Lore:Stormcloak Clan
The Stormcloak Clan was a Nordic clan from Windhelm.[1]
The Stormcloaks could trace their lineage all the way back to the founding of Windhelm in the Merethic Era, and boasted of having helped to build the city.[2] During the First Era, the clan owned a vineyard that produced some vintages that were regarded as extremely rare collector's items by the time of the Interregnum.[3]
Skegglund Stormcloak was a veteran of Windhelm's city guard who later joined the Fighters Guild sometime before 2E 578.[4] Circa 2E 582, Mera Stormcloak served as a thane of Windhelm, and was a trusted subject of Jorunn the Skald-King.[5] Mera's father had held the slightly lesser position of Windhelm's Captain of the Guard.[2]
By far the most notable member of the clan was Ulfric Stormcloak, who inherited the title of Jarl of Windhelm from his father Hoag Stormcloak in 4E 183.[1][6]:552-553 He began the Stormcloak Rebellion in 4E 201 in order to usurp Torygg as High King of Skyrim and restore Talos worship.[7]
The Stormcloak Clan possesses a clan heirloom, an iron battleaxe named Bjornblad.[8]
