Had an idea. If ES VI was set in Black Marsh, i've noticed people mentioning the diseases there. What I think is: You open up the game in a prison carriage who are transporting you through Black Marsh (to say, the Imperial City, not necessarily though) this is where you have your character creation. Suddenly, the group transporting the prisoners, Thalmor or otherwise, is attacked. This is where you escape into a nearby tunnel system. Once you travel through the cave system, the first character you meet is a mage who has been studying Black Marsh and has come up with a spell that acts like a vaccine that allows you to survive in the toxic environment, and he uses the spell on you, if you aren't Argonian. That's when you're given the whole of Black Marsh to explore. What do you think of that?
