Daggerfall is one of the oldest and largest cities in High Rock and has long been considered its capital. It is also the capital of the Kingdom of Daggerfall, one of the largest city-states of the Iliac Bay, alongside Orsinium, Sentinel, and Wayrest. In 3E 401, the city of Daggerfall had a population of over 110,000.[1]
Name[]
There is a number of legends considering Daggerfall's name. By tradition, it is said that Daggerfall refers to the knife the first chieftain threw to form the borders of his lands.[1]
Geography[]
Daggerfall is located at the southern end of the province of High Rock. It takes its place on the very cape of the large peninsula separating the Iliac Bay from the Eltheric Ocean. This position has ensured Daggerfall's success in trade in early and middle First Era.
Prior to the Warp in the West, the Kingdom of Daggerfall bordered Tulune, Glenpoint, Ilessan Hills, and Shalgora. However, it's most known for conflicts with such Iliac Bay cities as Orsinium, Wayrest, and Sentinel. South of Daggerfall lies the small island of Betony, which caused a great war during the Third Era.
