In 4E 171, the Great War broke out when Emperor Titus Mede II refused to cede large tracts of land including southern Hammerfell to the Aldmeri Dominion. In 3E 417, The Warp in the West occurred. The aftermath of the war left tension between the Redguards and Bretons of the Iliac Bay area. The War of Betony, a land dispute over the island of Betony between the Bretons of Daggerfall and the Redguards of Sentinel, saw the death of the King of Sentinel, Camaron in 3E 403. Redguards of eastern Hammerfell held a grudge against the Nords of Skyrim and continued to try to regain land lost during the War of Bend'r-Mahk throughout the end of the Third Era, but to no avail. The reign of the Camoran Usurper ended in 3E 267 after his defeat. Later, because of this, Forebear cities would not aid Crown cities that were overrun by Nords during the War of Bend'r-Mahk around the time of 3E 397. In 3E 253, the Redguard cities Rihad and Taneth sent a call for help to Elinhir to the north that went unanswered because of the tension that still existed between the Crowns and the Forebears. After gaining control over Valenwood, the Camoran Usurper marched northward seizing control of any land he could conquer. In 3E 249, a pretender to the Camoran throne, called the Camoran Usurper, freed Valenwood of Septim Empire control. Redguard society remained split for a vast amount of time, with the northern parts of Hammerfell keeping with Yokudan traditions, dress, and personality, and the southern parts tending to be more open to the rest of Tamrielic culture. Hammerfell was absorbed by the Septim Empire, although some concessions were made after a successful revolt in Stros M'kai. His son, A'Tor, would go on to lead the Crowns' effort, but ultimately the Imperial backed Forebears won. A civil war soon broke out and in 2E 864, the Redguard king Thassad II was killed. Over time, Redguard society split into two factions, the Crowns, who followed the royal Na-Totambu and strove to hold onto traditional Yokudan culture, and the Forebears, descendants of the Ra Gada who wished to fully assimilate into Tamriel for the purposes of commerce and politics. Their language was eventually replaced because of the need to easily communicate with trading partners and create treaties, but the language was still spoken by some. In 1E 950, the Siege of Orsinium began with an outcome of Redguard and Breton victory. Only when the Redguards and the Bretons found a common enemy in the Orcs of Orsinium did they begin open trade with High Rock. They kept their Yokudan language intact and refused to trade with neighboring societies. The name "Redguard" originates from "Ra Gada."Īt first, this newcomer race did not open up to the rest of Tamrielic culture. Eventually, Yokudan royalty known as Na-Totambu left the island of Herne and made their place in Hammerfell after the Ra Gada drove off the Orsimer. Most of these refugees would stay on the island of Herne, but a group of warrior Yokudans known as the Ra Gada traveled to the mainland in 1E 808 and swept across the country to claim as much land as they could, slaughtering or enslaving the local beastfolk and Nedic tribes. The surviving Yokudans sailed to the east and settled in Volenfell (the Dwemer name for the region), what would later be known as Hammerfell. Around 1E 792, much of Yokuda sank into the ocean after a group of Ansei called the Hiradirge sought revenge on the land after their defeat in battle. Redguards are former inhabitants of the continent to the west, Yokuda. In appearance, the Redguards' skin tone can range from light brown to black, while their hair texture ranges from thick and wavy to tightly curled and wiry. They possess a hardy constitution which allows them to resist poison. They are generally average in height, with a well-muscled and sturdy physique. The Redguards' innate agility and high level of endurance allows them to excel in any activity that demands sustained effort, most notably combat. The desert was inhabited only by the nomadic Redguards. Its blazing heat, ferocious sandstorms, and lack of water, makes it nearly impossible to survive in the Alik'r Desert. The Alik'r Desert is also the home to ruins of countless civilizations that had perished beneath its sands. While the fauna of the Alik'r Desert remained deadly into the Third Era, the Redguards had managed to significantly reduce the presence and threat of those creatures. Until the coming of the Ra Gada in the ninth century of the First Era, the deserts were populated only by monstrous beasts, including giant scorpions. The Banthan Jungle is much more lively in comparison. The Alik'r Desert takes up the northwestern corner of Hammerfell, and is widely regarded as the most inhospitable region in all of Tamriel. Hammerfell is an arid land consisting mostly of jungles, deserts, mountains, and grasslands. Redguard card art from The Elder Scrolls: Legends.
