Out of the gates come the Daedra, demonic warriors hellbent on bloodshed. There is no one to take the throne and the once mighty Empire has fallen into chaos. As fear grips the land and Oblivion spreads could this be the end of the world as we know it?
You are a prisoner, held in the dungeons of the Imperial City for an unknown crime. The gods must be smiling on you however, because this chance imprisonment thrusts you into the middle of the chaotic events surrounding Cyrodil. Take up your sword and find the emperors heir, then bring the fight to the mysterious cultists behind all the chaos. The world's fate rests in your hands, prisoner. It is up to you to save it and drive the forces of Oblivion back through the gates of hell.
