Love the argonians I would love to hear about the redguards I feel as they were also very proficient in fighting the dedrea my only proof of this is an unmarked quest in skyrim. You have to find the missing student's rings and go into the midden, find the deadric gauntlet place the rings and you're faced with a deadeic lord who is dressed in redguard clothes if a deadra is immulating their fighting style and clothing they must have a reason for this weather that's a testament to their fighting prowess or their overall ruthlessness is debatable, you could even say it means nothing but I always felt like it was a deadra immulating the redguards which seems telling to me could be reading too much into a random small detail tho

Definitely strange how the Argonians get raided and struggle against the Dark Elves until the Hist trees were threatened. Argonians got a massive buff from the Hist trees who really don’t care about the Argonian individuals lives, possibly due to rebirth.

apparently its mentioned in Skyrim somewhere, with its 2 actual appearances being in 2 novels though the reason why it isn't really known about is because in universe for the most part its within its own bubble in oblivion where the hist originated from, until its first appearance in Tamriel 49 years after the oblivion crisis

[@romanianpatriot777]

A very nice video as always but the Hist arent older than the Aedra and Daedra , because the Aedra made Mundus where the Hist evolved Edit: one theory states that some of the et’Ada that didn’t become the Aedra but rather consumed theirselves whole during the creation , because not only the Aedra but some lesser et’Ada participated, get down on Nirn and kind of bound themselves whole to the new created world becoming part of the Earthbones like Y’ffre the Wood God of the Wood Elves become one of the Earthbones , they become a part of Mundus itself to stabilize it, while the Aedra stabilize it and bound themselves metaphysically through the Universe to Mundus and shield the Mundus from Oblivion because though they can’t interact that directly as the Daedric Gods can because the Aedra need a sacrifice for example to interact directly , they did not vanished or become Earthbones because they didn’t consumed themselves whole but rather a portion of their godly power , this is due to the fact some et’Ada the original godly spirits were bigger and more powerful than others , the smaller and weaker ones that consumed themselves completely during creation vanished another part became the Earthbones and some of these Earthbones became also mortal creatures like the Hist that are able to die and others metaphysical Earthbones like the Wood God Y’ffre.

[@Taykoe88]

The way the Argonian relationship with the hist trees and such is kinda like how in the Avatar movies where they all can connect to the world's network of memories and such by connecting their hair to the vines of their world tree and they also believed they'd go into this system when they die like the Argonians believe. An ever-changing circle of energy.

[@sygmarvexarion7891]

How can the Hist have existed before the Aedra and Daedra when the world itself didn't exist until the Aedra created Nirn?! So were these trees just floating through space before Nirn was created so they could take roots on it? How can an Argonian who is born away from Black Marsh become a real person if they never ingest the sap of the Hist?

[@vx8431]

The Aedra didn't create Nirn. Nirn was formed from the original 12 worlds by Anu. Anu and Padomay (Sithis) are the two primordial gods. Anu merged the original 12 worlds to create Nirn to protect them/spite Sithis and they fought and Sithis lost and went away for a time but then came back and they fought again but this time their blood became the Aedra and the Deadra who are just Aedra at the start. The Hist tree itself claims Sithis as its creator so it is hard to pin down exactly when the Hist was born but before the Bones of creation we know so either when the worlds merged or around the same time as the Aedra with the blood making them also divine beings.

(15:40) Part of me kind of hopes the story of the Kharhaten Flu annihilating any peoples besides the argonians was overstated. Seems kinda lame to wipe out all the non argonians in one region.

[@Desolate-Utopia]

It's up in the air. We know very little of them besides just a couple Imperial scholar entries that hypothesize that the Knahaten Flu wiped them out. It's just as possible that the remaining few spared by the Flu retreated deep into the swamps, and that's why they're never seen or known to be alive. It's a similar story to the Ayleids that retreated to Valenwood. There very well may be a few small pockets of unintegrated Ayleids in the deep forests of Valenwood. Tamriel is a huge place.

[@MadMakreelMars]

in Windhelm the argonians are kept at the docks because of het dunmer refugees, not because of the nords. it was something that the dunmer and argonians would masacre each other.
