Descendants of the Hist
by Wuthilul Glim
Argonians, denizens of Black Marsh, the mysterious race of Tamriel, evolved from the Hist itself. Argonians can call upon their Hist skin to heal themselves and regenerate blood quickly. Many years of defending Argonia from those heartless beasts beyond their borders have made them exceptionally skilled in guerilla warfare.
They speak the tongue of Jel, a language only their kind can understand. For one does not go into Black Marsh without being able to speak the tongue of Jel, a language so hard to translate no Men nor Mer can understand, only a few.
Argonians do not take kindly of outsiders, especially Dark Elves, for the Dark Elves chopped down the Argonians most sacred tree, the Hist and made leather out of it, the Argonians were furious until this day.
Argonains heal faster using the Histskin, it was a gift from the Hist now the Argonians can use it at their will. They are also immune to disease and poison for being born under a Tree of great power, has it's perks. And you reader, I bet you've seen an Argonian before, well did you see his nostrils? Or did you see gills. I bet you saw those nostrils, well, I don't blame you, it's well hidden. Argonians do use their nostrils to breath but they use their gills to breath in water. Argonians swim faster than most races of Tamriel, they can dive deep in to deep trenches of the oceans of Tamriel and live there forever. Argonians can hold their breath for an infinite amount of time.
Argonians, Argoninas... A race that show no emotion nor feelings. Well you are wrong, they do have feelings. For they have been hated around Tamriel for their "monstrous looks'. Well, shame on you! The Dunmer's who have been making slaves out of Argonians, terrorizing their homeland, killing their sacred trees! The Imperials who tried to conquer but failed! You Men and Mer of Tamriel, greedy, selfish, evil! Now do not be mistaken for what I have just said, not all Argoninans are good, they have conquer a part of Morrowind, because the Dunmer made that happen. Then they paid for what they have done, for the Red Mountain erupted leaving you weak...
I wrote this book, not to be bias to the Argonians, saying how great they are. But saying to ALL of Tamriel that our realm is full of darkness and that we can improve it. United and strong against the evil of Oblivion. Let us now, come together.
