Dragons return to Skyrim. A Nord that is part of the Stormcloak Rebellion is believed to be Dragonborn by Stormcloaks, the remaining members of The Blades, The Greybeards, and some soldiers in the Imperial Legion. After a dragon attacks Solitude and the Thalmor suffer defeats against the Redgaurd armies in the Alik'r Desert, the remaining High Elves flee Skyrim, except the Solitude ambassor, Thameus, who is to continue advising General Tullius.

The North is devasted by war and the legends of the old times return. One Nord struggles between the balance of honor and destiny, battling the Imperial Legion, Thalmor Justicars, undead in ancient crypts, giant spiders, necromancers, dragons, and the son of a god.

1. Helgen


 * Imperials ambush Ulfric and Stormcloaks at Darkwater Crossing and they are taken to Helgen to be executed.  A dragon attacks Helgen.  Ulfric, Galmor and the rest of the Stormcloaks escape back to Windhelm (Ulfric tells Thiiydril to deliver news to Brynjolf of the Imperial Ambush and to find out if they were betrayed by Mercer Grey)Ralof goes to Riverwood, Dragonborn goes to Whiterun to warn Jarl Baalgruf of the Dragon attack.  Baalgruf is hesitant to trust the Dragonborn due to his Stormcloak allegiance and Ulfric's desire for Whiterun.  The Jarl's court wizard Farengar sends the Dragonborn to Bleak Falls Barrow, where he recovers the Dragonstone and sees his first Word Wall.  Upon returning to Whiterun to deliver the Dragonstone, the Dragonborn is informed that a dragon has been spotted by Whiterun's Western Watchtower.  The Dragonborn slays the Dragon, absorbs its power, and shouts at the sky.  The Whiterun soldiers at Western Watchtower are the first to call the hero Dragonborn.  Irileth, Jarl Baalgruf's Housecarl, tells the Dragonborn to deliver the news of Western Watchtower to the Jarl.  When he is near the city gates, the Greybeards summon the Dragonborn.

2. Dragonborn


 * First meeting between The Greybeards and the Last Dragonborn.  The Greybeards teach the

Dragonborn the second word of Unrelenting Force and the first word of Whirlwind Sprint. Arngeir tells the Dragonborn about the Thu'um and sends him to Ustengrav to retrieve the horn of Jurgen Windcaller. He travels to Ustengrav, but instead of the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, the Dragonborn finds a note from "a friend" which tells him to go the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood. The Dragonborn goes to Sleeping Giant Inn, where Delphine reveals that she stole the horn. She does not reveal that she is The Last Blade yet, but she does tell the Dragonborn that she gave Farengar the information on the Dragonstone and only wishes to help the Dragonborn. Delphine tells Dovahkiin that Dragons aren't just returning to Skyrim, they're coming back to life. She suspects the Thalmor are behind the resurrections and tells the Dovahkiin that only the Dragonborn can kill a dragon permanently by absorbing their soul.

3. Diplomatic Immunity


 * The Dovahkiin finally returns to Windhelm and tells Ulfric about what happened at the Western Watchtower.  Ulfric gives the Dragonborn an axe to deliver to Jarl Baalgruf; if Baalgruf keeps the axe, Whiterun will become a part of the Stormcloak rebellion, if Baalgruf gives the axe back, the Stormcloaks will take Whiterun by force.  The Dragonborn and Delphine leave Whiterun and pass Kynsegrove, where they are warned by a local villager that there is a dragon in Kynesgrove.  The Dragonborn and Delphine investigate and find two dragons, one being Alduin.  Alduin speaks to the Dragonborn before telling the other dragon to kill the Nord, then he flies away.  When speaking to the Dragonborn, Alduin does not reveal that he is the World-Eater.  After the Dragonborn slays the Dragon and absorbs its soul, proving to Delphine that he is indeed Dragonborn, she reveals that she is the Last Blade.  She tells the history of the Great War, and repeats her theory that the Thalmor are responsible for the Dragons returning.  The Dragonborn brings Ulfric's message to Jarl Baalgruf in Whiterun and tries to convince him to join the rebellion.  Baalgruf refuses.  The Thalmor Ambassador, Elenwen, throws a party at the Thalmor Embassy, and the Dragonborn infiltrates the party to find any information the Thalmor have on the dragons returning.  After finding multiple dossiers and freeing Fultheim, who believed he himself was the last remaining Blade, the Dragonborn escapes the Elven Embassy.

4. The Way Of The Voice


 * The Dragonborn brings Fultheim and the Thalmor dossiers to Delphine in Riverwood.  She is very surprised to see Fultheim and to hear that Esbern is alive.  The Dragonborn returns to Windhelm and gives Ulfric Jarl Baalgruf's response.  Ulfric tells his men to prepare to attack Whiterun.  While the Stormcloak forces move towards Whiterun, the Dragonborn brings the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller to the Greybeards and is formally greeted as Dragonborn.  Their voices during this greeting can be heard throughout Skyrim, and shortly after the epic Battle For Whiterun begins, resulting in a Stormcloak victory.  Jorleif is murdered in the Palace of the Kings, with a red hand stamped on his face with his own blood.

5. Resurrection


 * After the victory in Whiterun, Ulfric reveals his plans to take Falkreath.  Ralof, the Dragonborn, and a few other Stormcloaks are to infiltrate Fort Neugrad, free the Stormcloaks being held prisoner, and after liberating the fort, Ysarald and his men storm into Falkreath.  During the Battle for Falkreath, Alduin resurrects a dragon, witnessed by the Dragonborn.  Both dragons burn Falkreath and the Imperials retreat North

6. Yol


 * The Dragonborn brings news of Alduin and Falkreath's destruction to the Greybeards.  Arngeir is angered by the Dragonborn's alliance with the Blades and does not believe he is ready to learn the secrets of Alduin, but the Greybeards teach him clear skies nonetheless and allow him to travel to The Throat of the World to meet their leader, Parthurnax.  Parthurnax tells the Dragonborn about Alduin, Akatosh's first born son, and questions him about his destiny.  Although he knows he's not, Paarthurnax tells the Dragonborn to go to Ironbind Barrow to see if he is ready to face Alduin.  In Ironbind Barrow, the Dragonborn and his companions encounter an extremely powerful Dragon Priest and his undead servants.  A Psyjic Monk appears in the crypt and saves the Dragonborn from the Dragon Priest and tells him to go to the College of Winterhold.  Due to the dragon resurgence, many Thalmor have begun to flee Skyrim.  Brynjolf and Thiiydril are hunting down Mercer Grey, still questioning his betrayal.  Ralof, who Galmor put in charge of Falkreath, is murdered and the same red-painted-hand is left as a message on his corpse.

7. Sky Haven Temple


 * Morthal is attacked by a dragon.  The Dragonborn and his companions go to the College of Winterhold, where they meet Savos Aren, the Arch-Mage.  In the Arch-Mages quarters, the Psyjic who saved the Dragonborn appears and speaks to him and the Arch-Mage about the Dragon Priests and the undead.  Savos Aren tells the Dragonborn that he knows where Esbern is and burns Ancano as they leave the College of Winterhold.  Ulfric has Brynjolf desperately trying to find Mercer Grey and Jorleif's murderer.  The Dragonborn, Delphine, Fultheim, Nora, and Savos Aren arrive in Riften and Brynjolf tells them where Esbern is, but he warns them that the Thalmor just arrived as well.  They battle Thalmor agents in the Ratway Warrens and find Esbern.  Esbern tells the Dragonborn about the prophecy and his destiny.  They go to Sky Haven Temple and find Alduin's Wall.  The Listener of the Dark Brotherhood gathers all the pieces of Mehrunes Razor and Mehrunes Dagon remakes the weapon at his Shrine

8. Alduin's Bane


 * The Dragonborn and Savos Aren go to High Hrothgar to see if the Greybeards know anything of the shout the ancient Nords used to defeat Alduin.  Arngeir tells the Dragonborn about Dragonrend.  Paarthurnax tells the Dragonborn an Elder Scroll will allow him to travel back in time and learn Dragonrend from the Nords who created it.  Savos Aren tells the Dragonborn about Septimus Signus and they go to his outpost in the North.  He gives them the location of the Elder Scroll, and the Dragonborn and the Arch-Mage recover it.  Both Solitude and Windhelm are attacked by a dragon.  By this time, fear of dragons, assassins, and war has spread through every corner of Skyrim.  The Night Mother tells The Listener to go to Septimus Signus

9. Season Unending


 * Truce meeting at High Hrothgar between the Stormcloaks and Imperials.  General Tullius tells Ulfric he knows absolutely nothing about Jorleif and Ralof's assassinations.  After the truce is reached, the Dragonborn captures a dragon in Dragonsreach.  Karliah, one of the three Nightingales, reveals Mercer Grey's secrets to Brynjolf and Thiiydril.  Thiiydril eventually finds and kills Mercer.

10. Skuldalfn


 * The Dragonborn infiltrates Alduin's lair, Skuldalfn.  Brynjolf and Thiiydril go to the Twilight Sepulcher and become Nightingales.  The Night Mother tells the Listener to go to Whiterun and kill the Dragonborn.

11. Sovngarde


 * The Dragonborn travels to Sovngarde and the final battle between Alduin and the Last Dragonborn occurs.  Ysmir slays the World-Eater and Tsun sends him to the Throat of the World, where all the dragons of Skyrim have gathered to recognize the one with the most powerful Thu'um, the Dragonborn.  Under Paarthurnax's rule, the dragon calamity seems to be over.  Ysmir travels to Whiterun and, standing in front of the Shrine of Talos in Whiterun, tells the people of Whiterun that he has defeated Alduin and that the Dragon problem is over.  The joy of the people echoes throughout Whiterun, but their cheers turn to horrid screams as the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, an Orc named Mauloch, murders the Dragonborn amidst the people and escapes the city

I know my vision will likely never be seen in a series, because the budget would be insanity, but I couldn't resist not sharing what I think they should do for an Elder Scrolls T.V. show, especially after I saw the live-action film "Into The Void." I am thinking of having the Dawngaurd quest as a part of this story, but not until at least season 3.

My ideas for the "2nd season" are pretty much all together as well, I will post the ideas I have for the S2episodes soon. To all the fans of the Elder Scrolls series, your ideas and constructive criticism are gladly accepted. We all need to come together with ideas to make the ultimate Skyrim story. The main thing is: The Listener kills The Dragonborn in the final moments of Season 1, but Delphine notices that the assassin took his soul with some kind of star(Azura's Star). The Listener does this because he wants Ysmir's power of the Thu'um, he believes that if he defeats him in Azura's Star, he will gain the power of the voice and his Thu'um will be as powerful as a Dragonborns. However, the Listener steals the Star from the Shrine of Azura, and the Dragonborn is the Dragonborn because the Gods chose it. The idea of a God in this world is the greatest human philisophical debate, but in the Elder Scrolls, the 8 are established, and Talos is the great debate. Ysmir is very similar to Tiber Septim. My idea is that Delphine will rush the Dragonborn to the College of Winterhold after his death to try and bring him back to life, and he'll lie there dead for the entire first episode of season 2. Once Delphine has the Star of Azura, it disappears from her hand and appears next to the Dragonborn, who awakes at the College of Winterhold. At the beginning of episode 2, the Augment of Dunlain will explain to the Dragonborn the Deadric Princes. The Dark Brotherhood and the Daedra are the main idea for Season 2; the main antagonist for Season 2 and the following seasons (his death will not be easy) is the Orc Mauloch (later you find out he is Malacath's champion), who is the Listener of The Dark Brotherhood, hunting down daedric weapons and killing any in his path. Season 2 reveals many Dark Brotherhood assassins, such as the (Bosmer)Thalmor Ambassador Thameus. Seasons 1&2 take place solely in Skyrim. Season 3 involves all of Tamriel.
