1. The Stormcloaks begin a rebellion by murdering the High King.
2. The Thalmor begin causing some unrest in the North of Skyrim.
3. A spy from within the Altmeri Confederation confirm that they are readying for another war. You have one year until the war begins.
4. Red Mountain erupts, and the Dark Elves are calling out for the Empire to help. Will you help them, or expel them from the Empire? Both options have pros and cons. E.g. helping Morrowind keeps another province in the Empire, and more soldiers. However, lots of resources must be used up to aid the Dark Elves.
5. Elswyre and Black Marsh declare war on one and other.
6. Half of the Imperial City (The Market District, The Arena, The Mages Guild, The Imperial Prison) is sunk into Lake Rumare by a massive earthquake.
What will you do? EVERYBODY PANIC!!
