Lore:Yokuda

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The western continent of Yokuda, which sank into the sea in ancient times, was the original home continent of the Redguards. Its destruction was either the result of earth tremors or was caused by the Redguards themselves. Yokuda was the scene of frequent warfare, and there are tales blaming the cataclysm on a rebel band of Ansei, magical swordsmen whose secret techniques are reputedly capable of such devastation. In any event, the Redguards themselves seem to be under the impression that the destruction of Yokuda was in some way their fault. Upon the sinking of their homeland, which apparently was predictable to some degree, the Yokudan fleet set sail to the east, where they shored at the continent of Tamriel in the province of Hammerfell.

Although Yokuda no longer exists, it is included on one map of Western Tamriel. Also, according to residents of Anvil, ships still sail to Yokuda from Anvil.
