In the province of cyrodiil there is a grave threat that is taking over the land.
Mehrunes Dagon is the Daedric Prince of Destruction, Change, Revolution, Energy, and Ambition. He is associated with natural dangers like fire, earthquakes, and floods. In some cultures, though, Dagon is merely a god of bloodshed and betrayal.
In Oblivion, the plot centers around Dagon's plot to destroy the Septim bloodline, and open the gates to Oblivion throughout Cyrodiil, to launch a new invasion. The septims are the rulers of Cyrodiil and the desendents must wear the amulet of kings to prevent dagon's destruction. The Cult of the Mythic Dawn are diehard Dagon worshippers and work to bring the coming of Dagon in Oblivion. The cult focuses on the eternal dawn on which Dagon shall come to cleanse the world of all non-followers.
Martin (the last of the septim bloodline) needs to get to the Temple of the One so that he can light the Dragonfires and close the Oblivion Gates. Oblivion gates are gates to another dimension where dagon rules, every gate has its own different plane (land) and oblivion monsters may be able to enter our world via. gate). Before martin can light the dragonfire he must first get permission from Ocato or it won't work. Ocato greets him amiably and is about to officially accept him as Emperor when a messenger rushes in reporting Oblivion Gates opening inside the imperial city's walls!
I have to Lead Martin, Ocato and a team of Guardsmen out of the palace where i will be met by several Daedra (oblivion monsters) who immediately attack. I have to Kill them all before I can proceed. Then I have to Take the troops through the door to the Temple District. Two Oblivion Gates spew forth a multitude of Daedra. It is not possible to kill them all. Instead of going to my left to help Martin I went to my right where some Legionnaires are fighting futilely against some Daedra and...Mehrunes Dagon himself!
Soon after Martin rushed to my side and point out the obvious. Realizing it's too late to light the Dragonfires, he comes up with a possible backup plan. We Run to the temple with Martin, and watch the show as Martin turns into an avatar of Akatosh and battles Lord Dagon. When Mehrunes Dagon is banished, the dragon turns to stone.
The province of Cyrodiil was a peaceful place with all the major cities being ruled over by the Septim blood. Everything was fine and dandy until Mehrunes Dagon and his cult decided that this was the time for reckoning, and killed emperor Uriel Septim. But why did Dagon do this? Was it up to him to choose to become good or evil when he was born, or, created? Did he even have a choice to become what he had become? But whatever it was, he was destined to be the biggest threat to Cyrodiil. I played a big role in this war. In the start of the game: If it wasn't for the emperor coincidently coming into the same prison cell as me (because there was a secret passage in that specific cell) and allowing me to follow him and from then on how the story unfolds. Mehrunes Dagon would have taken over Cyrodiil the next day. Everything happens for a reason, and we have learnt evil will never triumph.
There are many values of War, but I believe that the following are the ones that is or/and has happened to most of the soldiers that have gone to war. These include; Bravery; Without bravery no man would dare to think about anything relating to the registration of going of to war. In the past, men who didn't want to go to war because of being scared, but were forced to go would've come back braver
