I want the next game to take place in High rock. I think there are lots of Dwemer ruins there so it would be a good place to have the Dwemer return.

It is the year 4E 245. After the empire's defeat by the storm cloaks from the north and the AD from the south, high rock has been left without leadership. For the next 20 years, high rock is in chaos. All of the different Breton city states are fighting with themselves and with the orcs. This sort of interregnum goes on until a priest from daggerfall or someplace receives a vision from akatosh as well as a magical artifact, that can be used to manipulate and control time. The Bretons proclaim him they're king after he shows of his ultimate power, but the orcs hate him because he won't allow them to be built Orsinium. A civil war ensues and the orcs take over the whole eastern half of high rock due to they're military prowess. The high rock king's son however becomes all jealous of the time artifact. He steals it and runs off into the mountains. When he tries to use it though, he accidentally reverses the dragon break that caused the Dwemer to disappear. They all return to Nirn standing exactly where they were when they disappeared. They see that Tamriel is ruled by the surface dwelling primitives they had once oppressed and attempt to "civilize it" by conquering and enslaving everyone else. The king's son gets killed and the artifact is stolen by the Dwemer, who try to use it to make a weapon of some description. But akatosh hates the Dwemer. He takes part of his soul (like how Anu and Padomey did) and creates a Demi god with the spirit of an Aedra and sends them down to Nirn. You play as them and try to find the Artifact and stop the Dwemer, while siding with either faction in the war.
