Hey,
Update 10/10/'07: Totally revamped storyline:
The Arch-Mage of the Morrowind Mages Guild is Amilia Noctis, she is a Cerro Vampire who was ordered by the clanleader to infiltrate the Mages Guild. When she had actually done that, she decided she like the MG more than Cerro and betrayed her bloodline by cutting all ties to her former family.
For years, this action didn't have (much) consequences, Amilia gained respect in the Guild and the few who knew she was a vampire supported her election as Arch-Mage in the Council.
Years later ('now'), the Mages Guild is suffering under disappearances, operatives coming back weeks after they've been reported missing. Amilia suspects her former Master, but dares not take any rash action before it is proven.
In the quest "After death, A new Beginning", you as the player meet Nibarr Faren who has been charged, by Amilia, with finding evidence of Cerro involvement and dealing with it appropriately. Which happens after the player takes care of one of the 'Cerro squads'.
In the quest "No Sunshine for You" the player goes on another mission from Nibarr, this time meeting with an Cerro who obeys Amilia and has information about the Cerro plans with the Mages Guild. However, it appears that the Cerro have figured out who ordered the attack on their missing 'squad', Nibarr Faren, and have turned him. You find the evidence Amilia has been searching for and you deliver it to one of the Master Wizards from the Mages Guild.
During this, you'll have to kill Nibarr Faren. At this stage you know nothing of the alignment of Amilia Noctis, and you've only heard evidence of her being a vampire. In the quest "Blood keeps me Dead" you will be ordered to meet with Amilia Noctis at an isolated spot. She will explain the story to you, how the Cerro clan-leader is after her and the Mages Guild.
Amilia tells you that she has confirmed reports of infiltration of the Mages Guild by the Cerro. She knows that Vanco Valean, the Steadhelm Compound leader, is one of them and that it's likely a few more Mages in Steadhelm compound are working for the Cerro. She askes you to take care of this for her, in return, she will promote you to one of the elite Mages, Master Wizard. Meaning you'll also be the compound leader of Steadhelm.
When you ask around in the Steadhelm compound, you'll find out that Valean's behaviour has changed lately, and that he's been hanging out with a select group of two other highranking Steadhelm Mages. When you confront them, they try to kill you and you defend yourself, killing all three.
When you get back to the rendezvous-point you'll meet Athasor Alayn, a Dunmer male who promotes you, and who you'll meet next mainquest.
After the "Council Matters" quest you get the order to go back to Athasor Alayn ASAP. When you get there he is attacked by two vampires, but he and his bodyguards take care of them. Athasor tells you the Cerro have now declared war, and every compound is under attack. He asks you to go to the Silgrad City Compound and defend it against Cerro attack.
When you get to the Silgrad City Compound it's totally devastated, inside the bodies of the apprentices and wizards litter the floor. In the building there are three Cerro vampires, one of them a 'boss'. On the body of the boss there's a letter in which his leader commands the guy to trash the Silgrad City compound and then get to the Mages Curia to attack.
When you report back to Athasor he promotes you to Eldritch and asks you to report to Amilia in the Mages Curia.
Amilia is in the Council Chamber with the complete Council and a few guards. When you speak to her and give her the letter, the doors swing open and the Cerro leader (Bob, what's his/her name?) comes walking in.
We get a huge big evil showdown dialogue between Amilia and her former master and it results in a big fight between the Council, Amilia, you and the Cerro in the room.
When you kill the Cerro with the help of the rest of the Council, Amilia'll talk to you and promote you to Master Eldritch.
THE END (Sorry, too cliché?)

Old storyline:
Quote:Hey,
Since I noticed the Mages Guild doesn't have an official questside I've been thinking about the story that the Mages Guild Mainquest should tell, here's the result:
Ambilia Noctis is the female Dunmer running the Mages Guild (her name comes from Ambulo (walk) and nox noctis (night)). She is not a common appearance, not many to none have ever had the pleasure of seeing her. She, however, runs a tight ship: the Mages Guild has not run this disciplined in years.
There are rumours though; Mages Guild members are disapearing. Many of them disappear in the line of duty, never to be seen or heard from again. As a novice, you will find that some of your friends disappear.
After investigations, a quest to a vampire-infected cave and the uncovery of a vampire agent in the Mages Guild you will be confronted by Noctis herself.
Noctis is an attrictive vampire of the Aundae clan, meaning she is a powerful intelligent witch. She tells you that, contrary to what you might've come to believe, she is not the one killing Associates. Her clan, Aundae, has come after her because she left the clan in quite a rush after she killed Dhaunayne Aundae's favorite child.
At that moment you'll be somewhere in the middle of the Mainquest, Noctis will openly declare war on the Aundae clan without revealing her identity to the guild. In nighttime guildhalls will be attacked, more members will disappear (and return in the vorm of vamp's), you will be recruited in a witch hunt to uncover more vampire agents, you will witness the massacre of the Morrowind Mages Council when Dhaunayne Aundae in person comes to claim his blood child.
In the Council Chamber, half the Council slaughtered, three vampires, two men one woman, walk into the room. Cutscene, the vamps stop Dhaunayne Aundae and suddenly Noctis puts a spell on Dhaunayne, you and herself.
You are transported to a big room. In front of you is Dhaunayne, behind you is miss Noctis. You fight Dhaunayne, you kill Dhaunayne. Noctis offers you her position as Archmage because she endangered the Guild by not surrendering to Dhaunayne.
