There had been preachers and portents, promising the most outrageous things and calling on ancestors which were not theirs. The city watch called their names and cut them down by their numbers, but their premonitions would not end.
The governor, "Reclusiarch" as his subjects had learned to call him, hid himself from the problems behind walls and wine, as he so often did, so nothing was done and nobody was called.
The details of place, race, etc, can be fudged a bit with this one. Fighter's Guild, Bretons, ruined Velothi tomb in Aanthirin??
The player meets the quest NPC outside of a dungeon. The NPC is an adventurer who woefully relates to the player that he was delving through the dungeon with a friend when they came upon a swarm of <insert monster type here>. His friend and he were separated in the fray, and now he wants the player's help in finding his friend before it's too late and she is killed.

The mage involved is researching a set of books that create a rip in the time-space reality when brought together. He wants them to see if he can create his own pocket dimension. The player is asked to help find the books, which are scattered around in various dungeons and bookstores (just pick any that already exist).
After retrieving the books, the mage does his experiment; the books and he disappear into an interdimensional rift. Daedra, random objects and animals begin filling up the house as reality starts to collapse.
