*** Just prior to the events of the game, [[RebelLeader Ulfric Stormcloak]] pulls one of these on the then current High King of Skyrim, Torygg. Ulfric challenges Torygg to a duel, using an archaic [[HornyVikings Nordic]] tradition. If declined, then Torygg would be shamed and would quickly lose power and influence, allowing Ulfric to step in. Torygg accepted the duel. Ulfric then used [[SuperScream the Thu'um]] in order to ensure victory. Ulfric did not get the throne since many people viewed using the Thu'um in a duel as dishonorable, but he did gain a considerable following for his rebellion.
