they could always set it ahead to after the 2nd great war and have it start off as being a prisoner on a ship with a bunch of other prisoners setting sail to akavir because nothings been heard of them for such a long time but who ever winds up in charge doesn't want to waist an army to send over so they send prisoners as more of a scouting crew, maybe the akaviri have disapeared and an acient evil army is left in their place, you could find some resistance forces of akavir and they capture you and are about to kill you when they noticed you could be the one to fulfill the prophacy and end the curse over their land.
