A race in the Elder Scrolls video
game series.
The most naturally talented warriors in Tamriel, the dark-skinned, wiry-haired Redguards of Hammerfell seem born to battle, though their pride and fierce independence of spirit makes them more suitable as scouts or skirmishers, or as free-ranging heroes and adventurers, than as
rank-and-file soldiers. In addition to their cultural affinities for many
weapon and armor styles, Redguards are also physically blessed with hardy constitutions, resistance to
poison, and quickness of
foot. Redguards do not share the same blood as the other human races. Their original home was not Atmora, the ancestral land of the Nedic progenitors of Nord, Breton, and Imperial bloodlines.
A Redguard, the fiercest
warrior in the
game, is a master of martial arts. With bonuses in Blade,
Blunt and Athletics, they are fast - and deadly - warriors.
