Final clarification questions so that I can make sure all my character concepts are effectively tied to the BBEG and the plot of the story we'll be telling as a team:

1) Hafvyg is definitely the Dragonborn, correct?
2) Is the Volkihar vampire clan a powerful force in Skyrim or have they been driven to extinction (How did this Dragonborn's Dawnguard campaign end)?
3) Paarthurnax. How pissed/deceased is he knowing that the Dragonborn couldn't control his conqueror's urges?
4) Is Ulfric alive?
5) Is Miraak alive?
6) How many dragons have evaded being conquered and enslaved by the Dragonborn? How many still follow Paarthurnax's Way Of The Voice? How many Greybeards were killed/has a new generation of Greybeards taken their place? Or are the same ones alive still because hella dragon vocal talents?
7) How do things look in the court of the King Of The Thalmor? Are they still the primary political power of the High Elves?
8) What is the fighters guild's stance on the Emperor?
9) What is the mages guild's stance on the Emperor?
10) Are the Daedra staying out of events and just betting right now? Or are they starting to interfere at the realization that the Dragonborn is in Herma Mora's pocket (assuming that 4 states Miraak is dead and the Dragonborn is Herma Mora's new servant)?

1) Havfyg is the dragonborn!
[/hider]
[hider=2]
2) Havfyg brought the Dawnguard down upon Lord Harkon. After his death, many of the vampires beneath him disappeared into the Sea of Ghosts.

3) Paarthurnax is alive and furious. He agreed to, in exchange for all the Greybeards not being slaughtered, convince the Greybeards to train others in Thu'um in exchange for their lives/culture not being completely assimilated. He's trying very, very hard to keep his tranquility, even as Thu'um is used to slaughter innocents as well as warriors. Most of the free dragons are his followers (around 40) though they're usually hiding if not under Imperial thumb.

4) Ulfric the One Armed King is the King of Skyrim and is kept under a tight leash by Havfyg. His role was temporarily usurped during the period Havfyg was uniting Skyrim to march on Cyrodil. He was defeated by Havfyg in single combat when Havfyg shouted his left arm off and imprisoned during that time.

5) Miraak is dead. Hermaeus Mora gave Havfyg the same, "position" lets say, but Havfyg has largely ignored it and any duties it entails for his own ambition. Basically, it was the ending where you told Hermaeus Mora to buzz off, essentially, and he said "your intent is immaterial."

6) The official number of dragons following Havfyg is 27 (9, 9, 9), a sign of Havfygs supposed divine nature. The actual number is 33. There is not an exact count of free dragons, but the number is somewhere around 40 alive, spread throughout Tamriel.  Most of the greybeards still follow Paarthurnax's Way of the Voice, though some are sent down on occasion to teach Thu'um to his armies throughout Tamriel and especially in the Mages College near Cyrodil. One greybeard, Wulfgar, attempted resistance but Havfyg managed to beat him into unconsciousness using his bare hands. It took months for his bones to recover. Besides this, there are fifty official new Greybeards, who are obviously far younger than those currently living. Some jokingly call them "Brownbeards".

7) The King of the Thalmor was deposed by several of his lords who stabbed him to death in his own Throne Room and assumed the throne. The new King Highorins first order of business was to send a letter to Emperor Havfyg I to inform him of his ascension, the dissolution of the Thalmor command structure, and to beg for an end to the bloodshed. Havfyg refused. While the Aldmeri Dominion itself is actually quite different from how it was ran previously, to most people it would seem to be the same entity.

[hider=8]
8) The Fighters Guilds official stance is he is Talos Reborn, The Warrior Emperor that will free men from the tyranny of Altmer oppression, and they are his loyal servants and will fight the Altmer to their dying breath. Unofficially, they do not appreciate their strongest fighters being drafted nearly every month and find his methods of justice, cruel at best and insane at worst.
[/hider]

9) The Mage's Guild actually quite likes Havfyg. He's provided Greybeards to help with learning how Thu'ums work, he's given them large sums of money to continue their research, and free education for Breton has resulted in very talented individuals who have advanced magic far faster than had been possible previously.[/hider]
[hider=10]10)Hermaeus Mora has given Havfyg a black book recently, without being asked. A few of the Daedra are getting involved in response to this and for various other reasons. Hircine believes there will be a "great hunt" in the future (one of the players is a follower of Hircine at the moment). Mehrunes Dagons followers have been randomly joining battles on both the side of the Aldmeri Dominion and The Empire, to the confusion of both.
