== Info ==
After a series of subtle adventures alongside his partner Serana, the Dragonborn gets approached by a pair of mysterious mask-wearing cultists who call him the "False Dragonborn" before attacking him. After killing them, he discovers a note that mentions someone by the name of "Miraak" had sent the cultists to kill him, having boarded a ship based out of Windhelm called the "Northern Maiden". For the final miniseries of the trilogy, the Dragonborn will leave Skyrim, and discover whether or not his Thu'um is the strongest of all...

Dragonborn!"

== Trivia ==
* This miniseries premiered on November 11, 2021, Skyrim's 10 year anniversary.
* The voice actor of Storn Crag-Strider had to be swapped from the original voice actor, George Coe, as Coe had passed in 2015 due to a long-term illness.
* Being animated by WB Animation, the art/animation style is very reminiscent to Justice League, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, Justice League vs. Teen Titans, and Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge.
* In the game, Serana doesn't necessarily react to Solstheim, however, in this miniseries, Serana is fully aware of her position in Solstheim.
* This miniseries, while remaining faithful to the Dragonborn DLC questline, focuses a bit more on the drama aspect than the preceding miniseries, as tensions form between the Dragonborn and Serana due to a jealousy issue.
* To keep consistent with the 8-episode agenda of the sequel miniseries, two important Dragonborn DLC side quests ("The Final Descent" and "March of the Dead") were implemented, with their respective episodes being "The Bloodskal Blade" and "The Ash Spawn Threat".
* The character, Aphia Velothi-Caerellius, had her name edited upon in the miniseries, unlike her original name - simply just Aphia Velothi - in the Dragonborn DLC, to signify that she and Crescius are married.
* The cliffhanger ending points at the possibility of a new Skyrim/Elder Scrolls series by Aaron McGruder, but this has not yet been confirmed.
