Redguard

Redguards, the dark-skinned people of Hammerfell, are a physically powerful race in Tamriel. Combined with their knowledge of all weapon and armor types, they make great warriors or thief-type characters. The Redguards' Adrenaline Rush ability is similar to the Orcs' Berserker Rage and Nords' Battlecry.

Their naturally high One-Handed and Destruction attributes make the Redguard a good race for those who want to play as battle mages.
