The Rise of Winterhold (alternatively, the Fall of Winterhold)
This quest would be for primarily magic-oriented characters.
Requirements for Quest: Become Arch--Mage of the College of Winterhold, as well as Thane of Winterhold.
Differing quest options depend on how or if you finished the Clavicus Vile questline, A Daedra's Best Friend.
"I knew you'd come eventually. It would seem I'm bound to this place. The bitter irony of it all -- my greatest failure, and even in death I can't escape it. I never meant for any of what happened here. Tried to seal it up, lock it away forever. But now it all comes out again..."
The College of Winterhold has taken some heavy losses. Savos Aren was privy to many secrets beyond merely Labyrinthian, now gone forever with his passing at the hands of Ancano the Thalmor agent...
...or are they?
This quest would be a history lesson in part -- the power of the Eye of Magnus would interact with the Thu'um to send the Last Dragonborn back to the Great Collapse. The player would begin by simply trying to survive it, and save others from its devastation should one be so inclined. This will be the first of many decisions that would determine the nature of this quest.
During his trip back, the Dovahkiin would learn that, while Red Mountain's eruption did indeed have far-reaching consequences as Aren suggests, it was helped along by the College of the time -- not out of malice, but out of the usual mistake mages in Tamriel make of overreaching themselves. And of course, because this was an ill-advised and poorly-thought-out grab for power, one can almost smell the Daedric Princes' involvement...this time, it's the prince of twisted wishes himself, Clavicus Vile.
If the player made a certain choice during A Daedra's Best Friend, you would speak to him through his proxy, the loyal and good-natured hound Barbas. If the player chose differently, or has not completed that quest yet, you would speak with the Prince directly throughout. Clavicus and Barbas offer very different takes on the story with VERY different outcomes to following what each of them says.
Eventually, you would make your way to the abandoned Arcane University, sealed off from the rest of the Imperial City after the collapse of the Cyrodiil Mages Guild. Here the player would have the option of starting a quest that would bring you face-to-face with the revenant necromancer Mannimarco, onetime high priest of Molag Bal (remodeled here to look more like his Daggerfall incarnation because Mannimarco Revisited is freaking awesome) in a battle of spellcraft for the memory of a Guild long dead, and the future of a College that struggles to flourish in the harshest of conditions. Your dialogue prior to, and after, the battle with him informs later choices that are yours and yours alone to make.
If victorious against Mannimarco, the Dragonborn would relearn the lost art of Spellmaking (there would be new mechanics in place for this based on the skill trees and your ability versus the power of the spell you want to create), and be able to summon his enthralled spirit (or that of his onetime rival, the Arch-Mage Galerion) to fight alongside them in battle.
At the end of the quest, depending on one's choices, the College of Winterhold could have institutions throughout Skyrim as the Mages Guild did in Cyrodiil, with the Jarl's Wizards serving as College heads, but the Arch-Mage Dovahkiin in charge of each and every one. The chapterhouses would basically belong to the Player, for all intents and purposes. You would be able to craft your own spells, rebuild the city of Winterhold (as described briefly by Datadragon Ohdaviing), and repair the deep rift between Skyrim's denizens and the mistrusted magic-users.
Evil Dragomborn could make the College even more hated and feared, by resurrecting not the Mages Guild, but Mannimarco's Order of the Black Worm. The chapterhouses would become cavernous, secret lairs for an order of evil sorcerers, the magical equivalent of the Dark Brotherhood. Spellmaking would still happen, but Winterhold would remain a city in squalor, its Jarl and citizens the helpless prey of the College run by the individual who was once their chosen Thane.
Sounds like that should be a questline, in a DLC or something.
That was the idea. I'd love to continue the Winterhold/College plotline past when you become the Arch-Mage, because it feels really unfinished as-is.
This is my idea of a good quest. It's called 'the fall of the blades' where you destroy the blades with the thalmor, thus avenging Paarthurnax.

You do know this thread is over two years old.

Yes......maybe
My quest(s) would be part of the part of the Dawnguard DLC where you must find a way to cure the Falmer with help from Paladin Gelebor. I know it's not very original and a very short post, but that's my quest. Either this, or a quest to join the Thalmor.
