Two hundred years have passed since the events of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, with the story taking place in 4E 201, the year 201 of the Fourth Era. The High King of Skyrim has been assassinated, and the threat of civil war looms over the province: one faction wishes to secede from a weakened Third Empire and reinstate the cult of Talos, while the other wishes to remain attached to it. This schism is the final event in a prophecy foretold in the Elder Scrolls, which would lead to the return of the Dragons led by Alduin, the Norse god of destruction.
