My first character was Argonian, and then after that I've playing as a lot of Nords working for the Empire. I hope to remake my Argonian character soon...
So one of my favorite parts about how the argonians handled the oblivion crisis, is that they not only put an end to the crisis on their territory, but they also took advantage of the situation to invade Morrowind in its weakened state and free all the argonian slaves

The thing I want to know is, how the Argonians went from being completely immune to poison in Morrowind and Oblivion to having no resistance to it at all in Skyrim.
When I first read about Argonians storming Oblivion I was like: Damn! That's so cool! Let's add to that that they knew about Oblivion Crisis because Hists warned them.
As far as we know they didn't warn or help any of the other provinces. The hist actually brought many of them back to Black Marsh. This left them in a super strong position post Oblivion crisis where everyone else was hurt more. This probably influenced how the Argonians invaded southern Morrowind. The Hist are really playing 4D chess.
Orc children are raised inside the fortress until their late teens and kept isolated from all but the Matron and Chief. Elven children are abit of a mystery still, And afaik Khajit young stay in what are known as 'dens'. Also they are born with the lunar cycle somehow so yeah.
I've noticed that there isn't even pregnant Nord Women. I mean that one guy from the Forsworn Conspiracy quest said his wife was pregnant, but we've never seen an actual pregnant woman. Maybe they all lay eggs like the Argonians.
The only explanation for a lot of questionable things is this: Bethesda is lazy. This is why Arena was a generic fantasy game and Argonians were humans with funny faces and blue skin. This is also why Argonians and Khajiits were only ever remotely bestial in appearance in Morrowind (I guess Khajiits got a bone thrown at them in ESO, but ESO is shit).
I remember one of my former characters when I was playing Skyrim was an Argonian (Since they're my favorite race and all) and the story that I gave him was that he was born in Solstheim after his parents fled Morrowind from the eruption of Red Mountain. In turn he wasn't born with access to a Hist tree but instead he was chosen by Akatosh to carry his Dragon Blood to make him the Dragon Born. This in turn gave him a very Dragon looking appearance. Lengthening and thinning the snout as much as possible, giving him a low, stream-lined, brow like it would cut through the air better if he could fly, giving him horns and the more thornier, spikier brows and such. And he was probably my favorite way to play in any of the Elder Scrolls games: A Night Blade. Mixing Illusion magic with Stealth. Definitely a fun character. :>
Interesting concept, that bit about Argonians actually invading Oblivion during the crisis. Sounds like a fun idea for a mod, storming an entire plain of Oblivion with an actual army at your back.
The sibling theory is also proven as they have a camp near the solitude stables and if you wake deeja while trying to talk with her she says the following:"you talk to egg BROTHERS deeja has no words for you"

I was surprised that he didn't mention that in one of the morrowind dlc's that there is a side quest where you get to take part in acting out the play.
Argonians have all ways been my favorite race, due to them being so unique compared to the others. I really like the Orcs as well, due to them being more like orcs in the typical sense besides the fact that they are basically mer, Orsimer. :P
Being a huge fan of Argonians I paid extra attention to the lore and story during my playthrough in ESO of both the base argonian inhabited zones and Murkmire. As far as the Hist trees are concerned it's not that it gives them a soul as it more or less harbors it for their reincarnation in a pocket dimension not too far different from oblivion. If an argonian is born away from a tree they are not connected to one and therefore do not 'hear it calling to them' and when they die they will not be able to reincarnate. This is also why it is devastating for a tribe to lose a tree. They cannot connect with another tree. Another interesting thing I learned in Murkmire was that an elf was studying them and was trying to find the secret to the hist to gain immortality and his research led him to question how argonians even exist since they are neither cold blooded nor warm blooded. As he basically put it 'technically they shouldn't even exist as they are'. They can also invoke the power of the hist through a ritual to basically be turned back into an egg so they can hatch anew, some of them do this to change genders, there's a whole quest line about that whole process. All the new stuff I learned from that zone just makes me more impressed and interested in the race. Bonus bonus fact.... don't ask an Argonian to sing for you, they are absolutely tone deaf and sound terrifying xD
For #2, ESO actually explored what happens when an argonian is born without a hist tree. You deal with one in a quest with his dark elf partner. It described him as being very withdrawn, and he was for better lack of words, autistic. When he connects with a Hist tree during the quest, he "comes out of his shell" and no longer has autism basically.....it really sounds terrible, but its the only comparison I can make lol
Nords: We are the greatest race! Altmer: We are the greatest race, you impudent man. Argonian seeing this after walking out of the Oblivion gate with a Daedric woman in his arm: Hold my beer.
Dayum, not only gonna fend off their invasion, chase them back to and kick their a$$es on their own turf, but also take their women. This is why the lizard bois are my favorite race.
@@shadowstrider5033 How about a Harvester? They a feminine snake-like daedra. ...Okay scratch that, for they're tall & have four arms, the Argonian likely be in it's arm instead.
Well the Hist trees are said to claim that Sithis it the true creator of the known universe. Also why any Argonians born under the sign of the Shadow where given to the Dark Brotherhood. So that could become a shadow scale. At least that is what I understand from the lore. (Edit: Saw a spelling error and had to correct it.)
@@MrJudeWanamaker The sultry argonian bard can be found in the cavern under the dawn guard castle. It's on a table if i remember well after you passed all the traps.
Didn’t mention that Argonians have specific life phases - they don’t grow steadily they just morph from say child to teen all at once after a certain number of years in a certain form. And, each time they morph to a life phase, they have about a 50/50 shot of having their gender change. So yes, just about every adult Argonian you have met in the main games has transitioned at-least once, if not more.
Nate totally didn't cover that Argonian's can apparently give birth to live young if there is no Hist tree according to another source I saw and that's how they get around not having the sap. It's straight from mother to child- but this third hand information now. Fugemppet had a video on it which was pretty interesting.
@@Wuffindy You are talking about a different quests but they are both examples of what happens if an Argonian is born outside of Black Marsh without a source of Hist.
They're actually 100% immune to diseases. I always play as Argonians and my Argonian characters never catches diseases. It's not luck, as luck doesn't exist
5:00 Imagine this for an Elder Scrolls game in BlackMarsh. A large group of Argonian eggs have been taken and raised up to be some sort of slave-group. Maybe brought up as Assassins (Or the Dark Brotherhood). Because they were taken before hatching, they really don't have any soul, and feel lost or without identity. Near the ending of the questline for this group, they may request the protagonist to help them attain some sort of meaning in life, or attain a soul. The protagonist can help them gather sap or do something else.
On the matter of the sap, I imagine that they import sap around the continent, and because it holds no value to anyone but argonian parents, it tends not to come up very often even in shops.
5:35 Good question. I assume nothing special happens to the argonian child raised without the Hist sap. My reasoning is that plenty of argonians were hatched under slavery by the Dunmer. Highly doubtful that their Dunmer masters took the young to Black Marsh just to feed on Hist sap.
I always find myself playing as Khajiit or Argonian. I find them more interesting to play than human or mer races, and more aesthetically pleasing during playthroughs.
Fact: There's a hist tree in Skyrim, and a quest to take sap from it. The sap is called "sleeping tree sap" and can be used like a potion. It can also be obtained outside of the quest, though I think there's a cooldown on how often you can take from it.
Telenger the artificer being the author of the erotic novel research book was hilarious. He was definitely one of my favourite characters in eso. The great mage wanders through great peril and lusting students seemingly oblivious to everything, causing chaos wherever he goes. One can imagine him writing the work without even smiling. Gotta love Altmer mages.
"And merely migrated over here" I'm sorry to tell you, Nate, but much as you want it, you don't live in Tamriel. You want it one way, but it's the other way.
Fun fact: The Saxhleel don't have any concept of time. As such, their language never had any words for it (for example, their native language doesn't have any version of past, present or future tense) so learning the Imperial Language and learning all the past, present and future tenses was the most difficult part. This could also be why they never wrote anything down, as they didn't see a reason to do so.
7:51 wasn't it the Hists that called all Argonians back to Black Marsh before the crisis even happened? Which implies that they either knew stuff or that they sensed something?
I don’t know how many people know this but apparently there was a race that lived in Black Marsh before the Argonians called the called the Lilmothiit. I believe that they were basically Fox folk. From what I read they went extinct a long time ago. Their reason for extinction is unknown from what I can gather.
Well, considering the fact that the Sheo you see in Skyrim IS the Hero of Kvatch, who not only closed like, 40 Oblivion gates, but did so alone, before becoming a Daedra, I'd say he's probably not that impressed.
@@anidiot9831 while closing 40 oblivion gates is really impressive it might not be as impressive as turning the invasion on its head and invading the oblivion plane of Dagon himself, and scaring the dremora so much so that they close all the gates in Black Marsh themselves
What if argonians have to consume the sap of a Hist tree while producing an egg, and if they don't, the argonian produces a very similar substance to replace...... milk
Alright, new head cannon: the Argonians trapped in Oblivion when the portal closed continued their mission, slowly increasing the land they hold with each generation.
I hope in Elder Scrolls 6, they show off kids of the different races. And let us marry different races too, like argonians and cats, despite the different ways marriage works for them. I also hope there's more customization to the level up system..
"5 things they never told you about argonians" *the two argonians who later try to kill you has a brother* absolutely stunning. SPECTACULAR analysis. what a game changing discovery. thank you for allowing the message to reach my ear. I'm always happy to learn about argonians
I'd actually love to see how the different races along with creatures and magic and stuff would look in a real world modern day setting, like still in Tamriel but electricity and stuff being used along with firearms
As far as I know, there are two instances of argonians being born away from the hist. One in the black marsh story line where she cannot hear the hist, another where the argonians of a small village have their souls stolen, and one that was born outside of the hist loosed his ability to speak. It is even said that an argonian born outside a host doesn't fully understand the Jel language, so there are a number of differences that happen

Argonians have all ways been my favorite race, due to them being so unique compared to the others. I really like the Orcs as well, due to them being more like orcs in the typical sense besides the fact that they are basically mer, Orsimer. :P
That’s it, I’m gonna make an Argonian character in Skyrim. AND YOU CAN’T STOP ME NOW, I’M ALREADY IN THE CHARACTER CREATOR!!
What a feckin madlad...
Who would stop you from playing the best race. Ironically they make great warrior characters. Histskin is a great ability for tanks.
Also I refuse to put on helmet for the play through
@@TaurusTheCrazyBull Theres a mod that allows horns to poke through hoods and helms. Horns are Forever (Persistent Argonian Horns)
@@fightingfaerie Ooooh, that's why i refused them, it looked REALLY weird that it went from horns to no horns basically
Being a huge fan of Argonians I paid extra attention to the lore and story during my playthrough in ESO of both the base argonian inhabited zones and Murkmire. As far as the Hist trees are concerned it's not that it gives them a soul as it more or less harbors it for their reincarnation in a pocket dimension not too far different from oblivion. If an argonian is born away from a tree they are not connected to one and therefore do not 'hear it calling to them' and when they die they will not be able to reincarnate. This is also why it is devastating for a tribe to lose a tree. They cannot connect with another tree. Another interesting thing I learned in Murkmire was that an elf was studying them and was trying to find the secret to the hist to gain immortality and his research led him to question how argonians even exist since they are neither cold blooded nor warm blooded. As he basically put it 'technically they shouldn't even exist as they are'. They can also invoke the power of the hist through a ritual to basically be turned back into an egg so they can hatch anew, some of them do this to change genders, there's a whole quest line about that whole process. All the new stuff I learned from that zone just makes me more impressed and interested in the race.
Bonus bonus fact.... don't ask an Argonian to sing for you, they are absolutely tone deaf and sound terrifying xD
Oh hell yeah trans lizards
Also in ESO I helped a retired Argonian adventurer turn themselves into an alligator.
For #2, ESO actually explored what happens when an argonian is born without a hist tree. You deal with one in a quest with his dark elf partner. It described him as being very withdrawn, and he was for better lack of words, autistic. When he connects with a Hist tree during the quest, he "comes out of his shell" and no longer has autism basically.....it really sounds terrible, but its the only comparison I can make lol
Nords: We are the greatest race!
Altmer: We are the greatest race, you impudent man.
Argonian seeing this after walking out of the Oblivion gate with a Daedric woman in his arm: Hold my beer.
I can only picture a spider daedra.
You mean hold my Hist
Void Walker me too but it is carrying him and he is hammered
Dayum, not only gonna fend off their invasion, chase them back to and kick their a$$es on their own turf, but also take their women. This is why the lizard bois are my favorite race.
@@shadowstrider5033 How about a Harvester? They a feminine snake-like daedra.
...Okay scratch that, for they're tall & have four arms, the Argonian likely be in it's arm instead.
Just so you know: Accirding to TESO many of those old temples harbor relics, tomes etc. of Sithis
Well the Hist trees are said to claim that Sithis it the true creator of the known universe. Also why any Argonians born under the sign of the Shadow where given to the Dark Brotherhood. So that could become a shadow scale. At least that is what I understand from the lore.
(Edit: Saw a spelling error and had to correct it.)
Accirding is way more interesting than according. I'm not even kidding 😂
Seeing as Argonians openly revere Sithis, that should come as a surprise to nobody.
Daedra: we'll attack blackmarsh.

Didn’t mention that Argonians have specific life phases - they don’t grow steadily they just morph from say child to teen all at once after a certain number of years in a certain form. And, each time they morph to a life phase, they have about a 50/50 shot of having their gender change. So yes, just about every adult Argonian you have met in the main games has transitioned at-least once, if not more.
Nate totally didn't cover that Argonian's can apparently give birth to live young if there is no Hist tree according to another source I saw and that's how they get around not having the sap. It's straight from mother to child- but this third hand information now. Fugemppet had a video on it which was pretty interesting.
Wasn't there an Argonian in ESO (Murkmire expansion) who claimed not to hear the hist trees b/c she grew up outside of Black Marsh? Kassandra?
I think its he, and he was visiting back to black marsh isn't it? With his dark elf wife
Kassandra was the one who was funding the search for the main questline - you meet her at Famia's office about halfway through or so.
@@Wuffindy You are talking about a different quests but they are both examples of what happens if an Argonian is born outside of Black Marsh without a source of Hist.
50% resistant to disease, not poison. Loved the video. Hoping for ES6 to be in Black Marsh

Argonians: *uno reverse card*
5:00 Imagine this for an Elder Scrolls game in BlackMarsh.
A large group of Argonian eggs have been taken and raised up to be some sort of slave-group. Maybe brought up as Assassins (Or the Dark Brotherhood). Because they were taken before hatching, they really don't have any soul, and feel lost or without identity.
Near the ending of the questline for this group, they may request the protagonist to help them attain some sort of meaning in life, or attain a soul. The protagonist can help them gather sap or do something else.
Daedra: BOW BEFORE US MORTALS
Argonians: "polish spears with malicious intent while BFG division starts playing"
Other races: YOU CAN'T JUST RAID A WHOLE ENTIRE DOMAIN RULED BY LITERAL GODS
Argonians: haha oblivion go brrrrrr
Argonians: Not my gods... Savages.
On the matter of the sap, I imagine that they import sap around the continent, and because it holds no value to anyone but argonian parents, it tends not to come up very often even in shops.
9 years later, this legend is still making content we all enjoy and love
5:35 Good question. I assume nothing special happens to the argonian child raised without the Hist sap. My reasoning is that plenty of argonians were hatched under slavery by the Dunmer. Highly doubtful that their Dunmer masters took the young to Black Marsh just to feed on Hist sap.
we need a fresh prince of bell air style song revolving around a dragonborn argonian in skyrim
That would change my life
Holy sh*t that would be epic.
Also, you had the perfect opportunity to say “And with that, we argonian to wrap up.” *sigh* The road not taken.
Lmao
I'm pretty sure making Elder Scrolls puns is Camelworks' job
I always find myself playing as Khajiit or Argonian. I find them more interesting to play than human or mer races, and more aesthetically pleasing during playthroughs.
Fact: There's a hist tree in Skyrim, and a quest to take sap from it. The sap is called "sleeping tree sap" and can be used like a potion. It can also be obtained outside of the quest, though I think there's a cooldown on how often you can take from it.
Telenger the artificer being the author of the erotic novel research book was hilarious. He was definitely one of my favourite characters in eso. The great mage wanders through great peril and lusting students seemingly oblivious to everything, causing chaos wherever he goes. One can imagine him writing the work without even smiling. Gotta love Altmer mages.
"And merely migrated over here"
I'm sorry to tell you, Nate, but much as you want it, you don't live in Tamriel.
You want it one way, but it's the other way.
Fun fact: The Saxhleel don't have any concept of time. As such, their language never had any words for it (for example, their native language doesn't have any version of past, present or future tense) so learning the Imperial Language and learning all the past, present and future tenses was the most difficult part. This could also be why they never wrote anything down, as they didn't see a reason to do so.
There's actually something that happens for argonians born out of black marsh. The mother argonian can start producing hist sap to feed the baby.
Uuuuuuh, _Hist Sap_ , huh 😏😋
Well yeah Breast milk altered with just Hist sap as an ingredient.

"Aronian secrets" look at the thumbnail
Hmmm, perhaps she's a maid?...
The reason i love the elder scrolls game franchise, the lore just keeps coming and coming.
7:51 wasn't it the Hists that called all Argonians back to Black Marsh before the crisis even happened? Which implies that they either knew stuff or that they sensed something?
I don’t know how many people know this but apparently there was a race that lived in Black Marsh before the Argonians called the called the Lilmothiit. I believe that they were basically Fox folk. From what I read they went extinct a long time ago. Their reason for extinction is unknown from what I can gather.
My first game of skyrim was with an Argonian, still get on my 360 to feel the nostalgia now and then
Braedyn J mine was an argonian too
I love how goofy and surprised the Argonian's appearance in Skyrim is.
It's generally accepted that these lizards also hold public office from time to time.
Shegorath would consider the argonians crazier than him to invade bal's plane of oblivian
Dagon's.

@@biotoxichazard6165 lol
Well, considering the fact that the Sheo you see in Skyrim IS the Hero of Kvatch, who not only closed like, 40 Oblivion gates, but did so alone, before becoming a Daedra, I'd say he's probably not that impressed.
@@anidiot9831 while closing 40 oblivion gates is really impressive it might not be as impressive as turning the invasion on its head and invading the oblivion plane of Dagon himself, and scaring the dremora so much so that they close all the gates in Black Marsh themselves
What if argonians have to consume the sap of a Hist tree while producing an egg, and if they don't, the argonian produces a very similar substance to replace...... milk

Argonians are one of my favorite races to play. Always seen as the under dog. Always made fun of but one of two races that look epic.

I'd actually love to see how the different races along with creatures and magic and stuff would look in a real world modern day setting, like still in Tamriel but electricity and stuff being used along with firearms
Even before the argonion videos I considered argonions one of my favorite races along with bretons and orcs and the videos just add to that like
It’s nice they’re finally getting attention. I remember seeing a comment wanting this kind of video
Guys we are implementing a neoliberal system into skyrim the next creation club mod
As far as I know, there are two instances of argonians being born away from the hist. One in the black marsh story line where she cannot hear the hist, another where the argonians of a small village have their souls stolen, and one that was born outside of the hist loosed his ability to speak. It is even said that an argonian born outside a host doesn't fully understand the Jel language, so there are a number of differences that happen
Last time I was this early, the snow elfs were still fighting against nords
Fact: during ESO in Lilmoth, Black Marsh their's a inn called "The Lusty Argonian Footman".
