The village of Moonmarch is under attack from an Oblivion Gate that's opened in their town center. Creatures keep pouring out and there's some kind of barrier around it that prevents anybody from counterattacking.
Clearly, somebody in the village is keeping it open, but who? The player has to interrogate the villagers and find the traitor, whilst fending off a constant stream of Daedra. It's no easy task, because everyone seems to have a motive! The townsfolk are bitterly divided into factions, any one of which has good reason to want revenge on the others. The gate automatically closes when you find the traitor and kill them in the Dagon shrine in their basement (this saves us having to make a boring interior for it).
(NB. If the player has already finished the vanilla MQ and shut all the gates, then the quest continues to find out who did it, even though it's closed).
