Events of Skyrim
After the Last Dragonborn defeated Alduin and Miraak, He sought to change the tides of the Civil War. As a true Nord, he wanted the Empire to lose, but, when the Empire learned of his dragonborn ancestry and their Emperor was assassinated by the Dark Brotherhood, they begged of him to become their new Emperor. His Blood had ruled Tamriel in its finest hours.

He accepted but on several conditions. The White Gold Concordat was broken, which as expected sparked a war between the Empire and the Thalmor/Aldmeri Dominion. The Dragonborn however was not surprised and waged war on the Thalmor, pushing them to nigh-extinction. The islands of Summerset were annexed by the Empire and Skyrim once again rejoined the Union.

Post Skyrim
After many peaceful years under the New Dragonborn Empire, an heir was soon to be needed. Surprisingly, the Queen of Hammerfel was widowed and had begun to fancy the Last Dragonborn. This led to their marriage and the reunification between Hammerfel and the Empire. After quite a few years later, The Last Dragonborn and the Queen of Hammerfel died together of old age, and their Son took the throne.

Raised to be exactly just as his Father and as compassionate as his mother, Tamriel continued to see peace until the eruption of Red Mountain. As stated in the RP intro, most of any survivors fled to places like Cyrodiil, Skyrim, and Argonia. The Emperor did as much as he could to help with this transition. He sent many crews into Skyrim to help build shelters and homes for the refugees, buying the land to do so from any farmers who seemed reluctant.

After nearly two centuries of not exactly the best treatment by society, The Dunmer began to cry for their right to return home, as Morrowind has been closed off by order of the Empire. Finally, the Emperor devised a plan to see if it was safe for them to return with out it being said he was biased.

He had scouts seek out talented individuals who were not directly involved in the Empire whatsoever. These individuals are the lovely characters you the RPer will create....

I hope this helps give some proper background and makes immersion easier.
