- Not to be confused with Hew's Mane.
Hew's Bane, also known as Khefrem's Boot,[1] is a zone in The Elder Scrolls Online: Thieves Guild.[2] It is a barren peninsula located on the southern coast of Hammerfell, with the bustling seaport of Abah's Landing as its only settlement.[3] Hew's Bane itself is part of a large region of Hammerfell known as Khefrem.[4]
Background[]
- "During the early days of the Ra Gada, Prince Hubalajad claimed this Hammerfell peninsula for his own. When all his ambitious endeavors ended in failure, the region acquired the nickname Hew's Bane―and it stuck."
- ―Loading screen[src]
Hew's Bane was originally colonized by the second wave of Redguards from the sunken continent of Yokuda, led by Prince Hubalajad, known also as Prince Hew,[3] and is home to the Khefrem Academy of Yokudan Heritage.[5] Hew's Bane was named as such due to the numerous failures of Hubalajad to colonize the peninsula, with some believing he had invoked the ire of a Yokudan god or Daedric Prince.[1]
In 2E 582, the Thieves Guild operated out of the sewers of Abah's Landing. After the Guild attempted to steal the wedding dowry of Magnifica Falorah, the Iron Wheel, hired by Falorah and led by Chief Inspector Rhanbiq, occupied the region from the nearby fortress of No Shira Citadel. Although the heist was a failure, the dowry was still missing, and the Iron Wheel hunted the Thieves Guild in an attempt to recover the dowry and bring the Guild to justice.[6][7]
