One year ago the Stormcloaks have defeated the Imperials of Skyrim and have taken control of the entire land except for the south western lands as the Forsworn have taken over the city and has finally control the Reach, before the Stormcloaks had a chance to counter attack the dark elves rebelled against the Nords by attacking main city of Skyrim, Windhelm. The elves manage to escape on a ship and killed a few guards and now they side with a Daedric lord called Azura that will guide them out of the city and away from the Stormcloaks, because of the rebellion the orcs also started to challenge the Forsworn and the Stormcloaks because both of them has been getting closer to their strongholds and keeps challenging them for war, now all the strongholds now hostile to those who serves the Stormcloaks and the Forsworn. The war has started everywhere in Skyrim and with the Imperials recovering they wouldn't be bothered to get Skyrim back so it won't be long before the elves comes to Skyrim armed to the teeth to challenge the Nords that they can still defeat them like what they did long time ago, the only thing the Nords can do is just defend the south eastern borders to stop them from coming through, with Riften's support they can push them back just as long as no one tries to interfere in this matter of time.
The new Emperor wishes to take Skyrim away from the Stormcloaks but he cannot send his army there to deal with all of this so he wishes to wait and see how the outcome goes, if the Stormcloaks can't control the peace then they will send the Imperials in to wrap this up and destroy the Stormcloaks before the elves would attack Skyrim and take it by themselves. The emperor decided to send someone there to deal with this matter by coming to Skyrim to deal with all the enemies, this one man will fight against the Forsworn, the dark elves of Azura, the orcs and of course the Stormcloaks.
A rider on a horse comes to the Riften territory, ignoring the soldiers by the road he keeps riding towards an old ancient burial ground called the Forelhost that has been taken over by those who serves the empire, the Nords still serves the Imperials and since the battles going on causing alot of trouble in Skyrim the people wishes to join together to challenge them and soon help the Imperials to get the people back on their side so they can retake this land once again. This new faction will use the old Nord weapons and armour they have found inside the ruins, they have already cleared it all out and removed all the dead corpses inside and has given themselves a new name just to not cause the Stormcloaks attention, they are called the warriors of Arnor, here to set things right in Skyrim, they only have a handful of men and woman ready to fight but they are not ready to challenge the Stormcloaks or anyone yet so they wait for this man who will come to set things right for them and Skyrim.
He rides up on the path to reach the top of this place where they train, he looks around seeing the Nords training together outside and patrolling the walls around the area, he would get off his horse and looks around, this man had black short hair and leathered clothing and a ripped cloak and no hood. He holds two weapons a long sword and a short dagger, he had a white necklace on with a sapphire in the middle, he leaves his horse to the side and walks over to the group but then someone stops him from moving forward.
"You there!" a woman called out and walks over to him, wearing a different type of Nord clothing like him but different "You the one that was called here?"
He would nod as he looks over to her "Names Talion."
"I am Lithariel a commander of Arnor, here to help the people of the Rift for now. Come." She turns back and walks to the entrance inside of the ancient ruins
Talion follows "How many followers do we have?" he asks her
She looks back as they walk "A couple of hundreds, we still got others elsewhere, we got a group in the north west in the Blades stronghold of Sky Haven, the Blades have joined our cause but must deal with the Forsworn for now." She opens the door and looks back "Come." She walks through
Talion would follow her down below "What is the news on the front has the elves made a move on Riften?"
"They have attacked that defensive position the Riften Guards made but they are still holding for now, if the Thalmar defeats them then they will attack Riften and soon they will come here so we can't let that happen, we already got a few people helping the guards." She looks out seeing others preparing themselves to move out.
"Then tell me where i should go and i will take care of it." Talion stops and looks over to the men
She would look back "The Orc chief is preparing to attack the northern town, if they take that place then they will attack, but try and kill the chief, the orcs will retreat."
"I could always go there personally and-"
"No." She stopped him from ending his sentence "You cannot end a war by yourself."
"Then how did the Stormcloaks won the war?"
She would remain silent and turns back "Just deal with the orcs." She walks off elsewhere inside the tomb
The soldier's walks up to him, four of them stand ready "We are ready to help sir. Lead on."
"I prefer to do this alone, just stay back and deal with the orcs if they come to you." He turns back and walks out of the room, the men would just follow him outside
Talion gets on his horse and rides towards the west to a town called Ivarstead there the orcs will attack that place and take its resources to use against Riften. Talion rides fast towards that town but will be too late to get them out of there, the guards would run behind him but they can't catch up, he keeps going while they keep moving down the road and moves to the north to the town. The town will be attacked by the orcs and only five guards are stationed there and everyone else are not really fighters so all they can do is just run while the guards fight the orcs when they come.
The Orc chief lead by six orcs with him charges towards the town, they would see it coming and prepare to fight but they will not stand a chance, Talion was still far away but he saw the town under attack, he looks back seeing the men still moving so he got off his horse and runs towards the town. He would quickly jump up on one of the buildings and runs on top of it, he spots the Orc chief striking down the last guard of this town, he would run up on the houses and then jumps down to assassinate one of the orcs before clashing against the chief, he jumps down and stabs his dagger through the Orc in the back, he jumps up and draws his long sword.
"Human filth!" the chief yelled out and swings his axe, he clashes with Talion's sword and moves his sword to the side as he stares at his face "You Nords will feel the wrath of lord Malacath!" he pushes Talion back and then holds his axe with two hands to it. The other orcs would watch this.
The chief keeps swinging his axe at him while he moves back and evades it, he charges towards him but Talion looks back and runs up the wall and back flips behind him, he swings his sword at the chief and cuts his back but the chief swings his axe back with one hand to it but missed, Talion would swing again but the chief blocks it and then he hits him again in the middle of the axe and then stabs down to stab through his neck then swings out of its body. The chief stood there for a moment but he falls to the ground as he is dead. The other orcs was about to charge but the men that came to Talion arrived; two of them stab their swords through the orcs back and then finishes off the others.
Talion looks at the dead Orc then looks around seeing four guards dead and three citizens killed, the rest ran off elsewhere. "Damn it." He said to himself then looks to the others "Let us report back, if we see the orcs coming then we change plans."
"Yes sir." He turns back and tells the others to move out.
Talion gets his horse and rides slowly with the other men back to the base; they would look around along the road to make sure they are not being followed but they can tell there are those out there that will want to take them on. During the walk one of the men walks up next to him and wanted to ask him a few things.
"You're Talion from Cyrodiil are you not?"
"Yes... ordered by the emperor himself to come here." He said while not facing the man
"So he is still helping us... what is the news on the south?"
"He will not send the Imperials until the Stormcloaks are defeated, he wishes for the people to call for the Imperials."
"It will be a while before that happens." One of them behind the horse said it "The citizens still think the Stormcloaks can bring back the peace if they defeat the Forsworn."
"Ulfric Stormcloak may have won the fight but he wasn't smart enough, he underestimates the other forces in this land, he ignored the Forsworn preparing to attack the Sell swords in the south. The dark elves were ready to rebel but he didn't care and now all he cares is the elves and that's all."
"Yeah we know... Forsworn controls the city, the orcs are attacking four areas, the dark elves rebellion to the Nords and i think there is another rumour about the dragons targeting Whiterun and Winterhold, if the dragons take Winterhold then the mages can take over that place." Said the one next to Talion
"That will not happen, the Dragonborn is still alive and he will help protect this world against the war that is coming but he has chosen the side of Ulfric..." he stops for the moment "Did you hear that?"
They too would stop and looks around; they all grip the handles of their swords. "What is it?" one of them said while looking around the place.
Suddenly the orcs charges out of nowhere, they were hiding and waiting for them. "The Forsworn!" One of them yelled out as they come, they draw their swords and clash against them.
Talion draws his sword but then two arrows hits his horse, he falls off the horse and holds his sword ready as he gets up, he saw the Briar heart standing there and charges with one sword ready. He collides against his sword "The Reach belongs to the Forsworn, not you Stormcloaks!" he pushes Talion back and charges again.
The other men fights against the Forsworn, killing three of them but then one of the men gets hit by an arrow to the chest and then an axe to the shoulder to finish him off, the other man saw him die so he charges to stab the one who got him then uses his body for a shield to block the arrow coming then charges to the archer before he draws another arrow. Talion clashes against the Briar heart for a while but then he jumps over him and stabs his dagger through his neck; he kicks him to the ground as he dies then looks to the others as they are struggling to defeat the rest, the moment he goes to help the rest of the Forsworn retreats after they lost their strong fighter to him. They watch them flee close to the orcs, they know the orcs can deal with them so they take the dead soldier they lost and return to the mountain to report to the others.
They return to Forelhost where they report and burn the body of the dead soldier that fought against the orcs and the Forsworn, they all stand around the fire and Lithariel would walk off elsewhere to the entrance to this place, she looks out at the view and notices Talion walking over to her.
"The Forsworn are coming closer... that means they went past Falkreath and Helgen to come here." She looks back "How did they get there... the Forsworn wouldn't come here unless they..."
"They know they are losing so they send troops elsewhere to find help." Talion takes out a note and lends it to her "I got this off the Briar heart.
She takes it and reads it "You are ordered as your king... move to Helgen to take that fort, do not attack the people of Falkreath, leave that to the Dark Covenant, they will attack Falkreath while we fight the Stormcloaks, all i want is what is going on to the east, i want to know if the elves are coming-" she stops reading "They were scouts, they came from the passage to the west."
"Heard of the Dark Covenant before?" Talion said to her
She throws the letter away "Never heard of them, probably something new, but if they are targeting Falkreath then we need to act before it's too late."
"I will go there alone."
"Fine then, only you can see whats going on, if we lose all the southern cities then Skyrim will be half lost... we must act, i will have no choice but to send troops to fight the orcs in the west and then we go to the north, i want you to go to Whiterun to see how that is going then regroup with my people in the west, they will find you."
"Ok then... good luck. I will see you later then Lithariel." He would walk out of the base
She looks back at him "May the eight watches over your battles friend..." she lets a deep sigh then goes off to tell the others the next plan of attack.
