The Empire of Tamriel will soon fall. The High King of Skyrim has been assassinated. Alliances are formed according to the pretenders to the throne.
This conflict has unfortunately awakened a much greater and more dangerous evil. The Dragons, long forgotten from the Elder Scrolls, return to Tamriel.
The future of Skyrim and the entire Empire rests on a prophecy of the return of a son of a dragon: a hero with the power of the Voice, the one and only capable of facing dragons.
