Lore & Background
The political backdrop of Skyrim as a province within the larger Empire that recently fought a war with the elvish Aldmeri Dominion. This conflict, known as the Great War, ended in a military stalemate after a hard-fought battle at the imperial capital. The Empire was forced to sign the White-Gold Concordat, a humiliating peace treaty that led to the Dominion annexing Valenwood and attempted to cede parts of Hammerfell.
In Their Own Story
It mentions that the game is set 201 years after The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in Skyrim, a cold and mountainous region divided into nine administrative sections called 'holds.' While the text notes the presence of Dark Elf refugees from Morrowind and Reachmen occupying the Reach, it does not contain narrative moments involving Imperial Legion soldiers, specific battles they fought, or dialogues attributed to their commanders. The only conflict mentioned is the general tension regarding the White-Gold Concordat.
Reader's Guide
The source details gameplay mechanics such as character creation, skill leveling across combat, magic, and stealth schools, and the ability to dual-wield weapons. It describes how players can engage in combat with NPCs, commit crimes leading to bounties, and interact with guards who may be pacified or silenced. However, there is no guide information regarding joining the Imperial Legion, their specific quest paths, recruitment locations, or tactics. The text confirms that killing certain individuals can make quests unobtainable but does not specify which faction quests are tied to the Legion.
