Here is a proposal to pick up after the events of Skyrim. The Aldmeri Dominion decides another invasion of Cyrodil in the near future isn't viable, so the elves adopt a long term strategy to outgrow the empire by colonizing Akavir outside the empire's domain, planning to eventually become an overwhelming super-power. The empire's spies learn of the plan and the empire quickly starts setting up competing colonizes in another part of Akavir through the East Empire Company. The Aldmeri Dominion reintroduces slave labor into its society and uses it to get the colonies up and running quickly (the player character is a prisoner working in the slave labor force). Things go well for both sides for a number of years because Akavir is strangely deserted (inset plot device) of intelligent life forms for the colonies to deal with. Suddenly strange attacks start happening to both sides, both sides suspect the other naturally, the prisoner either gets a chance to escape or is somehow recruited into an effort to find out what's going on, and the game begins.
