I hate to burst the bubble of people who have only played Skyrim in the Elder Scrolls series, but the next game will have NOTHING to do with Skyrim or the Dragonborn. No game in the series has ever had much to do with with the previous games, except for maybe a few rumors about the previous protagonist. There won't be any Shouts, it won't take place in Skyrim, dragons won't be a big part of it, etc. That's what's great about the TES series: it's a brand new story, location and protagonist each time. The Thalmor might be a part of it, but that'll likely be the extent of it's relation to Skyrim.
