Yes.
Skyrim became independant during the interregnum when Ocato was assassinated. They thought Mede I would be an ok guy so decided to rejoin the empire when he took power.
They've also done fine during the periods between the first and second empire, and the second and third empire.
Speaking of that decree of monument. To put in perspective how the imperials treated refugees from a large scale disaster...
To be fair though, they are bosmer refugees. Perhaps they didn't want to risk another Gaenor incident.
This is a silly assertion, claiming you know what spells their magical units used. We don't know, simple as that. What we do know is that the Nords' distrust of magic didn't mean that they couldn't stop the Aldmeri armies from retreating. It also doesn't mean, as I've already pointed out with the courtmages, that they are above enlisting magical talent when they need it.
The Nord's distrust of magic seem to be very selective, and doesn't include restoration and enchanting, and possibly destruction.
The priests in Skyrm appear to be expected to be trained in Restoration, and there is a reference to "Battle Maiden", which is how Snow-Shod describes his daughter. Her role in the Stormcloak army was to use her healing training to help the soldiers. Guards also express a very positive view of restoration, saying that there should be more people trained in it. And guards seem to have no problem with destruction as long as you don't burn down houses. Really, the Redguards seem to be more hateful of magic than the Nords are, given the views of a Redguard mage.

"I'm Trayvond the Redguard, Mages Guild Evoker. Surprised? Yes, you don't see many Redguards in the Mages Guild. We don't much like spellcasters in Hammerfell. Wizards steal souls and tamper with minds. If you use magic, you're weak or wicked. My family didn't approve of my vocation, so I had to come to Cyrodiil for my education. I admit... I still have strong prejudices against necromancy, summoning, and illusion. Profaning the remains or souls of the dead is just wrong. And I'm uneasy about tampering with other's minds and trafficking with Daedra."
I think people are overstating the Nords' distrust for magic, especially since the evidence seem to be that they distrust certain types of magic(I'm guessing Conjuration and Illusion primarily. Conjuration because of the Oblivion Crisis and daedra in general, and Illusion because it tampers with the mind), but not all types. Some are encouraged. So the claim that the Nords won't have magic, if the Stormcloaks win, can be easily dismissed when you look at the evidence.
Edited to put in links to source my claims.
Retour en haut
Oh I remember you from BSF now, lol 
Less fake transgender OTPs that dont exist bs, and more Stormcloaks and Cassandra.
