Ulfric Stormcloak: I went to Riften recently and a seven year old smoking a cigarette told me to go impale myself.
Lydia, leaning over to whisper to Leara: I thought Aventus quit.

Since 70% of my LDBs tend to be a Snow Elf I was imagining the nords reaction to finding out that their dragonborn of legend is a snelf.
While we know that this concept (being Dragonborn) exists all throughout Tamriel, it has never had more presence or importance in a culture of a country like Skyrim. Perhaps another could be Cyrodiil, but even despite the dynasties/empires initiated by St.Alessia or Tiber Septim, imperials don't integrate Dragons into their cultures like the nords do. With their Dragon overloads of old, the dragon cult, dragon priests, true first dragonborn (it was believed it was Alessia until Miraak in TesSkyrim), then the dragon wars, dragon hunting, dragon mounts, even dovahzul (which the Atmorans seemed to be fluent given by the number of walls), their previous use of the Thu'um, Greybeards with The Way of the Voice, and last but not least the prophecy of the end times with Alduin's return.
It's a normal day like any other and then it happens, Alduin has returned. Dragons are attacking, and rumors spread about the dragonborn since the Greybeards summoning them. I mean everyone heard them and felt the earth shake at the power of their voice.
So here at this point, Nords start wishing for a second Talos to come by walking and save them, imagining this mega Chad Atmoran of legend vibing like Ysgramor, only to find out their savior is a motherfucking ELF. Can you imagine their faces? And one that looks like a pale as fuck Altmer. The majority of adults are veterans from the great war, their worship of Talos is forbidden, Thalmor are taking people, there's a civil war, and dragons are back. I can't think of the amount of profanities some Nords must've yelled. Specifically Stormcloaks. Both hilarious and concerning. And that's before they find out that the LDB is a Snow Elf, their ancient foes. Actual natives of Skyrim, while Atmorans had to do great feats of mental gymnastics to convince themselves that this was their land and they came back to claim it (which of course had nothing to do with the fact that they were fleeing from Atmora with its civil war and also it was freezing), basically gaslighting themselves into thinking it was their home and all elves were colonizers. So they still think that snelfs are invaders, and enemies.
I imagine their conflictive feelings towards their gods, and this milk drinker elf the gods chose to save the world. While also being in awe at the fact that they are witnessing an actual dragonborn killing dragons. It must've been so bizarre for them.
This kind of nuance was missing in the game, because we know, Bethesda knows, and everybody knows, that the Nords would've reacted (A LOT) to the race of the dragonborn, a being so integral for their culture. Especially if they were elves, even bosmer who are the least hated elves. They would've think it was a Thalmor plot or something like that at first.
With a few comments from people, and extra charisma needed to do things (that a human wouldn't have the need for) could've changed the story.
(P.S: And for Khajiits and Argonians is a whole topic altogether)

"The Amulet"

Snippet:
"Ulfric's voice echoed in his mind as the image of her face gradually dissipated into a clouded abyss of shadows and darkness. A chill ran down his spine as her godly form slowly slipped away from his grasp.
"Tell me who you are, spirit..." he pleaded, his voice barely above a whisper. "What do you want from me?" The silence that followed once again was deafening as she continued to retreat from his touch, her hands transforming into shimmering snow that engulfed him in its icy embrace before finally letting him go.
For what felt like an eternity, Ulfric's body drifted into the freezing abyss of unconsciousness. Then, as slowly as he fell under the spell, the Jarl of Windhelm slowly returned to Nirn as he opened his eyes once again. Squinting as a deep orange and red glow blinded him, warmth caressed his frozen skin. And the overwhelming silence was drowned by the faint sound of a cracking fire."

Ulfric’s…unusual punishment
Please sit with me a while and imagine the scenario of Ulfric being haunted... by Torygg’s ghost.
And obviously in this scenario only Ulfric can see or hear him and Torygg is having the time of his afterlife keeping up a running commentary on Ulfric’s dismal civil war.
“So Tullius showed up and captured you in two weeks on your own home ground? Even coming from the man who died in his own courtyard, that’s embarrassing.”
“You’re really letting a single ice wraith be the entry test for the Stormcloak army?! I’ve met merchants who killed three of those things just to visit Dawnstar for the weekend!”
“Oh no, please do continue shouting about how Nords are the only people on Tamriel worth knowing. Try not to look too deeply into Talos’ history now, won’t you?”
And when nothing much is going on Torygg keeps up a lively rendition of “killer of kings.” Turns out the former High King was an excellent singer, especially at 2am.
I don’t know where I’m going with this but honestly Ulfric deserves every minute of it and it’s too funny to imagine him slowly going insane while Torygg laughs
