It's a poignant reflection on his life from a man more prone to using his voice for combat than poetry, and an interesting and somewhat sympathetic end to Ulfric's arc for any player who sided with the Empire of Tamriel. By gods' jest in this grim mist together snared, Stormcloak and Imperial, we wander hopeless, waiting for succor. And so in death, too late, I learn the truth - fed by war, so waxed the power of Alduin, World-Eater - wisdom now useless.
If the players have killed Ulfric Stormcloak they'll find the once proud Jarl of Windhelm lost in the mists, where Alduin is devouring the souls of dead Nords trying to make it to the Hall of Valor. Ulfric reflects upon the war: 'Skyrim was betrayed, the blood of her sons killed in a doomed struggle against fate. During the quest ' Sovngarde' where the player enters the Nordic afterlife, they can find some of the characters from both sides of the Civil War that they killed, depending on which side they chose. This is not the only main quest that is changed by the player completing the Civil War questline, however.
