Hamar

Hamar is a port city and the political capital of Country Hamar. It is the westernmost city in Kyrodil, located along the Blue Sea. The Holy Cathredral of Palios, where followers of the Great Six seek his blessing, dominates its skyline. Hamar is home to guildhalls for the Sorcerers Association as well as the Warriors Union. In the northeast portion of Hamar lies the statue of Ranahaldus. Fort Hamar, home of Count Kazat Doom, lies on a small island just to the south of the city. Hamar and Celgrad are the only two cities in Kyrodil in which the castle lies outside of the walls. Another landmark in Hamar is the Kenus Mansion, one of the largest houses in Kyrodil. Hamar has built up a very active trade industry (both legal and otherwise), and much of the town caters directly to sailors. Also, many Akothaki inhabit Hamar because, according to Sven the Sexy, they are "sick of freezing their asses off in Groundbrim."

Hamar is one of the smaller cities in Kyrodil, with a small residential area and few shops. While the dockside population is usually a varied mix of races, Keladin and Kaledonians are rarely seen (with the notable exception of famous author Pen-Fix) within the city proper. The architecture is comprised of large stone buildings with decorative facades and multiple stories; the image is only slightly marred by a few rundown wooden structures. Outside of the docks, the harbor buildings are much less decorative, clearly emphasizing function over form.
