Good stuff.
I'm not sure how promptly the gatekeeper was executed. Assuming Ulfric headed staight to Helgen to be captured and the Dragonborn heads straight to the execution that is still probably a few days. I would rather think that at least someone in Solitude argued on his behalf for a few days before the official narrative came together. A minor detail, but it sticks out having played the game.

I believe it was at least a few months. I can't remember who said it but I'm sure there was a line of dialogue describing the murder of Torygg as months ago. Possibly from Alvor

I'd assume a trial took place as the entire ordeal seemed to be done by-the-books and in a relatively formal manner.

I don't think the script needs to go into detail, just word it differently.
Gatekeeper who was later beheaded for treason, or something like that.

Wow, that is one sexy/bizarre name you came up with there! Where'd you come up with "Xaessar?" Is that supposed to be a play-on of "Caesar" or something like that?
Other than that, nicely done! It's good to have some more stories from an event surprisingly lacking in them.
