The High King’s murder has left Skyrim divided by competing claims to the throne. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim places this conflict within an open fantasy world that players can explore freely, choosing what kind of character to play.
As alliances form, dragons return to Tamriel, threatening both Skyrim and the Empire. The story centers on the prophesied Dragonborn, a hero born with the power of The Voice who can stand against them.
