Well if the whole "Thalmor" thing isn't resolved in a Skyrim DLC, the next game will probably be set in the Summerset Isles or one of the Dominion's provinces like Elswyr and Valenwood. From that point it will be about either joining or defeating the Dominion and starting a new empire/restoring the old one. (Hopefully it is one or the other because I don't like the way choices like that affect the lore).

But yeah, most likely you'll have to save the Empire and Talos will come down and tell you your mission is to unite the continent once more (hopefully because of an Akaviri invasion)

That would be epic
