Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard is a stand-alone Gaiden Game set in The Elder Scrolls universe. Developed by Bethesda, it was released for PCnote The game itself runs in MS-DOS, but its installer requires Microsoft Windows 95. in 1998. Unlike the games in the numbered "core" series, Redguard is an Action-Adventure game with very few of the series' signature Western RPG or Wide-Open Sandbox elements.Redguard is a prequel to the main series set roughly 400 years before the events of Arena following Tiber Septim's conquest of the Redguard homeland of Hammerfell. You play as Cyrus, a Redguard pirate who arrives on the island of Stros M'Kai in order to find his missing sister, Iszara, and subsequently finds himself in the middle of political intrigue between the Imperial forces and a Redguard resistance movement called the Restless League.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Redguard was well received by critics and fans, but due to the cost of production and being built on outdated technology, it was a financial flop. It was intended to be the first in a series of The Elder Scrolls Adventures games, with The Eye of Argonia planned as a sequel. Redguard's lack of commercial success caused Bethesda to scrap those plans and return to its roots, culminating a few years later with the company's Breakthrough Hit: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.Perhaps the most lasting impact Redguard had on the series was the inclusion of The Pocket Guide to the Empire which shipped with the game. The Pocket Guide gave one of the first comprehensive looks at the series' background lore, which would be greatly expanded on in future games. |

Feelies: The game came packaged with The Pocket Guide to the Empire, the first comprehensive (though often unreliable from an in-universe perspective) look at the series' background lore. Early releases were also bundled with a copy of the Prequel comic book The Origin of Cyrus, which can now be downloaded as a PDF from Bethesda's website. |

Not in This for Your Revolution: Cyrus is an Only in It for the Money pirate. After a Duel to the Death goes awry, Cyrus was forced to flee Hammerfell, his homeland. He only returns later when his sister goes missing. During his quest to rescue her, Cyrus unintentionally becomes the leader of the Hammerfell Rebellion against the corrupt Imperial governor of Stros M'Kai, leading them to great success. They would have named him King of the Redguards afterward, but he turned them down. |

Early-Installment Weirdness |
| The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 |
comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: Nafaalilargus is a dragon in the service of Tiber Septim and the Imperial Legions. In appearance, abilities, and even naming conventions, he doesn't fit what would be established for the series' dragons later in Skyrim. Skyrim did include a reference to him in the in-game book "Atlas of Dragons" as Nahfahlaar, which means "Fury For Water" in Dovahzul. The Imperials are finally considered a distinct race for the first time in the series...except they're not often called "Imperials" here. They are instead referred to as "Cyrodiils" (after their home province) or "Cyro-Nords". Any instance where they are called Imperials is in reference to their empire and not their race. It wouldn't be until Morrowind that "Imperial" would refer to their race as well. |

False Reassurance: The Sload Necromancer N'Gasta doesn't exactly lie to Cyrus about the state of his sister, but at the end of their conversation, Cyrus leaves with no clue that Iszara made a Deal with the Devil with N'Gasta, that her body remains preserved in his tower, or that N'Gasta gave her soul to Clavicus Vile. If Cyrus doesn't initially take the delivery quest from Kotaro, though, N'Gasta's "solemn oath to reveal the full sum of his wisdoms" doesn't amount to much. |

comment |
Token Heroic Orc: Played with by Nafaalilargus (a.k.a. Nahfahlaar), at least from the perspective of the Empire. He is a dragon who managed to overcome his draconic nature and would ally with worthy mortals. For this reason, he was spared by the Blades in the 1st Era and would eventually find his way into the employ of Tiber Septim. However, because the Empire is the villain here, he is an antagonist who must be defeated. |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: In the intro, the camera pans over a library. There is a set of five numbered books where, if you pause, you can see that the books have the following titles: The Elder Scrolls Arena, The Elder Scrolls Daggerfall, The Elder Scrolls Morrowind (which was in pre-production), The Elder Scrolls Oblivion, and The Elder Scrolls Romanelli (this is simply a meaningless placeholder name since Bethesda hadn't settled on Skyrim yet). The amazing thing is that Bethesda had already decided on "Oblivion" for a title as far back as 1998 (Oblivion being released eight years later) and they had decided on making a fifth game down the line. |

Badass Normal: Cyrus is a simple Redguard pirate/swordsman. Despite this, during the course of the game, he slays a dragon, defeats a Sload Necromancer, and matches wits with a Daedric Prince. Later games and stories indicate that Cyrus was an incarnation of the HoonDing, the Redguard "Make Way" god who manifests whenever the Redguard people need a place to live. If true, Cyrus is a divinely Empowered Badass Normal instead. |

comment |
Your Soul is Mine!: N'Gasta practices the "Drained After Death" variation of the trope. He has set up a "soul snare" over the island of Stros M'Kai, which captures the souls of anyone who dies there. He uses the souls in his experiments and/or trades them to the Daedric Prince Clavicus Vile. As is the case for all Sload, he has an innate Lack of Empathy, which means he has no regard or pity for those he has captured, even comparing them to "coins in a pouch". |

Only in It for the Money: The protagonist is the Redguard pirate Cyrus. Cyrus' primary modus operandi is acquiring wealth and treasure, which, as a pirate, makes a lot of sense. He only got involved in the events of the Stros M'Kai uprising because it was made personal when his sister went missing. During his quest to rescue her, Cyrus unintentionally becomes the leader of the Hammerfell Rebellion against the corrupt Imperial governor of Stros M'Kai, leading them to great success. They would have named him King of the Redguards afterward, but he turned them down. |

Rousing Speech: Cyrus gets a great one.note His voice actor thanked the writer for the opportunity, as black actors rarely get to do so. |

Dragon Hoard: Subverted by the dragon Nafaalilargus (a.k.a. Nahfahlaar). He is assigned to guard the treasury beneath the palace of Stros M'Kai, but it is an Imperial treasure hoard, not his own. |

God in Human Form: According to late lore sources, Cyrus is said to be an incarnation of the HoonDing, the Yokudan/Redguard spirit of perseverance and "Make Way God", who manifests itself using mortal avatars. According to some interpretations, these avatars aren't necessarily the HoonDing itself, but the HoonDing taking over and/or working through the avatar. |

Knights and Knaves: Clavicus Vile, essentially the Daedric Prince of Deals With The Devil, poses this riddle to Cyrus. Vile asks if Cyrus had a classical education first, knowing it wouldn't be much of a riddle if Cyrus had heard it before. |

Nafaalilargus is a dragon in the service of Tiber Septim and the Imperial Legions. In appearance, abilities, and even naming conventions, he doesn't fit what would be established for the series' dragons later in Skyrim. |

Expy: Dram, Richton's Dark Elf assassin, is closely modeled after Boba Fett from Star Wars. Similarly, N'Gasta (and the Sload race in general) was created out of Michael Kirkbride's desire to draw Jabba the Hutt. |

Oddball in the Series: Redguard is a spin-off Action-Adventure game. It was intended to be the first installment of an Elder Scrolls spin-off series. Though it had a decent critical response, Bethesda went back to their Wide-Open Sandbox Western RPG roots with Morrowind and has stayed that way in the main series ever since. Had the game been a success, two sequels were planned. The first, titled Eye of Argonia, was about Cyrus searching for the titular artifact, while the second, Paradise Sugar, would take place in Elsweyr. |

Downer Beginning: In the prologue comic Cyrus killed his sister's groom, forcing himself to flee and ruining his country's last chance to avoid a civil war. The game starts with Hammerfell conquered by The Empire, who aided the enemy faction and then disposed of them too. The royal family is missing, presumed dead, and so is the hero's sister. |
