Okay everyone, this is a fan-fic idea I had. I will be writing this fan-fic in as the King of High Rock. This is going to be about Kings, diplomacy, Drama between kingdoms, and war. I'd also like to make it clear now that Rise to Fame shall still continue.

Backstory:
The time is the start of the 5th Era. And rightfully so, as the world has changed much in the past 200 years since the Dragonborn of Skyrim defeated Alduin by sacrificing his life in a final battle in Sovngarde. All of Tamriel fell into turmoil shortly thereafter.
Stormcloak Skyrim - Ulfric Stormcloak and his Rebels overthrew the Imperial Empire and Ulfric became the High King. Everyone assumed Skyrim would deteriorate after his reign but Ulfric managed to balance out relations with the world and make sure peace stayed in Skyrim while it re-built after the war. Ulfric's descendants continue to rule Skyrim to this day, the current leader being High King Ulfric V.
Orsinium - Orsinium fought a bloody revolutionary war against the Imperial Empire. Orsinium's determination and strength won in the end, but their population was greatly reduced. They are now a small country but protect themselves with many forts and great weapons. Their country has been all but turned into a fortress. The current King/Warlord is Balkhorz Gro-Uguk.
Elsewyr - The Aldmeri Dominion used to have total control over Elsewyr. However, more and more Khajiit realized that the Thalmor were incapable of bringing back the moons. Revolutionists managed to overthrow the Thalmor and had enough support from the rest of Tamriel as to prevent the Thalmor regime of the time from invading. Little is known about their King or how their country has managed.
Valenwood - The native Bosmer began uniting their clans so as to rid their homeland of the Thalmor and their cruelty. The Bosmer Revolutionaries had an easy time of overthrowing the Thalmor as the Thalmor considered Valenwood of low-strategic value. The man who unified the clans, Arith the Prosperous, soon organized Valenwood into a single army and culture. He is still in power as a vampire which he convinced his people was the ultimate life-determination of maintaining the Green Pact.
Morrowind - The country had been ravaged by war and volcanic devastation for many years, even being enslaved by the Argonians of Black Marsh. However, a local Dunmer named Savile the Great (then just known as Savile) led a rebellion against the Argonians and managed to unite Morrowind once more. He dissolved the Great Houses and established himself as ruler. His descendants are still in power to this day though he never had a son so power fell to his brother. King Salvadius is their current ruler.
High Rock - Encouraged by the Stormcloak Rebellion, the noble families of High Rock joined together in a meeting, now called the Great Assembly, where it was by majority vote that they decided the Imperial Empire did not benefit the people of High Rock. They sent a letter to Cyrodiil where Cyrodiil granted High Rock their freedom. The noble families meet at the death of every King and decide on a new leader.
Cyrodiil - The Imperial Empire fell into a state of collapse after being defeated by Ulfric Stormcloak in Skyrim. It was surrounded by enemies on all sides. A Civil War was fought between the remaining Generals of the Imperial Legion. General Valus Vesilius was the winner and he organized Cyrodiil into a military power after many further years of turmoil. King Vesilius VI is the current ruler.
Summerset Isles - The Aldmeri Dominion fell apart as the Thalmor began to be recognized as weak. The Thalmor have spent many years brainwashing the population of the isles into believing in their cause. They seek to once again threaten the world as they did in the Great War. Nobody outside of the Thalmor know who their leader is.
Hammerfell - Hammerfell has remained mainly the same since they kicked the Aldmeri Dominion out of their country. They have, over the years, petitioned the government of High Rock trying to combine their countries. High Rock has always refused, enjoying their freedom, but tensions between High Rock and Hammerfell are extremely high.
Argonia AKA Black Marsh - The Argonians were embarrassed when the Dunmer freed themselves from their rule. This resulted in turmoil amongst their government and they fell into many years of Civil War. After a Civil War which lasted 50 years, General Kills-his-Foes took over Argonia and crowned himself King. His grandson currently leads the land of Argonia, King Conquers-Many-Foes.
