Tullius' explanation for why he does not have enough reinforcements (only heard if you go to Tullius first, are not allied with the Stormcloaks, and do not try to persuade him): Most of the Legion is tied down on the border with the Aldmeri Dominion. My job is to quell this rebellion, and I intend to do just that, dragons or no dragons. But I wasn't sent to Skyrim to fight dragons. Tullius' initial response, specifically when warned about the dragon menace: They are getting to be a problem. I can't agree to this unless Tullius himself will be there. Not all the Jarls are fully committed to supporting me as High King. But the political situation is still delicate. And the dragon attacks are a growing plague. Ulfric Stormcloak's initial response to the Greybeards' message: I have the greatest respect for the Greybeards, of course. Tell Ulfric and General Tullius that the Greybeards wish to speak to them. Even the Greybeards must bend to the winds of change, it seems. The Greybeards have never involved themselves in political affairs.Īrngeir, explaining his change of mind: Paarthurnax has made the decision to help you. Organizing a Peace Council Īrngeir, on his reluctance to host a peace council: You misunderstand our authority. As you complete more of the Reunification of Skyrim or Liberation of Skyrim, it becomes more and more difficult to negotiate a treaty that favors your faction and thus elicit a reward.

Furthermore, it is best to do this quest soon after choosing a side in the civil war. If you wish to receive a reward for completing this quest, you must have joined either the Imperial Legion or the Stormcloaks.

If either side of the Civil War controls at least eight of the nine holds of Skyrim, a truce can no longer be negotiated, and this quest will automatically be bypassed. This quest starts early in the concurrent quest, The Fallen, but only if the Jarl of Whiterun ( Balgruuf or Vignar) insists that a truce must be negotiated before allowing Dragonsreach to be used to capture a dragon.
