Argonians are DAEDRIC?! - An Elder Scrolls Lore Theory about the Dubious Origins of the Hist

Ойындар

In our latest Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim video we explore a potential theory that may explains the secret daedric origins of argonians.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series and was released worldwide on November 11, 2011. The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim.

    I know that a lot of people think this sort of thing about Bethesda, but the fact is their Elder Scrolls lore is more or less "finished" internally at this point, with only a few true enigmas left. Argonian lore is "finished"... and they are not daedric-- nor are they aedric-- any more than sithis (sith-hist/sithis-ishist) omg) itself is aedric or daedric. It's neither, predating both.

    I believe the Hist are Daedric, in that they came before Nirn making them "Original Spirits", but they did not lend to its creation, hence they are "Not Ancestors". But the Argonians are just mortals that have been augmented by them. Similar to how Hercine makes Werewolves, but Werewolves are not Daedra. Or how Molag Bal made Vampires, but Vampires are not inherently Daedric in nature.

    The Argonians used obsidian in the old weapons. With Red Mountain being the only volcano they would have access to it seems that the Argonians had presence all the way through Morrowind before the Chimer were even there. Which is why they have also connection with the dwemer (their shields and maces have a design similar to that of dwemer architecture). When thw Chimwr first came they most likely fought the Argonians back down into Black Marsh where the Hist are.

Seven year game that is still getting new content. It has so much lore that it eclipses the lore that is in the main elder scrolls games and it builds upon the lore from all of them. Not just Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind but Daggerfall and Arena. Also Redguard. To call Eso not an elder scrolls game is just pure ignorance.What makes a game a elder scrolls games is the lore and world not gameplay since all the actual main games all played differently.

    @@Draazen perhaps but it is mainly due to game mechanics/abilities. Nords the Warcry thing is pointless who wants their enemies to run away makes it more difficult to kill them. Imperial Voice of the Emperor is similarly pointless why try to calm enemies unless you are a Vampire needing to feed then you have Vampiric Seduction that you get at the necessary time, otherwise just slaughter them all. Redguards Adrenaline Rush is also pointless regenerating stamina. While Bretons their Dragonskin absorbs magic so is helpful to reduce damage. Also beyond abilities natural other things then Nord and Redguard have reasonable use with Cold Resistance and Poison Resistance but Magic Resistance beats Cold Resistance cause beyond just resisting cold attacks it also applies to other elemental attacks. Imperial doesn't even have a resistance of some kind. Also Bosmer beats Redguard cause not only does it have the Poison Resistance they also have Disease Resistance so that beats out Redguard though admittedly the Bosmer ability is also fairly pointless but the duel resistances makes them valid.

    Nah, they’re just really racist (or at least used to be). The Dunmer think anything that isn’t an elf is just a talking animal, subhuman for lack of a better term. Other elves are below them too, but they’re at least considered people. Beast races get it the worst. Orcs of course are dumped in with the beast races, because they love to pretend Orcs aren’t elves even though the Dunmer LITERALLY came from the same conflict that created Orcs. Source: Morrowind dialogue on the Dunmer’s view of necromancy. I think from the Orc necromancer in the Balmora Mages Guild. To them, playing with animal souls isn’t necromancy, which includes all the other races because ThEy’Re NoT pEoPlE.

    The comment on how the swamp changes made me imagine a TES game with random generation, randomizing the Black Marsh or areas of the black marsh per playthrough, or per load. This tool would also be able to give us endless Daedric realms or otherwise dungeons we could explore. How interesting could it be for a full RNG RPG, that continuously generates worlds as you travel as you wish, minecraft style (Not graphics, the near endless terrain generation). Obviously far more advanced than a game that came out what 15 years ago? Not a TES game unless there were some story reason for the world collapsing and reality being unmade or something and the player is like an anchor re-binding reality giving it new form and shape. A good complicated generator that doesn't just handle terrain and dynamic cities and buildings (As well as a host of pre-made assets to just place like story locations or important cities (The outskirts of which could still be generated for more expansive cities), but also generate NPCs, factions, reputation systems (Generated faction x hates generated faction y, and is allied with generated faction z, and the generator determines Conflict Points by mapping the terrain between the two factions and plotting paths of travel, and placing forts and checkpoints, and patrols). No voiced NPCs, only generic sounds, all text. Text that can be generated in addition to premade "Personalities" for important characters, and premade NPCs in general that have a ton more detail such as a collection of premade story characters, romance options, and companions, while there would also still be possible generated companions. A system for the generation of armor, clothes, and weapons would also be incredible, when generating a faction or region it'd generate a Style for that faction and base object designs around that style, pulling from a suite of assets for Materials, textures, and and shapes. And of course, you could make your own clothes or armor by pulling from the same assets in a crafting menu via Tailoring and Blacksmithing skills. If the terrain can be generated, it should be possible to likewise allow deformation, destruction, and creation. Mining, tunneling, sieging buildings. Burn down a town, a dragon attack melting stone walls and leaving ash-shadows of people that were too close. Permanent scars of conflict, player and NPC made. But also a system for fixing these things. NPCs will passively do repairs on their own except when some threshhold is met for being too damaged, and a threshhold shared by the town at large if enough structures and people were destroyed or killed, then the village, town, or city would be abandoned into a ghost town and you could find the survivors as refuges traveling elsewhere and slowly adapting to a new location, and you might even recognize an NPC from a ruined village as a body on the road or in a dungeon as they were picked off by bandits or monsters or betrayed, ect. I feel like this should be entirely possible. Skyrim is almost a decade old. As is Minecraft, though pretty sure it was out for years before that release date google gives.

    My new Oblivion character is a Hand-to-hand Argonian fighter named Throws-Many-Punches. While he was still in the Imperial prison he received a vision of the upcoming Oblivion crisis but he was still locked up. The vision, which was, of course, sent to all Argonians by the Hist, showed him that the majority of his marsh-brothers and marsh-sisters were returning to the homeland and becoming empowered by the sap in order to prepare for the Daedric invasion. By the time Throws-Many-Punches got out of jail, he figured he might as well stay in Cyrodiil, train with the Fighters Guild and protect the locals who had no idea what was about to befall them since he was shown that Black Marsh would emerge victorious anyway.
