Runilt was a Dark Elf living in Windhelm. Like all Dunmer in Windhelm, he lived in a shabby little house in the Gray Quarter. Dark Elves like him were not trusted in Windhelm, because the Nords who lived there had an ongoing hatred for elves ever since the Great War. The same went for the Argonians, but instead of living in shabby houses in the Gray Quarter, Argonians were forced to live on the docks, with no roof. One night Runil was at the new Gnisis Cornerclub talking to his friend Aval Atheron when there was a commotion outside. Runilt, Aval, the inkeeper Ambarys Rendar and his assistant Malthyr Elenil rushed outside and found Rolff Stone-Fist beating up Revyn Sadri.
"You stupid little Elves never should have come here! NEVER!"
Revyn screamed in pain as Rolff pulled out his dagger. But as he was about to kill Revyn, Runilt intervened and punched Rolff in the stomach. Rolff staggered a bit, then got up and stabbed Runilt in the chest. Runilt fell to the floor just as a guard came, knocked out Rolff, and started to haul him off to the dungeon. Aval and Ambarys helped up Revyn, while Malthyr stayed by Runilt's side. Two more guards came and bandaged him up, and Runilt fainted from the pain. They picked him up, then brought him to Helgird, a priestess of Arkay. She used as many healing spells as she could, but Runilt would not recover. After two days of pain and agony, Runilt died. He was embalmed but not put in the Hall of the Dead. All the Dark Elves in the Gray Quarter honored him by giving him a Traditional Funeral. Even Ulfric Stormcloak came to pay his respects to a hero who sacrificed his life to save a friend in need. He was buried just outside Windhelm in a marked grave. Rolff was temporarily let out of prison to pay his respects, but all he did was spit on the grave and get a longer sentence. The Dark Elves in the Gray Quarter felt that Runilt should be honored more than that. They believed that Skyrim was home to more than just Nords.
The Dunmer, Led by Revyn Sadri, rallied the Argonians and started a rebellion in Windhelm. They did not seek to overthrow Ulfric and the Nords, but to be treated equally. Many Nord Citizens of Windhelm admired their cause, but just as many opposed it. Brunwulf Free-Winter convinced many people to help the Dunmer and Argonians, but others, such as Rolff Stone-Fist (After he was let out of prison) and Angrenor Once-Honored rallied people against the Rebellion.
Ulfric Vowed not to take part in this, that he would just keep the peace. His steward Jorleif favored the Dunmer, along with his bodyguard, Galmar Stone-Fist (Rolff's brother). Eventually, the Dunmer protested outside the Palace of the Kings, and Ulfric decided to let the Argonians into the city, and let them move into the Gray Quarter, which was now renamed the Snow Quarter, and was renovated to make it a fit place to live in. The Dunmer were finally allowed to live outside the Snow Quarter. And Windhelm was finally a nice place, All because one Dark Elf named Runilt sacrificed his life to save a friend in need.
