[edit] Introduction

"Rest well this night, for tomorrow you sail for the Kingdom of Daggerfall". Daggerfall starts out with these words, the Emperor sending you to Daggerfall to investigate King Lysandus's death. Lysandus was a King loyal to the Emperor, as was his wife Mynisera. However, his murder has complicated the troublesome Iliac Bay. A letter from the Emperor has been lost and the ghost of Lysandus haunts the city of Daggerfall. However, your journey is complicated by an item of power that is now known to all the nobility in the Iliac Bay, and now it is a race to see who can get it.

In the Main Quest, you will be forced to make many choices as to who will benefit from your deeds. A word of warning, around the end of the Main Quest, those heroes not well liked by a certain government will have assassins sent after them. Thus, choose your affiliations well. To be brief, the six groups you will be dealing with in the Main Quest is the Nobility of Daggerfall, Wayrest, and Sentinel along with Gortwog of Orsinium, the King of Worms of the Necromancers, and the mysterious Underking. How you treat these leaders will shape the ending of the Main Quest.
