Let's talk about our own lore and story, here is mine "brief summary":

- My character, Erquiel, is born in the Imperial City.

- While traveling through the borders of Skyrim, Count Charus Valga of Chorrol (my father) and a very young (7 years) Erquiel are attacked by Nords pillagers. Count Charus Valga is killed, and I manage to get away further into Skyrim.

- After spend five difficult years trying to survive hunting and stealing, I was found and recruited by the Winters, the greatest mercenaries of Skyrim.

- The Winters received a huge amount of gold from Markarth Jarl to help fight against the rising forces of the cult know as "The Briar Flame", having as leader the Mightiest Briarheart. This huge battle ended with the defeat and decapitation of the cultists' members.

- after 3 years of war, Ragnar is defeated, his head is brought to High King on a plate of silver.

- The Winters gain a lot of authority and power and they are asked by an coalition of Markarth and Whiterun to join the fight for a independent Skyrim. Dark Winter, patriarch and leader of the Winters accepted.

- Erquiel decides to leave the Winters since he disagree with the war of Secession and also because Amelie is pregnant, but he is captured by Imperial forces on the White Pass. General Lucius keeps Amelie and forces Erquiel to fight against the Winters, giving one information as motivation, It was Dark Winter who planned the death of count Charus Valga, since the count was one of the most important figure in the trade between Skyrim and the Empire.

- Erquiel fights in the Imperial Legion against the coaligion of the Winters, Markarth and Whiterun. Whiterun is taken rather easily thanks to the help of Iron and Cold Winter, who now fight with his brother, Erquiel, to bring down Markarth.

- Iron Winter is killed by Dark Winter in the siege of Markarth. Markarth is conquered by Imperial forces and Erquiel swore vengeance against Dark Winter.

- Months later, General Lucius brings personally an message from Emperor Uriel Septim. He was to help an unknown figure to become Nerevarine.

- Erquiel leaves his family putting Ulgar in command of the forces and takes ship with the Dark Elf Dralas Maryon, the future nerevarine.

- Erquiel and Dralas started with disagreements on how to make things done. Erquiel is straightforward tanks to his life as a "nord" (He is Imperial), while Dralas prefer subterfuge. Gradually Erquiel learns subterfuge from Dralas while Dralas himself learns how to fight with axe and shield from Erquiel.

- The main quest of Morrowind plays out and a great friendship is born between Erquiel and Dralas. While Erquiel holds off Dagoth Ur, while the Nerevarine "destroy" the heart of Lorkhan.

After been exposed to all kinds of unworldly powers (Mehrunes Dagon, Umaril, Sheogorath), he now understands how the fabric of the world works.
