manual: According to the official strategy guide, Idgrod and her children are actually mages of a sort. They aren't aware of it themselves, but their visions are caused by their subconscious manipulation of Magicka.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite her visions, to the point her own court starts questioning her ability to lead, Idgrod is probably one of the most reasonable and effective Jarls, especially considering the poor state of her hold.
• Cool Old Lady: One of the most personable and intelligent Jarls on the Imperial side. If you've ingratiated yourself with her before "Diplomatic Immunity", she is willing to provide you a distraction in the Thalmor Embassy, no questions asked, simply because it'll liven up the party and she wants to have some fun.
• Cursed with Awesome: She and her children have the gift of premonition. Idgrod says that it is a blessing, while others think it's a curse. Her son, in particular, is a space cadet plagued with nightmares to the extent of warranting medical suppression.
• Distaff Counterpart: To Jarl Korir. Both have difficulties that hurt their reputation (Idgrod's visions, Korir's collapsed city), but are still among the most reasonable and respectable Jarls in their respective factions.
• Go Mad from the Revelation: According to some people, anyway.
• Guile Heroine: Despite how people may feel about her premonitions, she still has her wits about her.
• Happily Married: To her steward, Aslfur.
• In the Blood: Both her daughter and her son are haunted by dreams similar to her precognitive abilities. Idgrod the Younger has a better handle on it, but they're so severe on Joric that he's a total space cadet.
• Mad Oracle: She's rather cryptic and kooky, but still has enough marbles to keep the hold, so it's a mild case of this trope.
• Obfuscating Insanity: You get a hint she's no stranger to faking her visions for the purpose of trolling if you enlist her aid in causing a distraction at the Thalmor embassy party, should you have ingratiated yourself to her beforehand.
• Only Sane Woman: She is the only Jarl who can see both sides of the war are being manipulated and feels sticking together is what is best for everyone - hence her pro-Imperial stance.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Based on the testimony of certain individuals (one of whom is her own housecarl), her visions take a noticeable strain on her and prevent her from ruling her hold efficiently, but she treats threats to the hold with the seriousness they require. After the Dovahkiin finishes the local investigation, she doesn't just order the problem to be dealt with immediately; she backs you up with a full mob of eager volunteers. This might do more harm to you than good, but it's still more help than most Jarls provide you. She's also one of the only Jarls who puts the wellbeing of her hold over the civil war.
• Royals Who Actually Do Something:
• She is easily one of the most proactive Jarls, initiating the investigation of the murder in her hold. Upon confirmation of foul play she immediately organizes a mob to go with you to punish those responsible.
• She also attends Thalmor parties solely to keep her eye on them, effectively acting as an Imperial spy.
• Give her "proof" that Falion is up to dark magics and she will personally go to see him to put the fear of Arkay in him.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Her daughter, Idgrod the Younger, looks like a youthful, wrinkle-free version of her.
• Walking the Earth: The strategy guide gives this as her backstory; as a young woman, she traveled extensively throughout Skyrim in order to learn as much as she could before she took the throne as Jarl.

Initial Jarl of Falkreath Hold, seated in Falkreath. Took over for his uncle, who was getting "too old" for his position (read: his uncle was a Stormcloak sympathizer).

• Bad Boss: He has been turning a blind eye on a group of bandits preying on the people in his hold in exchange for a cut of their profits, and has the Dragonborn kill all of them mainly because they reneged on said deal.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: Due to a bug, even if you are Thane of Falkreath, the kindest thing he'll call you is a whore if you've killed his housecarl for the Dark Brotherhood - even if he has no way of knowing it was you.
• It's All About Me: His character in a nutshell. The grand majority of his dialogue is related to his self-importance and personal indulgence.
• Jerkass: Rather rude and extremely lazy.
• Les Collaborateurs: The only Jarl (Imperial-aligned or otherwise) that is completely in bed with the Thalmor and even applauds Elenwen's persecution of Talos-worshippers.Siddgeir: Most Nords struggle to accept change. Those who fought the Thalmor in the Great War still see an enemy. But that war is over, and a new day has dawned. Besides, the Thalmor reward their friends richly. Anyone who doesn't take advantage of that is a stubborn fool. [...] I've known (Elenwen) long enough to appreciate her excellent taste in food and wine. And also long enough to respect her importance to Skyrim. She plays a vital role in rooting out the forbidden worship of Talos. As far as I'm concerned, those Talos-worshippers get what they deserve. All they do is cause problems for me and the other Jarls.
• Pet the Dog: Despite being a Jerkass, his friendship is surprisingly easy to obtain and he can be persuaded to help the Dragonborn during "Diplomatic Immunity".
• Puppet King: He's happy to tell you that he's merely a puppet Jarl while his steward is the one who holds power. He prefers it this way; he can take advantage of all the perks his position affords him, and he doesn't have to do any work actually governing his Hold.
• Royal Brat: He acts less like a Jarl and more like a petulant, self-indulgent teenager. He is clearly one of the younger Jarls in the country, being the only male Jarl without significant facial hair apart from Skald; it's entirely possible that he actually is a teenager.
• Token Evil Teammate: One of two for the Imperial side, although slightly less outright villainous than Maven.
• Upper-Class Twit:
• He doesn't do much of anything except enjoy the privileges of his station. Fortunately, his high elf steward Nenya knows what to do so the hold doesn't fall apart.
• He does pay attention to the bandits in Falkreath. In a nasty twist, he actually allows them to prey on his people in return for a cut of their ill-gotten gains. He sends you to exterminate one gang of bandits that is trying to stiff him, so as to send a message to the other bandits in the region.
• He also seems to actually pay attention to the stories of heroes roaming around Skyrim, such as the Dragonborn. However, his interest lies mostly in getting said heroes to show up in his underdeveloped hold to do work for him and maybe buy land and develop it.
