Hammerfell

Hammerfell is the home of the Redguards, as well as Tamriel's largest desert, the Alik'r. Known for its harsh and unforgiving climate, its people are known to be the same way.

Location
Hammerfell is located below High Rock, bordered to the east by Cyrodiil.

History
Hammerfell was first inhabited by the Ayleid elves in the first era. After Yokuda sank beneath the ocean, the Redguards fled to Hammerfell where they made settlements. Events such as the Warp in the West redefined politics in Hammerfell, reducing the amount of city-states from over 100 to just 3. In a time when Tamriel was in pieces, some time after the Oblivion Crisis, when Elsweyr and Valenwood had been ceded to the Thalmor, Hammerfell was facing trials of its own. Incessant fighting between the Forebears and Crowns factions was tearing apart the land. Hammerfell boasts being the only nation to defeat the Third Aldmeri Dominion. As of today, Hammerfell is a sovereign nation, no longer under it's previous control of the Empire.

Geography
Most of Hammerfell is covered by the vast Alik'r desert, the largest in Tamriel. Much of Hammerfell contains rugged hilly landscape, as well as dunes.

Climate
Hammerfell is widely known for its harsh and unforgiving climate, mainly in the Alik'r region. All across Hammerfell, the climate tends to be very hot, occasionally reaching extremes.
