   Summary

   He was not chosen by the Gods, he is just who remains. The Last Dragonborn is dead and no one is left to stop Alduin and his consumption of the world. Landfall is here. The dreamer is finally becoming awake. It is up to Arvel the Swift, the down on his luck thief of Bleak Falls Barrow, to somehow find a way to save the world. He and his friends must defeat Alduin without destiny on their side. Normal people must do the work of demigods and the divines. The task is supposed to be impossible, but the truth isn't always easy to see.

   This story includes original characters and existing cannon characters from Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind. It is a complete retcon of the story to defeat Alduin. Skyrim is fundamentally changed without the presence of the prophesied hero.
