Ineteresting read, although I disagree with some of what you said on the Summerset Isles.

For starters, the Summerset Isles are constantly assaulted by Maormer, Sload, sea monsters, pirates, and other invading forces that have painted the coastlines red with blood. As a result the Altmer possess omne of the most powerful navies in Tamriel.

It has some of the most interesting architecture described in Tamriel, with mountain settlements built atop ancient coral ruins, impossibly high glass towers that refract the light of the sun into rainbows, and of course the Crystal Tower. Their s hips are made of crystal and solidified sunlight, with prows that elongate into swirling Sun-Birds, and gem-encrusted mini-trebuchets which fire pure aetheric fire.

There's often been internal strife within the Isles, whether it be enmity between the different castes of society, wars between the main cities, or uprisings against monarchs placed by the Empire. Not to mention the Psijic Order have now been branded as a rogue organisation by the Aldmeri Dominion after their repeated clashes.

Overall, considering the slavery, eugenics, strict hierarchy, and constant warfare and bloodshed that exists in Altmeri society, I think it's more than just a land of happiness, rainbows and sunshine. With all that said, I agree that Hammerfell is most likely to be the setting of TES 6 (Bethesda even trademarked 'Redguard').
