Argonians and the brotherhood

dinogamer14miku · April 2016

When i was doing some starting missions for the ebonheart pact, i ended up helping a ton of Argonian npcs that lived in and around ebonheart's territory's and their was something i just happen to notice out of curiosity. When i talked to a lot of the Argoinan npcs they mentioned sithis quite a good bit. As a dark brotherhood member from Skyrim i obviously knew what this word was but i was just wondering something. Do the Argoinans race specifically have more connections to the dark brotherhood than any other race? i dont know too much of ESO lore and was wondering if someone could answer this for me.

Yes.

The eggs hatched under the sign of the shadow are dedicated to Sithis. These are the Shadowscales are a big part of Argonian society, I suspect more so than Morag Tong is to Dunmer which is saying something. Supposedly they make up roughly 1/10th of Argonian Society, which seems a bit much to me. Then again maybe they don't all go around killing all the time, but just supporting the organization. The Shadowscales I think operate a little differently than the regular DB crowd though, and are a kind of secret police for the King of the Saxhleel. There is some interesting stuff about Sithis you can see just by going through the Ebonheart pact storylines involving Argonians.

According to lore, the Shadowscales were originally a seperate group inside the Dark Brotherhood;

oh i see! That one Argonian from skyrim named Veezara had been one of the shadowscales and was currently in the dark brotherhood! didn't he mention he was one of the last of the shadowscales? i had felt kind of bad for the guy. Oh yeah, there was some missions you had to do with the Aldermeri dominion that had to do with them as well, Man i need to know my lore!

@dinogamer14miku Www.Truean-xileel.guildlaunch.com has some Shadowscale info compiled in the sub forum sections.
Shadowscales served the Saxhleel leadership physically. We trained for stealth assassinations in protection of our people and service to Seth(Sithis). Much is still unknown in regards to the Saxhleel leadership of 2E 582. Our secrets will remain so until the Hist decides.
