A high ranking noble nord is drunk one night, as he stumbles out of candlehearth hall he sees a dunmer reading what looks to be a map. The nord attacks the dunmer out of pure hatred of the race and ends up killing him. This sparks a war amongst the dumner and the nords within windhelm. The dunmer happened to be a royal (or person of power) from morrowind sent to examine the treatment of dunmer within the grey quarters. When the folk back in morrowind learn of this murder, they send forces into Skyrim.
You can pick a side, or try to stay neutral and resolve the issue using your influence in Skyrim. That option is only available if the main questline is finished or you have completed the civil war quest line.
As you can see, i havent thought about this idea too much but i feel it is a much more acheiveable goal than my underground land idea i had earlier, with my limit experience with the creation kit.
any thoughts? ideas? suggestions?
