Battlespire: An Elder Scrolls Legend is set during the time of Arena, when Jagar Tharn has imprisoned Uriel Septim and taken over the Empire. Through treachery, Jagar has helped several daedra lords invade and conquer the Battlespire, a training ground used by the imperial battlemages who serve the imprisoned Emperor.

Anchored in Oblivion, the Battlespire also guards magicka wellsprings. Seeking to reclaim the magicka flows and oust the intruding mortals, the daedra lords have slaughtered almost every man and mer in the Battlespire. And so enters your character, the hero who recovers the Battlespire (according to the intro movie) and destroys it (according the outro movie).

Through the course of the game, the hero will have escaped the Battlespire, ventured through six different daedric realms within Oblivion, learned something of the politics of Oblivion (everybody loves a good backstabbing), and finally reached the lava-filled realm of Mehrunes Dagon that returned in TES IV: Oblivion.
