The Dominion of Man is burning, falling around the ears of those who remain loyal to the ideal of a united mankind. But who is left to pick up the pieces in the wake of Kerrigan's invasion? Who will step up and lead this new and free Dominion- and more importantly, who will fight to protect it?

The young Dovakiin sits in a carriage, on her way to her execution. But something has changed in the winds of time- and it seems that the god Akatosh has seen fit to bless another mortal with the dragon blood, abandoning she who was meant to be born with it. Without a dragon's soul the woman who should have been Dovakiin will have to fight to survive in the harsh tundra of Skyrim.
