What is the plot in Skyrim?
The plot of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim centers around the player's character, the Dragonborn, who is a mortal with the soul of a dragon. The game takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim, which is located in the northernmost part of the continent of Tamriel. The province is in the midst of a civil war between the Imperial Legion and the Stormcloaks, a group of rebels who wish to secede from the Empire.
The main quest of the game begins when the player's character is captured by the Imperial Legion and is set to be executed for being a Stormcloak supporter. However, the execution is interrupted when a dragon attacks the town, revealing that the dragons have returned to Tamriel after being extinct for centuries.

Along the way, the player will encounter various other dragons and ancient artifacts related to the dragons, which will help them defeat Alduin.
