Imperial Soldiers are soldiers of the Imperial Legion in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Background[]

"What the rebels like to forget is that the Empire's what's keeping the Dominion out of Skyrim."
―Imperial Soldier[src]

They are the main soldiers of the Imperial Legion located in Skyrim. While part of the Imperial forces within the province was not born in Skyrim,[1] a considerable portion of them are local recruits,[2] as the Legion in Skyrim gets few reinforcements from the rest of the Empire.[3] Legionnaires join the Legion forces in Skyrim for a variety of reasons. Some join out of tradition, as their parents were Legionnaires before them and they never considered doing anything else. Others joined out of a desire to see the world, while there were also those who joined the Legion to actively put a halt to the Stormcloaks, despite their families often disagreeing with the notion.[4]

Legionnaires within Skyrim are largely considered to be militia,[5] a feat reflected in their armor, which is often light and not meant for full-on combat.[6] While their forces are commanded by General Tullius,[7] the local recruitment process is performed by Legate Rikke.[8][3] The most common races making up the Imperial forces in Skyrim are Imperials and Nords, though Redguards, and Bretons also make up its forces. Among the officers, even a Dunmer, and Altmer Legate can be found. Dunmer farmers within Skyrim are occassionally seen making their way to Solitude to join up with the Legion,[9] as they see their treatment at the hands of the Nords as injust.[10] These Dunmer are, however, never seen as Imperial soldiers.

Battle and interactions[]

Unlike Stormcloak Soldiers, whose ranks are relatively equal in terms of gender, Legion soldiers are all males, with only four female soldiers found at the beginning of the game; one Imperial Soldier at the tower in Helgen, one Imperial Captain, one Imperial Mage fighting Alduin, and one Legate, Legate Rikke. However, it is possible for the Legionnaire's corpse at Dragontooth Crater to be female, as well as an Imperial corpse at Shor's Watchtower.

Siding with the Imperial Legion during the Civil War prompts soldiers to greet the Dragonborn with their rank.

Apparel[]

Imperial Legion Soldiers wear a full set of Imperial Light Armor, wearing either Studded Imperial Armor or normal Imperial Light Armor. They sometimes use Imperial Shields, and are armed with Imperial Swords and an Imperial Bow with Steel Arrows.

Legate Rikke and Captains wear heavier Imperial Armor with the Imperial Officer's Helmet, while normal Legates wear heavy Imperial Armor, without the helmet. They are armed with Imperial Swords and an Imperial Bow, with steel arrows at their disposal.

Imperial Quartermasters wear a Blacksmith's Apron and shoes and are armed with an Imperial Sword and Imperial Bow, with Steel Arrows.

Conversations[]

Show: At Helgen
At Helgen:

Imperial: "General Tullius, sir! The headsman is waiting!" Tullius: "Good. Let's get this over with." Lokir: "Shor, Mara, Dibella, Kynareth, Akatosh. Divines, please help me." Ralof: "Look at him, General Tullius, the Military Governor. And it looks like the Thalmor are with him. Damn elves. I bet they had something to do with this. This is Helgen. I used to be sweet on a girl from here. Wonder if Vilod is still making that mead with juniper berries mixed in. Funny, when I was a boy, Imperial walls and towers used to make me feel so safe." Haming: "Who are they, daddy? Where are they going?" Torolf: "You need to go inside, little cub." Haming: "Why? I want to watch the soldiers." Torolf: "Inside the house. Now." Haming: "Yes, papa." Imperial: "Whoa!" Captain: "Get these prisoners out of the carts. Move it!" Lokir: "Why are we stopping?" Ralof: "Why do you think? End of the line. Let's go. Shouldn't keep the gods waiting for us." Lokir: "No! Wait! We're not rebels!" Ralof: "Face your death with some courage, thief." Lokir: "You've got to tell them! We weren't with you! This is a mistake!" Captain: "Step towards the block when we call your name. One at a time." Ralof: "Empire loves their damn lists." Hadvar: "Ulfric Stormcloak. Jarl of Windhelm." Ralof: "It has been an honor, Jarl Ulfric!" Hadvar: "Ralof of Riverwood. Lokir of Rorikstead." Lokir: "No, I'm not a rebel. You can't do this!" [runs]
Captain: "Halt!" Lokir: "You're not going to kill me!" Captain: "Archers!" [Lokir is shot dead] "Anyone else feel like running?" Hadvar: "Wait. You there. Step forward. Who are you?"


Hadvar: "Captain. What should we do? He/She's not on the list." Captain: "Forget the list. He/She goes to the block." Hadvar: "By your orders, Captain. Follow the Captain, prisoner." Tullius: "Ulfric Stormcloak. Some here in Helgen call you a hero. But a hero doesn't use a power like The Voice to murder his king and usurp his throne." Ulfric: "[muffled grunts]" Tullius: "You started this war, plunged Skyrim into chaos, and now the Empire is going to put you down, and restore the peace."

After Alduin's first roar:

Hadvar: "What was that?" Tullius: "It's nothing. Carry on." Captain: "Yes, General Tullius. Give them their last rites." Priestess of Arkay: "As we commend your souls to Aetherius, blessings of the Eight Divines upon you, for you are the salt and earth of Nirn, our beloved..." Stormcloak Soldier: "For the love of Talos, shut up and let's get this over with." Priestess of Arkay: "As you wish." Stormcloak Soldier: "Come on, I haven't got all morning. My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperials. Can you say the same?" [Executed]
Stormcloak: "You Imperial bastards!" Vilod: "Justice!" Ingrid: "Death to the Stormcloaks!" Ralof: "As fearless in death as he was in life." Captain: "Next, the [player race]!" or "Next, the Nord in the rags!" (if the player is a Nord) or "Next, the renegade from Cyrodiil!" (if the player is an Imperial)

After Alduin's second roar:

Hadvar: "There it is again. Did you hear that?" Captain: "I said, next prisoner!" Hadvar: "To the block, prisoner. Nice and easy."

After Alduin roars for the third time, appears atop the tower:

Tullius: "What in Oblivion is that?" Captain: "Sentries! What do you see?" Imperial: "It's in the clouds!" Stormcloak: "Dragon!" Alduin: [Meteor-shower shout]
Headsman: "Hunh..." Tullius: "Don't just stand there! Kill that thing! Guards, get the townspeople to safety!" Ralof: "Hey, [race-dependent comment]. Get up! Come on, the gods won't give us another chance!"

Show: Vilod

Imperial Soldier: "The wounds are deep, Vilod! I can't stop the blood." Vilod: "Tell my family I fought bravely." Imperial Soldier: "Come on. Give me your hand, I'm getting you out of here." Vilod: "It's too late for that. Leave me. Save yourself."

Show: Siege on the Dragon Cult
At Forelhost:

Captain Valmir: "The research I've done seems to indicate that Skorm Snow-Strider left part of his journal here after laying siege. I believe it should indicate how to enter the blocked off sections of the stronghold. I should warn you, Forelhost is quite haunted, but I'm sure you can handle it. Return to me here once you've obtained the staff." Imperial Soldier: "Wait it's haunted? I don't like ghosts... let me think about this for a minute... Wait... who in the blazes is this?" Captain Valmir: "Oh! Um, he he... Hold on... I... I can explain..." Imperial Soldier: "Valmir, you rat. You're not a soldier at all! Must be one of the Thalmor!"

"So why'd you join up with the Legion?"

or

"How did you end up here?"

Imperial Soldier 2:

"I know it's what everyone says, "To go to new places and see the world." But it's true in my case... I never bargained on seeing more than I liked."

or

"My father was a legionnaire, and his before him. I guess I never considered doing anything else."

Civil War questline[]

Show: The Jagged Crown
At Korvanjund:

Legate Rikke: "What's the situation?" Imperial Soldier: "Stormcloaks were already camped out around the entrance when we got here. They don't know we're here yet, though." Legate Rikke: "Well, that's something at least."

At the second room:

Legate Rikke: "I don't like the look of this. Perfect spot for an ambush. Ten to one they're just waiting for us on the other side." Imperial Soldier: "But there isn't any other way through, Legate." Legate Rikke: "Let's not jump to conclusions, soldier. The Legion always finds a way. I'd rather take a moment and look around than walk blindly into an ambush. Auxiliary, see if you can find another way through. We'll charge in to help as soon as we hear fighting."

After seeing a dead draugr:

Imperial Soldier 1: "What in the nine holds is that?" Imperial Soldier 2: "Is this what killed that Stormcloak over there? Can't be. It looks like it's been dead for a hundred years." Legate Rikke: Steady now. The Legion has faced down worse than a few dusty old bonewalkers. We're not leaving here until we get what we came for. Now let's keep moving"

At the Hall of Stories:

Legate Rikke: "And this must be the Hall of Stories." Imperial Soldier 1: "Oh... I've heard of this. These walls are supposed to show the history of the ancients who built this place." Imperial Soldier 2: "Too bad we can't read these carvings. Who knows what secrets we'd uncover?" Legate Rikke: "One thing at a time soldier. Focus on our primary mission. We're searching for the crown. Looks like we weren't the first ones here, either. Even if these carvings tell us where the crown is, I'm sure we're going to have to find a way through this door. See what you can figure out auxillary, I'm going to check out these carvings over here. Let me know if you find something."

As a Stormcloak:

Imperial Soldier: "You hear anything?" Imperial Soldier 2: "No, but I know they're out there. No other way they can come. Now shut up or you'll blow our ambush." Imperial Soldier: "I don't like it. What are they waiting for?" Imperial Soldier 2: "Maybe they're so scared of you they ran away." Imperial Soldier: "Hardly likely." Imperial Soldier 2: "Just shut up and keep out of sight." Imperial Soldier: " [When detected]
Imperial Soldier: "It must be the Stormcloaks, find them!"

Show: Message to Whiterun
In Dragonsreach:

Imperial Soldier: "Sir! I... I have..." Cipius: "Take a moment to breathe, soldier." Imperial Soldier: "But... Sir..." Cipius: "Breathe!" Balgruuf: "The outer walls are strong. If we can hold them there..." Cipius: "They have catapults." Balgruuf: "Damnit. Where'd they get catapults? The city walls are already falling apart as it is." Cipius: "My scouts tell me they're loading them with fire." Balgruuf: "So, he wants to take my city, walls intact." Cipius: "The men will be fighting in the flames." Balgruuf: "My men are fearless. It's the Imperial milk drinkers I'm worried about." Cipius: "If you prefer I took my men and left..." Balgruuf: "No. Of course not. Just - don't let me down Cipius. We'll need to set up water brigades to combat the flames." Cipius: "Already taken care of." Balgruuf: "You Imperials are efficient, I'll give you that. How long until they arrive?" Imperial Soldier: "Sir." Cipius: "Not long. They're hiding in the country side." Balgruuf: "Damnit. What's he waiting for?" Imperial Soldier: "Sir!" Cipius: "What?!" Imperial Soldier: "Sir, they're on the move. They'll be at the gates at any moment!" Cipius: "Why didn't you say so immediatly?!" Imperial Soldier: "Sir, I tried." Balgruuf: "This is it! Time to see what these Stormcloaks are made of." Cipius: "The men are already gathering at the gates. Move it soldier. Spread the word. Go. Go. Go." Balgruuf: "Oblivion take them. Every miserable last one of them."

Trivia[]

  • According to the Manual of Armor, light armor is mainly used for scouts, archers, light cavalry and skirmishers, while heavy armor should be used by frontline infantry, pikemen, heavy cavalry or foot knights. Despite this, every legion soldier seen in game uses light armor.
  • Stormcloak soldiers may say that "Legion soldiers gleam like fresh-fallen snow and clank like a kitchen," but the Imperial Studded Armor that Legion soldiers wear in game does not reflect sunlight and is not noisy, thus implying that imperial soldiers would use heavy armor as well during Skyrim's Civil War (what is also implied by how Beirand says "heavy armor for full on combat" if the player questions him about the type of armor during Get Outfitted)
