If the Imperial Legion takes over Windhelm, Brunwulf Free-Winter becomes Jarl, as a supporter of both the Dunmer and Argonians, he believes that the Argonians should remain outside of the city for their own safety, 'because most of the folk in the city believe as Ulfric did, that outsiders should not be trusted.' ĭialogue with Ulfric Stormcloak, Windhelm's current Jarl, reveals that he does not attend to the issues occurring in the Gray Quarter due to being too busy with the rebellion. A decree by Ulfric Stormcloak forbidding the Argonians from living within the city's walls also exists. Īrgonians are also segregated from the Nord population and are forced to live at the Argonian Assemblage at the city docks. Some say that the Nords of Windhelm sequestered the Dunmer from the other citizens in this 'Gray Quarter' in reference to the Dunmer skin color. Reasons as to why vary depending on who is spoken to within the city. After the eruption of Red Mountain, many Dunmer fled to Windhelm and settled in an area known as the 'Snow Quarter.' The area has since been renamed the 'Gray Quarter,' as all of the Dunmer have congregated in this area.
