Dear everybody,

As most of you probably don't know or remember in the slightest, one of the D&D games I participate in is "Not Skyrim," Cyrodiil set in the Skyrim timeline (4E 201). We recently hit an incredibly interesting bubble in our story - literally, a bubble. I missed a session, and being the only elf in the group, our DM decided this was the perfect opportunity to throw in a gigantic plot twist, and none of the other players know about it. It's bloody brilliant.

They set my character to watch over the campsite mid-day while the rest of the party ventured into the tiny village seeking an answer to whatever question had been posed to them. (My character rides a nearly dire wolf, so it tends to scare people. It would make sense to be removed from the party in that situation.) The party was only meant to be gone for an hour or so.

As far as the other players know, they entered the village, found a necromancer who was raising a skeletal army, fought a skeletal dragon, and are about to leave the village. Their entire duration inside the village is roughly three hours.

What actually happened? The village was set in a time bubble, a trap set by some wizard somewhere, perhaps the necromancer or maybe someone else. What matters is that the village blinked out of existence for EIGHT YEARS.

I have eight years of fake history to make up. What I've got so far:

spoiler tag since there are super mild Skyrim spoilers... but not really:
The bad guys win. Evil wizard takes over the throne in the Imperial City through brute force of adamantoise army. Chorrol, Bravil, and half of the Imperial City are completely destroyed. Entire province of Cyrodiil submits to the wizard within two years.

Up in Skyrim, Alduin is struggling against the Dragonborn, and realizes that he is doomed to failure. Alduin reaches out to the wizard, making a pact. Giant turtle army, super wizard power, and Alduin combine, killing the Dragonborn. Skyrim is now a lawless wreck. Everything east of Whiterun falls under command of the wizard. Alduin rules the rest of Skyrim, and skies over the entire province. Many residents who don't submit to the new overlords in the eastern half flee to Morrowind.
That's the stuff that doesn't directly relate to my character and what he's been up to during this eight year period. All of this is within the first two years. I've still got to come up with a series of basic events all the way through 4E 209. Help, you creative Elder Scrolls fans, you!
