The Great War was a conflict between the Empire of Cyrodiil and the Aldmeri Dominion for influence across Tamriel. The Skyrim Civil War is largely a consequence of the Great War which took place prior to the events of the game. Shortly after the beginning of the game, the player has the option of choosing either side, joining the Imperial Legion leading to crushing the Stormcloak rebellion and solidifying Skyrim as a subordinate province in the Empire. The Imperial Legion is looking to keep Skyrim within the fold of the Empire of Cyrodiil, while the rebellious Stormcloaks are seeking national autonomy and liberation from laws restricting religious worship. All dialogue has been edited to reflect this, and you'll find Surgus' dialogue and appearance to be less immersion-breaking than before.In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, players find themselves in the midst of a civil war for the eponymous province. If you've played the original version, all you need to know is that in this version, your court is located in Solitude instead of Highreach. This mod is my attempt at integrating (most of) the features of u/solarhamster / aysigago's "Become High King of Skyrim" mod into the existing world of Skyrim, without using the new worldspace. As High King, you are able to drastically change the lives of any NPC through new dialogue.


This mod adds a quest to let the player become High King of Skyrim. They have sent their best spymaster to Skyrim to find the Dragonborn, and guide them towards restoring the Empire, one province at a time. Among those who see this Last Dragonborn as the saviour of the Empire, are several members of the Elder Council. A possible return to its glory days, when the Dragonborn emperors still ruled. In the middle of all this, a new Dragonborn has appeared, and has begun to make waves.

Dragons have returned, the Thalmor are spreading their influence, and Skyrim, one of the few provinces still part of the Empire, is ravaged by civil war after the death of its High King. "So long as the Blood of the Dragon runs strong in her rulers, the glory of the Empire shall extend in unbroken years." - from the liturgy of the Re-Kindling of the Dragonfires
