That should still leave you with tons of plot hooks that grow out of the resolution. The areas are much larger geographically than the games can depict. There's plenty of space to fill if you need it. As far as the lore goes - there's a mountain of it, more so than most players will realize unless they dig into the official lore forum and elsewhere; much of the 'surface' detail you see in the games is misleading (sometimes intentionally) or merely a gloss-over that hides the true complexity (which, granted, would probably be overwhelming and confusing in the game itself).

For the fluff, the kind of games they are - It would be a better fit to D&D than Warcraft was (the 3rd party adaptation), honestly. Closer in crunch and all, kind of fantasy, etc...  Some peoples adapted the races in Races and Monsters.

A good time to set the adventure would be right after the events of Oblivion.  There is a 200 year gap between it and Skyrim.  I imagine there is enough lore out there to give you tons of ideas for a campaign.
