no it doesn't have to be set in hammerfell, it would actually be all provinces because after the war the thalmor took large chunks of the southern part of the empire and sowed discord between the redguards and the empire, causing the emperor to leave hammerfell adrift to fight the aldemeri alone.The redguards fought to a virtual stalmate leaving their lands destroyed but the thalmor unable to continue the war,that's where the player comes in charged secretly by the empire to forge ties with those whould fight culminating in one huge battle,after a few small skirmishes.
