Maybe the stormcloaks win the war with the empire and push them out of skyrim with many casualties. Before then making a truce with the new King of the Empire. Because of this truce the dominion stab the empire in the back and attack the imperial city.Together the emipire and stormcloaks then invade the dominion who are in control of the summerset isles, vakenwood and elsweyr. The Elder scrolls 6 then starts at the point when the new stormcloak/empire alliance has got a large grip in valenwood and elsweyr (like winterhold in skyrim) and the dominion have mostly been pushed back into the isles. You can then be part of either the dominion in a story line that finally afer years of war finally takes back valenwwod and elsweyr and  end  the imperial empire once and for all and then go on after the game finished you take back the imperial city and be the main force in tamriel. Or you join the empire where you work with the Stormcloaks to firstly take complete control of the valenwood and elsweyr and then later attack the summerset isles and end the dominion once and for all. The Empire regain there former strength and then contol 4 of the Tamriel provinces. Or last but my fav is the Stormcloak, where you again with the empire attack the isles and defeat the dominion but after when son of Ulfrick Stormcloak the new stormcloak king realises that the Empire are weak, you then have an assualt on the Empires stronghold in valenwood. The stormcloaks growing power is too much for the few remaining dominion and depleted empire and a new contolling power takes control. The new ruling stormcloaks take control of the Empire and the imprial city, begining the 4th era........

The problem with this is, the different story lines are too important for Bethesda to avoid mentioning it. And a Stormcloak attack on Valenwood? Before attacking Cyrodiil? Their just gonna circumnavigate Tamriel to transport soldiers and supplies, are they? That would make absolutely no sense from a strategic or tactical point of view, as it would be very isolated (like the Disaster at Ionith). I get that Nords are good sailors, but it would be impracical and dangerous (why ideas about the Dominion attacking Skyrim annoy me). I suppose a Dragon Break could work, but I don't really see how that would come into it (they can't use the Numidium again).
