Homebrew Argonian Species Details
"The Argonian people have, throughout Temrielic history, been perhaps the most misunderstood, vilified, and reviled of all the sentient races. Yet, those who have taken the time to experience Argonian culture have gained a greater appreciation for this noble and beautiful people." -- Brenden the Persistent
Argonians or Saxhleel are an oviparous race of reptilian people native to the large and marshy province of Tamriel known as Black Marsh. They can be found in smaller numbers throughout the continent. Argonians are one of the few races completely unrelated to men and mer, who think of themselves as coming from, and ultimately returning to, the Hist.
Enigmatic and intelligent, the Argonians are experts of guerrilla tactics, and their natural abilities suit their swampy homeland. They have developed immunities to diseases that have plagued many would-be explorers in the region, and they are capable of easily exploring underwater locations due to their ability to breathe water. Argonians also have some resistance to poison.
Common Argonian names
Argonian names come in three different types: Single word, hyphenated names, and their Cyrodilic names. There are times that an Argonian's name is changed into a Cyrodilic name with regard to their original meaning, but more often than not, it has very little consideration. Many non-Argonians prefer their Cyrodilic name, as it can sometimes be unpronounceable.
