Inviting the hostile parties to the negotiations | Season Unending TES V: Skyrim Guide

Last update: 09 December 2019

On this page of the guide for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim we present the walkthrough for the initial fragments of the main quest Season Unending. The protagonist must talk to several important NPCs, in order to invite them to the negotiating table.

• New main objective: Talk to Arngeir
• New main objective: Talk to Ulfric Stormcloak
• New main objective: Talk to General Tullius

New main objective: Talk to Arngeir

Note! This quest will appear in jour journal only if you weren't able to convince the Jarl of Whiterun to immediately prepare Dragonsreach for trapping the dragon during The Fallen and instead were forced to help in negotiating a truce.

Get out of Dragonsreach, open the world map and choose the High Hrothgar. Get inside the monastery and locate Arngeir. You will need to persuade the Greybeard into hosting the Imperial Legion and Stormcloaks meeting (screen above).

New main objective: Talk to Ulfric Stormcloak

New main objective: Talk to General Tullius

You can visit the leaders of the conflicted factions in any order you like, but I'd recommend visiting Ulfric Stormcloak first. If you have already spoken with him, you will probably know where to search for him. Otherwise, head to Windhelm (eastern part of Skyrim) and after reaching the destination head to the Palace of the Kings in the northern part of the city (screen above).

Find Ulfric (make sure you're visiting him by daytime) and initiate a conversation with him. The course of the conversation will of course depend on whether you already know each other or meet for the first time (in the latter case you will might have to talk to him two times). You shouldn't have too much trouble with convincing Ulfric to head to High Hrothgar for the negotiations. If you have highly developed Speech, you can try convincing Ulfric to your opinion (screen above), but the Stormcloaks leader will accept the invitation either way.

Now head to meet with General Tullius. If you have already met him, you probably remember where to look for him. Otherwise, head to Solitude and afterwards go to Castle Dour in the north-west part of the city (screen above).

Find Tullius (make sure you're visiting him by daytime) and initiate a conversation with him. The course of the conversation will of course depend on whether you already know each other or meet for the first time (in the latter case you will might have to talk to him two times). You shouldn't have too much trouble with convincing Tullius to head to High Hrothgar for the negotiations. If you have highly developed Speech, you can try convincing Tullius to your opinion (screen above), but the Legion leader will accept the invitation either way.
