There's a civil war in Skyrim, dragons have reappeared, and evidently Alduin is going to rise up and consume the world. The player is one of the last Dragonborn: a decedent of sacred bloodlines whose purpose is to protect the world from threats such as this, and who has the ability, amongst other things, to tap into the same power as dragons through Thu'um: the Way of the Voice. The Dragonborn will be guided by one of the last of the Blades, and presumably save the world.
That's about the extent of what we know about the story.
