Yokuda

Yokuda was a continent to the west of Tamriel, and was a home to Lefthanded Elves and Redguards. Most of the continent sunk in 1E 792, but the cause is still debated today. Some say a series of natural earthquakes hit Yokuda, causing it to sink. Others say the Ansei group, the Hiradirge caused it. Redguards, then known as Yokudans, traveled to Tamriel and escaped this disaster. There is a reference to Redguards destroying their continent so that they could make the journey to Tamriel, but that does not elaborate.

History
Very little is known about a history of this continent. It is known that series of civil wars took place there. The first occurred in the Fourth and the last in Eighth century of First Era. During the last civil war, only known combatants were a renegade band of Ansei, called the Hiradirge, who were defeated in 1E 792. At some point, the Redguards had a war with Lefthanded Elves, whom they defeated using Orichalcum weapons.

Geography
When Yokuda existed, it was a place of "rocky, barren hills were matched by the fecund combination of sophisticated agriculture, politics, and warfare." It was harsh environment, training well Yokudans for their lives on Tamriel.
