On that same note, considering how little fans really know of the Redguards from firsthand interactions with the culture, Bethesda still has room to work with. It might not necessarily be the developer’s intention to simply give players everything they ask for, since this can make it difficult to deliver meaningful surprises. Of the many areas that Bethesda has to choose from when it comes to planning the setting for the next Elder Scrolls, Hammerfell also stands out as a fan favorite.
After the “they have curved swords” line in Skyrim, it really felt like the game might send players there at some point, but it never did. Their presence is strange enough in the game world for it to warrant a spoken line from the guards that has been the center of hundreds of Skyrim memes since the game launched. In fact, it always seemed strange that the sidequest pertaining to the Alik’r warriors that come into Whiterun looking for Saadia is really all players get to see of Hammerfell natives. This on its own excited many players to the idea that some upcoming DLC involving the Redguards and this new culture that Oblivion had never really delved into. Specifically speaking, Skyrim previously gave players a much clearer view of Hammerfell and the Redguard in The Elder Scrolls than its predecessor did. While some of the fan theories about how Bethesda has already hinted at Hammerfell might be questionable at best, there is plenty of reason to believe that the region has been in the planning for some time. However, not everyone is completely convinced by this tease, similar to other suggested teases for upcoming Bethesda titles, and some that have commented on what is in the image are playing along for more comical reasons.
As far as teases go, it isn’t uncommon for developers to hide this kind of content in the background of released images, and the placements might be as deliberate as fans claim. It’s the highlighting of the region’s label, as well as the fact that surrounding regions have been obscured by objects or cropped out of the tweeted image that seems to have “confirmed” the tease for these fans.Īdditional clues include people assuming that another candle on the northern shore of the map is meant to represent a boat, one that can actually be found by players in Skyrim.
The leading clues that fans have clung to is the three candles that appear scattered across the map, with one placed under the label for the region of Hammerfell to the southwest of the main area. In a tweet by Bethesda, the developer revealed a map of the region of Skyrim that some have interpreted as a tease that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be in Hammerfell.
