Intro
(Intro theme)

(Voice of Neil Dickson/Lord Harkon)

"Long ago, I was once one of the most powerful and influential rulers in Skyrim, alongside my wife, Valerica, and my daughter, Serana. However, there was but one thing that I had feared: my own mortality. On a fateful night, I had pledged myself to the Daedric Lord of Domination, Molag Bal, sacrificing thousands, and even offering my wife and daughter to the demon. In return, my family and I were granted the gift of Molag Bal's blood itself. While I had gained everything I desired, there was but one thing that prevented my total domination of Tamriel: The sun. In desperate research, I had uncovered a prophecy leading to the fate of the sun. Before I could fully uncover its meaning, my traitorous wife ran off with the Elder Scrolls intertwined with the prophecy, as well as my daughter Serana. However, there is a sensation emanating within my ancient blood, that the time is near... to forever put an end to the Tyranny of the Sun!"

Rating
Skyrim: Tyranny of the Sun is rated TV-MA for:
 * Language
 * Use of mediocre profanity, primarily including the words "damn" and "bitch".
 * Use of Alcohol
 * Consumption of alcoholic beverages. Name says it all.
 * Sexual themes
 * Backstory talk on when Serana and Valerica were "offered" to the Daedric Lord Molag Bal, which is how they became "Daughters of Coldharbour".
 * Strong Violence
 * An excessive amount of blood, and a bit of gore.

Trivia

 * Tyranny of the Sun premiered on June 22, 2020, exactly 8 years after the release of the Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim in the United States and the United Kingdom, and ended on June 22, 2021, exactly 9 years after its release.
 * 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.
 * Unlike Legend of Dovahkiin, Tyranny of the Sun isn't completely accurate to the events of Dawnguard. For example, some scenes are edited upon for action purposes (such as Durnehviir instantly giving the Dragonborn all three Words of Power for the Soul Tear shout, and viciously fighting against Naaslaarum), some for lore explanation purposes, and some for the romantic buildup purposes between the Dragonborn and Serana, eventually leading to the kiss between the two in the final scene.
 * However, unlike Legend of Dovahkiin, Tyranny of the Sun doesn't leave out any lore-important quests, like how Legend of Dovahkiin left out the quest "Diplomatic Immunity".
 * Florentius Baenius also wasn't included in the "old friend" search in the main game, though Aaron McGruder wanted to feature him in the miniseries without having to do a full episode based around him. In the main game, the Dragonborn goes and finds Florentius in his own side quest called "Bolstering the Ranks".
 * Voslaarum is given a color scheme change in Tyranny of the Sun in order to distinguish himself from Naaslaarum. However, in the Vanilla game, he and Naaslaarum share the same Revered Dragon design.
 * Reese C. Hartwig had to be replaced as the voice actor of Clinton due to the actor now being too old to voice a young child.
