    My DK is a Redguard, I think it fits the lore.

    "Redguards are the most naturally talented warriors in Tamriel. The dark-skinned, wiry-haired people 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 armor styles and weapons (particularly swords), Redguards are also physically blessed with hardy constitutions, resistance to poison, and quickness of foot."

    shoutout to Lady of Scrolls youtube with awesome lore videos on the redguard (others have videos too)

    I really like the redguard, probably my second favorite race now (or at least tied for second) I like the lore of the various waves and the overall lore of them pretty much resisting and winning every war / invasion that happened, they even 1vX the aldmeri dominion of the 4th era after the empire crumbled.

    I also like their preference for small elite mobile sword singer / knightly orders devoted to combat and war rather then a conscript standing army, as its both interesting and how they have effectively held off invasion and continued to fight.

    I don't much care for the "oh don't kill undead" thing, but that is more specific to their own dead, rather then undead as a whole, so whatever.

    but there preference for skilled martial, tactical, and mental prowess and disdain for illusion and "cheesy" magic and tactics (my words not theirs) really spoke to me. where as imperials and Bretons are very classic and boring, and nords while Viking are often portrayed as brutish drunk "argggg lets go die wahhhhh!" warriors, redguards seem slightly based more on Japanese combat style and mastery. preferring the style of "if your going to be a swordsman, devote yourself to it and be the best."

    I also love classic fantasy deserts, as they invoke a very warm and adventurous nature to them.

    Thanks for responding. Yeah, I enjoy the lore aspect of the Redguard, but how do you feel it fits with the given class skills available to use. This is my biggest problem in trying to roll up a Redguard char.

    Redguards are very superstitious people...something like indians irl but very talented at swordplay. I am currently playing my first necromancer through the DC questline and I am close to getting to Alik`r....gonna be interesting xD

    obvious stam is obvious but getting nit picky about it:

    they are more sustain but less focused on amping your recovery and focused on stam back from a hit, that means the fit stam that is not necessarily in medium armor, as given enough recovery in medium armor something like wood elf would be better. so going with less recovery in medium or stamina in heavy armor fits better.

    they also focus on weapon line cost reduction, so if going stam a preference towards a class like stam sorc that focuses on weapon lines fits well. in fact stam sorc also gets a lot of its recovery from dark deal and less from recovery, synergizing with the redguard means of recovery.

    its also worth noting that while in no way optimal a redguard could be used as a healer that uses resto staff skills, as the cost reduction is any weapon line, not just stam. also, magicka users can always make use of raw stamina to sprint, roll dodge, and break free more, further, the snare reduction stacks with light armor snare reduction. and finally the raw stamina on a hit would be better then a minor recovery bonus as healers would lack raw stam recovery in most cases.


    so if going stam classes that need stam recovery but don't favor raw recovery or play in heavy armor would be stam sorc, and stam DK primarily, warden also would be nice as its also focused on a skirmisher mentality and relies on weapon skills outside of shalks.
    and if off meta magicka healer a class that makes use of resto skills more so then class skills, so things like warden, templar, and necro are out, its the most off meta healer you can think of.
