Over a hundred years have passed since the events of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and it is now 4E 316.

The land of Hammerfell is a weakened state after having cut ties with the Empire. Increased hostilities between The Crowns and The Forebears, the leading factions of Hammerfell, left them open to invasion by the Thalmor armies starting the Second Great War. In the midst of this chaos the Dwemer, a long lost race, have seemingly returned to Tameriel with monstrous constructs of flesh and steel at their command. Hammerfell must unity if it is to survive these dire threats.

The player starts the game in a dark prison mine. You are befriended by an fellow inmate, Ketch Varkas, who listens to your creation story and gives you the run down on the prison. Ketch tasks you with helping plan a prison riot to mask his escape. During the madness, Ketch escapes but you and other fellow conspirators are captured. You are sentenced to death and taken into the badlands on a sand barge. On the way there a colossal Dwemer construct erupts out of the ground and lays waste the convoy, sending you into a ravine alone. Eventually you aid a lost family in returning home and are given a title of Kadi - Pathfinder.
