Let's keep on talking about Hammerfell, the Oblivion side of the Tamriel Rebuilt project, which I would to promote on this forum by giving you a copy of what has been posted at the Bethesda Forums.
Great progress has been achieved since the first thread: feel free to read and watch everything, and ask questions if you like.

Tamriel Rebuilt is a massive effort to reconstruct Tamriel, piece by piece, based on Elder Scrolls lore. Currently, we are working on bringing the province of Hammerfell to life. Hammerfell is a diverse province populated by the Redguards, descendants of the mythic Ra Gada who came from the lost continent of Yokuda to conquer this desert province. The Redguards are a fiercely independent and proud people, famous throughout the Empire for their skill in warfare and seafaring.
One of our primary objectives is to make Hammerfell a completely unique gaming experience. The cities of Hammerfell are nothing like those of the Imperial Province, and neither are its terrian, peoples, or culture. In order to achieve this lofty objective we have modeled and textured hundreds of objects for Goldmoor alone! Everything from the grass of the region to the armor of the native Raga will let you know that you're not in Cyrodiil any more. Here are some screenshots of our latest model work:

-- Goldmoor --
Goldmoor is a vast land of grassy hills, monolithic tors, and swampy coastal inlets located in the south of Hammerfell. Goldmoor is home to two major Forebear cities, Rihad and Taneth. Rihad was founded by the famous Swordsinger Frandar Hunding. The city is named after his martyred cousin, who died leading the Ra Gadu against the Orcs at Djuk'r do Bet-Kortein (Battle of Corten Mount). Rihad is unique in that it is a fiercely traditional Forebear city. They consider the empire a powerful ally, but by no means intend to Cyrodiify like Taneth has done. Raha Treigo, a dictator-general who rose to power after the Camoran Usurper defeated the city, rules the city of Rihad.
Rihad is defined by its fort-like layout, with many tight streets and courtyards. Parts of the city are separated by gates and walls, making it a very efficiently defensible fortress.

-- Helkori and beyond --
North-east of Goldmoor lies the great Helkori plain. The Helkori is a savanna of rolling grass, largely uninterrupted by foliage except for the exotic trees of the region and small shrubs. There are many small villages in the Helkori, but no major settlements. Here are some pictures of our progress on the Helkori, as well as concept art for further regions.

-- What can I do to help? --
Everything! The simplest way to help is to spread the word of Tamriel Rebuilt. Simply putting a link in your signature or telling a fellow forum user about us goes great ways to helping us succeed. Even something as basic as showing your support helps us out a lot
We also require modders. There are three landscape claims still available for Goldmoor for exterior modders to work on. The landscapes are already populated with procedurally generated items; the modder's task consists of fixing errors and adding detail. Modelers and texturers are very much needed to help us bring our vision of Hammerfell to you. All kinds of claims are available for your meshing/texturing pleasure. Of course, we also need concept artists to develop that vision in the first place. Check out our Join Now page for more information.
Hope you like what you see!
Until next time,
