Once apart of the province of Hammerfall, the Druadach Highlands, after the contentious War of Bend'r Mahk between the Redguards and Nords, is a region that now falls mostly within the realm of Skyrim's encroaching westward borders. A rough and ancient region, the Druadach Highlands are home to many geographical features, from tall mesas that dominate the landscape, to sunken crevices and dozens of small exterior caves that poke out of the rock-face and provide a hiding place for rebels and bandits alike. Here you'll find many ruins, both ancient and new, from the long-standing towers of the Direnni Hegemony, a once powerful Aldmer clan that controlled much of High Rock and the Reach, to more recent ruins from the War of Bend'r Mahk, a war that, despite both sides agreeing to peace, still wages on in this conflict heavy region. It's not uncommon to see burned down towns, ruined farmsteads, unattended corpses along the road, and destroyed fortifications from bygone conflicts in the Druadach Highlands.

Though a rough and wild place, the Druadach Highlands is home to a diverse range of peoples, from the Redguards who, not so long ago, were the dominate faction in this part, to the Nords, Reachmen, and even the odd Orc or two. You'll find many small villages here, several of them of Reachmen design and origin, as well as the city of Dragonstar, the only major city in this conflict-prone region. Despite the inhospitable terrain and the wide range of dangers that await travelers in this region, the Druadach Highlands are a land of beautiful natural landmarks, scenic roadways, and rustic villages with a unique sense of culture, and are certainly worth exploring.

Parts of the Druadach Highlands are already available to play through with the Karthwasten release of Skyrim - Home of the Nords (available from the Nexus), and the rest of the region will likely be released later this year with the city of Dragonstar!
