Instead of the show being about the events of skyrim or oblivion, what if they had the show focus on an elder scrolls legend like the wolf queen or even Talos(Tiber Septim)

These storylines would still draw in people who recognize Skyrim and they are already self contained stories.

The character arc of Potema the wolf queen going from an aspiring leader desiring power, to mourning the loss of her son (future king/emperor) and raising an army of zombies to attack her brother who became the emperor after his army killed potemas son.

It’s a great story that could span 2-3 seasons and has some GOT style death twists for new viewers who don’t know the story.
