Herne is an island off the west coast of Hammerfell, north of Cespar.[1] It is most notable for acting as the temporary refuge for the Yokudan nobility, known as the Na-Totambu, during the Ra Gada exodus to Tamriel in the early First Era.[2]
Although some sources claim Herne was uninhabited before their arrival,[2] others claim that it was inhabited by a tribe of Nedes, led by a warchief named Haakon. The Nedes had successfully repulsed many attacks by elves prior to the arrival of the Yokudans, but the Ra Gada ultimately exterminated them.[3][4]
After the loss of Eyevea to the Mages Guild in 2E 582, Sheogorath considered bringing Herne to the Shivering Isles, but it was not the right shape.[5] The island was considered by the Empire to be Hammerfell's territory in 3E 427.[6]
