Liberation of Skyrim - p.1 | Stormcloak Rebellion Quests TES V: Skyrim Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

New Main Objective: Report to Ulfric Stormcloak

Open the world map and go to the Palace of the Kings in Windhelm. Look around for Ulfric Stormcloak, who may be either in the throne room or in his chambers in the Palace of the Kings - Second Floor (the above screen). Ulfric promotes you to a higher rank and gives you a Sword scaled to your character's current level. The Stormcloak leader will also send you to a secret camp and ask you to prepare for taking over one of Skyrim's areas.

New Main Objective: Liberate Falkreath Hold

Leave the palace, open the world map and plan a journey to the Falkreath Stormcloak Camp (the above screen). It's located in the mountains in the south parts of Skyrim. Assuming you haven't unlocked that location yet, it's best to start travelling from Helgen Keep, the location you started the game from. Once you reach the keep, head east.

Be careful, because on your way to the Stormcloak camp you can be attacked by bandits or wild animals. After a while you should reach you destination (the above screen).

Enter the camp and look around for the tent with Galmar Stone-Fist inside. Initiate dialogue and ask him for new orders (the above screen), and he will tell you that you need to rescue Stormcloak prisoners held in Fort Neugrad and take over the fort itself.

Note! At this time, the game will activate a new Stormcloak Rebellion Quest (Rescue from Neuegrad), but the current quest will remain active as well. This is how it's going to be until the end of your Stormcloak Rebellion adventure, as you'll be getting minor quests and moving the main storyline at the same time. Consequently, do the Rescue from Neuegrad quest and return to this part of the guide once you have finished it.

Unlocked Stormcloak Rebellion Quest: Rescue from Neugrad

New Main Objective: Report to Ulfric Stormcloak #2

This objective will appear in your journal after you complete the Rescue from Neugrad. Open the world map and go to the Palace of the Kings in Windhelm. Find Ulfric and tell him that the fort has been taken over (the above screen). He's very pleased to hear of your success and promotes you to a higher rank. Apart from that, you'll get a priced Sword scaled to your character's current level. Your next assignment in the fight with the Imperial Legion is to liberate a part of Skyrim called the Reach.

New Main Objective: Liberate the Reach

Leave the Palace of the Kings, open the world map and find the Reach Stormcloak Camp (the above screen). It's located in the northeast part of the map and unfortunately there aren't many cities you could start your journey from. As for smaller towns, I suggest Dragon Bridge (go southwest) or Rorikstead (go northwest).

Be careful, because on the way to the Stormcloak camp you can be attacked by wild animals. When you get there, find the tent with Galmar Stone-Fist inside and talk to him (the above screen). He sends you to Markarth to steal the Amulet of Talos. With this item you can blackmail Raerek, the Steward of the Jarl of Markarth. At this moment, the game activates the Compelling Tribute quest. Skip to its guide, because only by finishing it will you be able to continue with the Liberation of Skyrim.

Unlocked Stormcloak Rebellion Quest: Compelling Tribute

You can continue with the current quest after the Compelling Tribute. Return to the Reach Stormcloak Camp and find Galmar Stone-Fist (the above screen). After you receive Gold for seizing the enemy caravan, ask Galmar for new orders. He sends you to take over Fort Sungard. At this moment, the game activates The Battle for Fort Sungard quest. Skip to its guide, because only by finishing it will you be able to continue with the Liberation of Skyrim.

Unlocked Stormcloak Rebellion Quest: The Battle for Fort Sungard

New Main Objective: Report to Ulfric Stormcloak #3

This objective will appear in your journal after completing The Battle for Fort Sungard. Open the world map and go to the Palace of the Kings in Windhelm. Find Ulfric to tell him about taking another fort from the hands of the Imperials (the above screen). Once again, Ulfric promotes you and gives you a priced Armor, scaled to your character's playing style and current level. The leader of the Stormcloaks then sends you to another camp, this time located in Hjaalmarch.
