Elder Scrolls VI, you play as one of the many long lost descendants of Tiber Septim. But you are not the only one. There are several other Septims alive, each one with the potential to become Emperor. In fact, a group of the five most influential Septims have banded together to rout out all other Septims, so that they alone may claim rule. Amongst these five are Eamon Hearthwing, the Trade Prince of High Rock (Breton); Pirate King Aizan (Redguard); Saurginia Highal, Leader of the Thalmor (High Elf); Torben Stormcloak, Harbinger of the Companions (Nord); and Ghormesh the Ash-Skin, Cheiftan of all Strongholds (Orc). Using a powerful Daedric artifact, they hunt down and slaughter all other who bear the blood of Tiber Septim. They have slain hundreds thus far, and now they come after you. All the while, the remaining Empire is in turmoil. Hammerfell, Morrowind, Skyrim, and Black Marsh have all withdrawn support to the Empire in order to combat their own domestic issues. The Aldmeri Dominion has launched their second offensive, and ignite the Second Great War. Your task will be difficult, but you are not alone. The Blades recognize your birth, and have come to serve you in your quest. It is up to you, Septim, to overthrow your five siblings, end the Second Great War, secure the fealty of the nations to you, reunite Tamriel, and become the Emperor of the New Septim Dynasty.
