** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' takes place during the eponymous Oblivion Crisis. Due to the assassination of Emperor Uriel Septim VII and his legitimate heirs, the metaphysical barrier between [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds Oblivion]] and Mundus (the mortal world) maintained by their lineage is lost, allowing BigBad [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] [[DestroyerDeity Mehrunes]] [[OmnicidalManiac Dagon]] and his LegionsOfHell to invade. The PlayerCharacter must first rescue and then team up with the Emperor's [[HiddenBackupPrince bastard son]] to save the world.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' takes place during the Skyrim CivilWar, a clash between the secessionist Stormcloak rebels and the Imperial Loyalists, which itself is an aftershock of the [[GreatOffscreenWar Great War]] between the [[VestigialEmpire vestigial]] Cyrodiilic Empire and the reformed [[AntiHumanAlliance Aldmeri Dominion]]. The PlayerCharacter can choose a side to support and lead to victory, all against the backdrop of the reappearance of the thought-extinct Dragons.
** ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsAdventuresRedguard'' is an ActionAdventure GaidenGame prequel which takes place some 400 years prior to the main series of games. Following the Redguard Civil War which weakened their kingdom enough to be absorbed by the [[RisingEmpire rising]] Septim Empire, the game is set against the backdrop of the Stros M'Kai Revolt (of which the main character, Cyrus, accidentally becomes the leader).
** ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline'', a prequel [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineGame MMO]] taking place roughly 500 years before the main series, takes place during two related wars: the Alliance War (which pits three alliances made up of former provinces of the Second Empire) and the Planemeld (an attempted invasion of Mundus by the Daedric Prince [[GodOfEvil Molag]] [[TheCorrupter Bal]]).
