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.
