-->-- '''Miraak'''
Years ago, Jon Snow uncovered the truth of his birth and fled his life, finding himself at the centre of a civil war and the resurrection of dragons in a far-away land. Jon Whitewolf, the Last Dragonborn and Great Thane of Skyrim, returns at his sister's behest for his brother's nameday celebrations, but soon finds leaving - and keeping his secrets - will not be so simple as he planned.
