Prologue
Tamriel 4E204
It has been three years since the famous event known as the "dragon crisis" took place in the land of Skyrim. The province, already shaken by the civil war, became the theater of the return and resurrection of the mythic dragons, thanks to their old master: Alduin the World Eater. Having once more forsaken his purpose as ending the world to start a new one, Alduin intended to enslave with his lesser brother the mortal races to rule the present kalpa. Nothing would have stopped him if it wasn't for one person: the last dragonborn, Ysmir dragon of the north and new bearer of the Stormcrown. Not much is known of what has transpired but after slaying countless of his underlings and using the ancient art of the thu'um, the dragonborn managed to slay Alduin and thus punishing him for his greed. The remaining dragon were let free to roam the skies for some of them spoke against their older brother's schemes. As for the dragonborn, his goal accomplished, he wandered for a time around Skyrim in quest of new challenges for his godly powers. Some have said he was responsible for ending an uprising vampire threat by shouting a giant castle and burning to ashes an unholy bloodsucker king. Others have claimed his journey ended in Solstheim where after a battle worthy of the heroes of old happened between him and the very first dragonborn. What is known however is his mysterious disappearance much like his predecessors the Nerevarine, the Hero of Kvatch or the Eternal Champion. Thus nobody could remember how they were, their race and gender, even the ones who met them.
But legendary tales aren't the only thing that came with this event.
Politics became quickly to change. The infamous Riften's Thieves guild was dismantled and most members killed or arrested, the Black-Briar family herself was exposed for her criminal activities and lost its influence and wealth. The family's leader, Maven Black-Briar was arrested and executed for high treason by the jarl. Unfounded rumors say it was a new and honorable thieves guild which was the cause of their doom. Biggest change though was the emperor's assassination by the Darkbrotherhood. His heir became reknown for standing against the Thalmor and their presence within imperial territories in spite of the White-gold concordat. His immediate entourage composed of Colovians, traditionalist Nords and even Dominion refugees didn't help at all. The justiciars began to ensue a lot of assassination four months after the crowning all over the empire. Despite the lack of proof against the new emperor, diplomatic relations with the Aldmeri Dominion became strained and more hostile. In return imperial authorities did their best to slow the thalmor agent's movements. In result of this new politic, the Stormcloak's lost almost all supporters as more began to see Ulfric as a blinded angry warlord. Thus the civil war came to a swiftly end and the deposed jarl was exiled as a show of mercy. After this, it became soon clear to the people of Tamriel that a new war between the Dominion and the "Free world" is inevitable. Only one question remain: "When?"
