Imagine........

It is a few years after the events of Skyrim, and whether the Stormcloaks won, or the Imperials did, the Aldmeri Dominion rush into sKyrim to takecharge of it for their own.

You're off the coast of Elsewyr, on a ship belonging to the Aldmeri Dominion, on your way to Black Marsh. You are a prisoner (how TES cliche!). A high elf mage is using magic to remove your memories. Being halfway through the process, you dont remember your crime. Another elf asks you who you are, to test your memory (here's the point where you customize your character's look).

A storm's rolling in, so the high elves go up on deck to help their comrades. A wood elf is also chained up nearby. He hasn't undergone the memory wiping process. He tells you that he is part of a rebellion, against the Aldmeri Dominion. When you quiz him about yourself, he doesn't know who you are, but before he has his memory wiped, he wishes to recruit you for the rebellion's cause. The storm suddenly hits, and the boat is smashed by a giant wave. Both yours and his chains come loose, and in the commotion amongst the high elves, you and the wood elf jump off the ship in hopes of washing up on the nearby shore.

This is what I hope will be the start of Elder Scrolls VI: Southern Lands, where you help grow a rebellion in Valenwood, Elsewyr and Black Marsh, the key allied territories of the Aldmeri Dominion (excluding Black Marsh).

In Elder Scrols VII, the scrolls foretell the return of Talos, that he will be reborn to rid the elves of control and bring back the empire. You are another adventurer who is now part of the great rebellion who is in all out war with the dominion. You must unite the rest of Tamriel by negotiation with the reborn Tiber Septim and you and he will lead the last fight against the Dominion on the Summerset isles. Yes, by the time its released, technology will be good enough that TES 7 will hopefully have the entire Tamriel.

These are purely my own wishes and speculations!
