Skyrim's central plot concerned the Dragonborn as they faced the World-Eater, Alduin, but it had another concurrent plot that ran parallel to this story. Solving the Civil War crisis in Skyrim is instrumental to completing Skyrim's main plot, a feat that involves understanding the history and politics of Skyrim and Tamriel as a whole. The Elder Scrolls 6 is likely to move its focus to one of Skyrim's neighbors, Hammerfell, and there are indications that it won't be leaving the political threads found in Skyrim behind.
