An idea for a possible DLC

Hello. This is an idea I had for a possible DLC for ES5 Skyrim

I'm not sure how many fans have sent in ideas regarding the Miracle of Sound song 'Legends of the Frost' with popular youtube musicians Malukah and Gavin, but that's what my idea is based around.

Anyway, the Idea is, the Dovahkiin could be approached by a scholar that was researching ancient Nordic ruins, and he stumbled upon some lore that suggests there is a ruin with a great treasure magically sealed within. The only way to open the door is by performing a song, handed down through the ages (Legends of the Frost). The Dovahkiin could go to the headmaster of the Bards Collage and track down 4 or maybe 5 specialist bards, a Male and Female Vocalist (possibly voiced by Gavin and Malukah themselves), A lute player, drummer, and possibly a flute player, each specializing in the ancient style bardic arts. And only with all those bards together is the Dovahkiin able to go through the ruins, defeat it's guardians, and possibly an expedition from a rival scholar to take the treasure, to reach the door and have the bards play the song, during the song, spirits of the ancient nords could appear, carrying mugs and drinking to the song, and once the song ends, the spirits open the doors and reveal the treasure within.

I can see that this idea could last a while, many different quests leading to the ultimate goal, perhaps each bard requires the Dovahkiin to perform a task to get them to go to the ruins, perhaps it would take a lot of effort just to find the ruins, as I said before, a Rival scholar could attempt to interfere and steal the bards from the Dovahkiin, many ways to make this DLC take a while, and make it worth the effort to receive the treasures. Plus, it'd make the Bards Collage a little more useful other than the initial skill boost and the master Speech trainer.

I do know that if they work to make this DLC, and get Gavin and Malukah involved, then there will thousands of eager players willing to pay for the DLC in a second. I imagine Bethesda would have to at least talk with Gavin and Malukah anyway to have the production rights, and I can't claim to know either of them, so they may not go for it, but I can say that both Bethesda fans and the fans of Gavin and Malukah would go nuts for this, myself included. There would probably be people that never had any intention to purchase Skyrim to play it just for the song.

Anyhow, that was my idea.

I tried submitting this directly to Bethesda, but for some reason when I hit 'submit' nothing would happen, not even an error message saying why it didn't send. I assume it's because my message was to long, so I trimmed it down to the bare essentials of the message, and still nothing. So please help me bring this to Bethesda's attention if you think this is a good idea.
