For centuries, the Dunmer of House Dres have been notorious for their practice of slave labor, the cruelty of the slave-lords knowing no bounds. But how dark can the shadow of oppression grow? What happens when a slave is pushed too far? Will he rise and revolt against his masters? Will he risk death to achieve his freedom? And if so, will he succeed, or only die trying?

Four souls journey to the north at a time of crisis. Dragons have returned and threaten the land. Now Skyrim's fate lies in the hands of foreigner, a kind Argonian who wears a killer's mantle. He must rise and become the greatest dragon slayer the world has ever known, and he must do it against all odds… for there are those, in the name of justice, who would see him die trying.
