To obtain the supreme power over Tamriel, the player has to confront three alliances of the mortal races and recover their soul, which has been stolen by Molag Bal.

Players have two main missions: to defeat Prince Molag Bal and decide the fate of the world and two win the vacant imperial throne. Some parts of the continent are available through DLCs.

Players explore most parts (but not all) of the continent of Tamriel during the Second Era - this means that the events are set a millennium before The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and some 800 years before The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
