Legend has it something resides in the heart of the Everfree Forest, something dark and twisted. They say it's been there for thousands of years, living in peace and serenity. What could possibly happen when such an evil creature is disturbed?

The Champion of Cyrodiil, once a great a glorious person, known everywhere, is now reduced to but a petty wanderer. He has no purpose anymore, seeing as how the threats are gone, so he travels from city to city, trying to make a new name for himself. He eventually finds peace, and settles in the pleasant city of Skingrad, until something odd happens, something involving colorful, talking, horses.
