Do you guys think that they'll have something like guerrilla warfare for the separatist? Something well suited for maybe stealth based characters, along the lines of sneak-attacks, caravan robberies, and such?
I don't know if you could call them rebels or not. The separatists simply don't want to be weighed down by a crumbling empire. I think they would simply be the same proud Nords they always have been with conflicting views with the loyalists of the empire.
These are all good points. To be honest I didn't think of all the different scenarios, but, let's say, for the sake of the argument, that it's just imperialists and anti imperialists.
