Torygg found Ulfric's calls for independence moving, and respected him for voicing such a bold, borderline treasonous opinion. Torygg's father Istlod ruled as High King for almost twenty-five years, and upon his death, the moot formally named Torygg his successor (despite the disruptive presence of Ulfric, who used the forum to voice his desire for Skyrim's independence). High King Torygg was the Jarl of Solitude and High King of Skyrim until his death at the hands of Ulfric Stormcloak in 4E 201.
