Coming back from beyond the grave to offer you the most pathetic jarl in Skyrim <3

[omegatheimmortaldragonborn]

Some of my favourite characters in skyrim, and why 👹

Balgruuf The Greater: i think this speaks for itself tbh, my favourite Jarl

Balimund: I don't actually know, kinda just looked at him and said "yes, he's the one." Or at least one of them anyway lmfao

Brynjolf: cocky thief with a *small amount* of issues, need i say more?

Captain Aldis: Self Explanatory. he's pretty, good personality, wants books, and lots of muscle? Yes please

Captain Gjalund Salt-Sage: idk he just smiled at my character once and it did things LMFAOOO

Captain Lonely-Gale: Father? Sorry, Father? Sorry-

Falk Firebeard: Steward whos probably a borderline alcoholic? Possibly involved in scandals? Pretty? Yes please

Glover Mallory: no.1 Smith, thief gone good, first I've found to sell Daedric stuff, what more can you want?

Halbarn Iron-Fur: personality is on point, easily lovable, one of my favourite smiths along side Glover

Idolaf Battle-Born: Dilf with an attitude, fuck yeah

Igmund: As with Balimund, I'm not even sure

Korir: if Siddgeir and Balgruuf had a child, he's them. Personality wise anyway, bit of a wanker tho

Kraldar: idk he's just there and he's sweet

Roggi Knot-Beard: Our favourite alcoholic, lovable character, ray of sunshine.

Rune: He's baby. Todd let me help him find out who his parents are i beg

Torbjorn Shatter-Shield: Dilf, I feel so bad tho oh my god, I killed Nilsine in Muiri's quest... never again. I don't need the bonus.

Ulfric Stormcloak: I can fix him

Winterhold, Winterhold Hold, Skyrim

Home of the Mages College and not much else. Ruled by Jarl Korir.

[a-lonely-dunedain]

I usually despise this type of character but there's just... something about Jarl Korir.

Sure he hates my favorite faction in Skyrim with a passion but he's just. He's like a cartoon character to me. He's so funny and non-threatening and over the top I can't actually be mad at him. He's literally the kind of guy who would spill his mead and then shake his fist in the direction of the college yelling "these damn mages! they won't keep getting away with this!". I burst out laughing just typing that scenario, he's too funny and pathetic to hate, he's like my little jester and I want to keep him in Winterhold forever just so I can keep scrying on his silliness. His entirely one-sided beef with the only thing bringing any sort of traffic and money into his hold is so so so entertaining to me. Do you think he ever throws rotten eggs at the college walls and they just harmlessly slide off the warding spells and then he just has to walk home in the cold pouting. I think he would do that. tries to kick a rock and stubs his toe. blames the wizards for it.

Today on I Like Skyrim Characters Who Suck: Korir is a terrible jarl of the crappiest hold and I love him for that. Not unlike cosnach he just sucks so much. Every day he walks across the street to get a beer and then walks back and sits in his empty house. He stubs his toe and blames rhe mages. 10/10 wouldn’t change a thing

For the Meme, how about. . . .Jarl Korir of Winterhold?

First Impression: I thought he certainly had a very fancy chair for a guy ruling over a population that is only slightly larger than Riverwood's.

Impression Now: It...hasn't really changed. If you listen to his and Thaena's dialogue with other residents it becomes clear that despite the title of "Jarl" and getting to sit in the big fancy chair, he doesn't actually have much power in Winterhold. All he can do is gripe about Dagur making money renting rooms to people visiting the college. Thaena and Birna snipe at each other, and in one of these conversations Thaena says "Trying to keep from freezing to death, trying to keep food on the table." This makes me think that being Jarl of Winterhold only really has any sort of power when it comes to going to Moots - that is, power outside of Winterhold. Inside of it, there's really nothing.

Favorite Moment: This conversation... Korir: "Looks to be another cold day." Thaena: "Aren't they all?" Korir: "Not like this. Feels colder than usual. Bet it's those damned Mages." ...just sums everything up about Korir. If it snows (IN A PLACE CALLED WINTERHOLD) it's gotta be those rascally mages!

Idea for a Story: Since Korir moves into Brunwulf Free-Winter's house instead of the Palace of Kings if the Empire wins the civil war, I figure they MUST have some connection. I would love to see a story exploring that, and how they navigate their relationship with Korir being even more bitter but relying on an Empire-backed friend's generosity.

Unpopular Opinion: Despite how cartoonishly paranoid Jarl Korir seems about the mages...I think he's right about the College of Winterhold. Not completely right - the mages are obviously too disorganized and plotting against each other (academia is the same everywhere) to actively plot against Winterhold, or Korir personally, but really the College has a SHOCKING body count. Magic entities escape and wreak havoc in town, the college is hosting Thalmor, they go grave-robbing and bring back obviously dangerous artifacts (I can just imagine the hullaballoo marching the Eye of Magnus through town caused), entire cohorts of students just disappear...some wander off, some die horribly summoning the most blood-thirsty daedric pirate Tamriel has ever known and others turn themselves into giant balls of pure energy. And they've never fixed that bridge. The college, at this point, is an attractive nuisance at best, and a death trap for talented youth of Skyrim at worst.

Favorite Relationship: We never see them interact, but I just love that his court wizard, Malur Seloth, is a totally lazy scam artist collecting a paycheck to not be a mage. We stan a quiet quitting king and his oblivious boss.

Favorite Headcanon: These go with my unpopular opinion, that Jarl Korir is correct about the college - I think the Augur of Dunlain was responsible for the Great Collapse. The collapse occurred in 4E 22, 69 (nice) years before the events of Skyrim. Tolfdir and Colette will say that an experiment went wrong, and that it happened before their time. I think the magical forces required to turn someone into a ball of purse consciousness and energy would be enough to cause some landslides and once-in-a-century storms.

Also while I'm here, why does Skyrim's #1 magic hater have this staff and a bunch of soul gems in his bedroom?

Jarl Korir: *hates mages, hate magic, hates the college, stubs his toe and blames a wizard for it* also Jarl Korir, speaking to the new Arch-Mage: yeah you can totally be a Thane if ya want, here's a cool new sword. you're my bestie now. *turning back to his wife* Now where was I... oh yeah, I can't believe we still have a wizard staying in the local inn! it's outrageous!
