Well... Before the RP even started the Khajiit kicked out the Thalmor There is now an uprising in Valenwood, backed by an Imperial Legion because, as it turns out, the cosmopolitan Empire isn't too fond of the Elven Nazi party who tried to destroy their nation and enslave them. (And so far, the Thalmor are losing pretty badly) The Redguards made a treaty which meant the Thalmor halted their failed invasion of Hammerfell The Nords have unoutlawed Talos Worship and are now independent from the Empire. The new Emperor has pretty much spat on the concordat, believing its terms undermine the values of the Empire, and turns a blind eye to Talos worship and the likes. I've got some of your ships after seizing a major port in Valenwood with the wood elves as part of the Bosmer insurrection I'm holding a summit in the north to try and gain support to come south and batter you with more ships and troops and invade Alinor its self Elsweyr is basically fighting its self, with the Empire providing limited support, after the mane was assassinated (You pretty much got the blame despite having nothing to do with it, because no one suspects the real killers, so no matter which side wins the civil war there's going to be angry cats out for you) The Akaviri are, unbeknownst to us, planning an invasion. High Rock is, as ever, in a shouting match with its self as the Emperor face palms while trying to get them to work together for once All in all, not a good situation to start in, I'm afraid xD And that's just the things involving the Thalmor I can recall off the top of my head
