3.1 Winterun Religions and Clans

             I have spent some time in winter run collection information and two things appealed to me first the religion and the clan conflict in Winterun. The religion appealed to me because of the missionary screaming in Witnterun and the clan topic appealed to me because previously I chose Gray mane when Adolaf asked me and kept screaming after words.

             Religion, after a brief walk around Winterun I was able to Identify religious figures through their costume. The priest and the missionary were wearing a yellow rope which is apparently considered a religious costume in Skyrim.i found out that there are two religious groups in Skyrim one who owns the Kynareth and they own a temple and believes in a holy tree just outside of the temple and the other, I only found one missionary, believes in Talos .The Kynareth religion preformed and interesting healing prayer for wounded soldiers.it is also said that the tree is a branch of the oldest tree in Skyrim. For the missionary I heard him yelling about Talos so I went to investigate who Talos was. I came to conclude that Talos was a Nord who as the missionary described had the ability to look into people’s hearts and the Voice that made him rule Skyrim

Clans in Winterun I got to talk to several members of both clans the Battle Borns and the Gray Mane. I got the idea that both clans were in conflict. So I wanted to look into the conflict and what caused it. Apparently the Battle Borns and the Gray Manes were both respected clans that had roots in Whiterun. What started the conflict was the battle born alliance with the imperials both clans had different perspectives of this event the Battle Born saw it as a step towards civilization and welfare. However the Gray Mane saw it as betrayal of their ancestor’s beliefs and becoming servants for the imperials.
