Skyrim: For the Empire

Description

...
The lone traveler halted her walking when five human shapes emerged from the mist still lingering on the road ahead of her. When the shapes came a bit closer she recognized them to be Stormcloak soldiers.
"This was a bad day for you, dog of the Empire!" -one of the soldiers said.
The traveler didn't reply but just unsheated her two handed battle axe and stood still, waiting. The Stormcloaks spread out and approached her in a crescent formation with their weapons drawn.
"You should really let me pass peacefully." - the traveler said to the soldiers.
"Let you pass? Yes, we will let you pass in peace. To your GRAVE!"
Stormcloaks rushed forward but at that very moment the traveler began to talk. First it was like a quiet whisper but with each word it grew stronger until it was a thundering shout:
"FUS-RO-DAH!"
And a shout it indeed was but like nothing which the soldiers had heard before. It struck them like a shockwave and tossed them around like ragdolls. The pressure threw two of them straight to the gaping gorge which opened next to the road and their receding screams of horror could be heard for a long time. The other three were thrown from their feet and layed now on the ground in shock. And before they could clear their minds or stand up or rise their weapons, the lone traveler had leaped amid of them. Battle axe stroke down twice and only one Stormcloak was still alive. He tried to recover and yelled with a shocked voice: "WHAT are you?"
The traveler turned and rose her axe again.
"I am dragonborn."
The axe stroke down for the third time.
...

Well, I have been playing Skyrim quite a lot lately and here is one of my dragonborns, Ingred. She is a Nord and a devout imperial.

That imperial armor is not 100% accurate compared to the game design. I modified it a bit and added a different helmet too. But overall the base design is there. And I may add that it was a pain to draw. :XD:

Skyrim is (c) to Bethesda.

I have to say that the imperial armor you drew is actually accurate if we have the Lore in mind. We have many dialogues that show that many imperials do use the heavy version in the Lore and we also see lots of imperial plate armor in many TES Legends cards about the Civil War. Also in the Lore each armor piece and weapon is mostly unique just like how it was in real life (this is not seen in game becaus3 it would be a pain in the ass to add countless models for a single weapon).
