The Great Bear Of Eastmarch.

The Great Bear of Eastmarch.

And his cub, of course.

(I don’t really think they had the closest father son relationship out there but I feel like Ulfric respects him a lot)

Safe return.

“You’re alive!”

“You made it back.

We both did.”

Thinking about Ulfric and Galmar as young legion soldiers both making it out of a bloody battle from which the legion had to eventually retreat (considering the Thalmor were probably kicking the empire’s ass) Only after the chaos has finally settled did they manage to find each other alive and well after.

Don’t think it was possible to ever separate them in battle after this one time. Alongside Rikke of course. Then you have yourself the coolest imperial trio. You’d wish you were them in highschool.

Bathhouse of the palace.

There’s an obvious lack of such facilities in Skyrim. But I think the palace of kings has a beautiful spring fed bathhouse fit for a jarl. Ulfric gets to spend time relaxing with an old “friend”.

Details:

Thinking about how big Ulfric’s room was in the palace of kings ,and how hard it probably is to heat in cold winters.

And Galmar has to suffer the consequences of that poor design choice. Having two bear sized nords in one bed is less than ideal. But pretty warm despite everything.

HCs for Ulfric’s scars.

(Cw mention of scars and torture)

He definitely has many. But they vary greatly in sources.

The most noticeable are Elenwen’s handy work. We have the deep and jagged ones around the pubic are that scatter all the way down to his crotch and inner thighs.

Just her way to scare him and threaten him by getting closer and closer to his groin. A collection of deep overlapping cuts that were carved in slowly and deliberately.

She also left a “signature scar” below his chest. A piss poor attempt to draw a heart with her knife (she’s not an artist okay! She just does her job) but she intended for it to be one that lasts forever.

The rest are from his time as a soldier. Many are around his arms and legs with those being the ones often exposed. There is one on the side of his torso from a weapon that managed to cut through his armor. It was deep and it bruised and hurt like a bitch for very long.

A particular one on his right nipple he isn’t even sure if it was from Elenwen or something else but it’s there.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my mini rant about his scars. If you didn’t I hope you at least enjoyed looking at his beautiful face. (Or my attempt to recreate it)

It’s his turn to traumatize people now.

The bear of Markarth, everyone.
