Setting: Skyrim, one year before the arrival of the dragons.

The story starts in the cave of Southfringe Sanctum, the (initial) players were part of an ill fated expedition, led on behalf of a necromancer posing as a noble. They were told that there were treasures and gold of amazing amounts in the cave, and the players are a diverse collection of mercenaries, priests, commoners, hunters, adventurers, young nobles, and all sorts of professions, and ideologies. In the cave they were ambushed by a cabal of necromancers, who used the undead to capture the caravan, and submit most of them to their perverted experiments. The survivors are the beginning players.

Several days into their captivity, the players are all bound and gagged in a corner of the cave.
When the necromancers are about to pick out the players for death, the unthinkable happens.

A figure in white ebony armor storms the cave, and with his skills, slays all of the necromancers and defeats all of the undead.

He frees all of the players and gives all the dead bodies proper funeral rites.

He tells them all that he is Sir Aranor, the last knight of the circle, and Hand of Arkay.
He explains that Arkay gave him a vision leading him to the place, and that the players are meant to aid him on a quest that god Arkay gave him, one that could change the fate of Tamriel. All the players accept, whether out of gratitude, to do good in the world, to make a name for themselves, to make a profit, or to gain power... The RP itself will start in the city of Falkreath, where Aranor will actually tell them what they are going to do.

I was just thinking of a rp for the 4th era, to just explore it a little more, maybe even show the tension of Skyrim before the stormcloak rebellion. It won't be a terribly large or deep roleplay, it will follow more of a clear-cut storyline, but if a roleplayer . Since this is the elder scrolls forum I would think that you guys would like a elder scrolls rp (or not, maybe im crazy)
