The year is 4 E 210 five years after the Civil War was ended Balgruuf was declared High King of Skyrim. What happened was that Ulfric and the Stormcloaks won the Civil War, Ulfric managed to stay High King for a couple months, until, tragedy, an assassin hired from Imperial Loyalists had successfully silenced the new High King. In this time of Chaos Balgruuf managed to gain enough support from both Stormcloaks and Imperials and become new High King, turning Whiterun into the capital. Despite Balgruuf sympathizing with the Empire, he kept Skyrim independent but remained allies with the Empire and didn't actively engage the Dominion.

This was a bad decision for Skyrim though, as Balgruuf turned out to be a terrible High King, due to his inability to make tight decisions Skyrim barely recovered from the war, which caused some of the Noble Families (Silver-Blood, Black-Briar) to start rising in power, controlling more and more of the land and exploiting the people. In addition, as Balgruuf started to lose control of Skyrim, he started to practice authoritarianism in order to keep his power as a king, he started to pass laws that benefitted the nobles and himself. Allowing them to keep most of the money, food, power, etc.

After Skyrim became independent from the Empire works from Leopold Trax started to come up, as well as some of the writings of Percius. Trax wrote about a way of life called "Communism" where everyone shared the wealth, nobody was hungry, everyone had a home, it was pretty much a paradise. While Percius talked more about how a monarchy was meaningless and how people had the potential to rule themselves with a new system he called "Republics". Trax also supported the ideas of Percius and thought Communism could only exist with a Republic, as the people should be able to choose their leaders.

With Balgruuf and the other Noble families of Skyrim becoming Bourgeois by the very day, a revolution has came up, one lead by the "Communist Party of Skyrim" which hopes to make Skyrim abandon it's Hierarchical ways and form the paradise Trax wrote about.

Bio: Boramir was born to a Taven Waitress as the bastard son of Tobjorn Shatter-Shield. He lived in Windhelm's slums hardly getting enought to eat, and overall having harmful living conditions. Him and his mother both worked to try and get money, but none the less life was tough, and his childhood was wasted working like a slave and still not having enough to furfill his basic needs. When he was a Teenager his mother married a merchant who just moved to Windhelm, this helped their finacial situation, but this man was a strict, abusive parent whom Boramir despised. One day after the constant physical and mental abuse from his step-dad, Boramir fought back and nearly murdered him, after this, his step-dad and mom decided he should be sent to Riften and put into priest school. He then studied to become a priest of the Aedra Zenithar. There he learned about all the beliefs of Trax and how people could live equally getting everything they need in addition to the ideas of Republics and rule from the people instead of Monarchs. He eventually left the school and joined the Communist Party of Skyrim, he rose up in it to become the leader. Where he is now advocating for Traxist beliefs to be implemented in Skyrim's government system...
