It's confirmed it's Argonian armour? Could very well be Kothringi.

Admittedly, I hadn't considered that. I took the label from the "All Motifs" thread at face value.
If that's the case, then consider this a preemptive "Can we make sure the Argonian helmets are designed for Argonians." thread.

Though Kothringi would be a strange choice since, you know, they're all dead. Oh! Spoilers!

Well, we do have dwemer, ancient elf, and datamined yokudan styles. I wouldn't be surprised if more styles from dead races started cropping up. After all, they just need an example of what they wore to have a style for them.

True, but Dwemer and "Ancient Elf" are both futures that left the world littered with ruins and such to give a sense of history and culture.

No such thing really exists for Kothringi. Though I suppose it's not impossible there are Kothringi ruins deep in Blackmarsh. I just never took them as a builder culture.

It could be Kothringi, but we already have ancient motifs for elves and orcs (in addition to Orcs getting Trinimac and Malacath styles). I think it's more likely that it's a new Argonian style, especially since all the Kothringi are dead as far as we know.

Just cuz the race is extinct doesn't mean we're not getting their style.

One could also mention that there are still likely humans with kothringi ancestors in the world (Imperial being most likely). I think part of the fun of being an Imperial is that they are the melting pot race of humanity, being a little slice of Akaviri, Kothringi, Redguard, Breton, Nedic, etc. This is just like the fact that some Bosmer are part ayleid, and part human in ancestry, or that the Bretons are themselves Direnni+Nedic/Nordic.

Yes!

When did the Mayan clothing become Argonian? The screen print in the OP look just like typical early Mayan dress.

Don't play an Argonian myself, more a feline fan and run a pair of Khajiit's, but you have my support those who are fans of playing Argonian's should have armor tailored to them.

For that matter I should have armor that covers my poor kitty tail, as it is now it out that all unarmored and a target just like yours only we cannot shed ours and grow new ones.

At least your cultural motif has a cat face.
I'm not saying I want a literal lizard face; but I would at least like it to fit my lizard face without having to be stretched to wonky proportions.

Snout Armor perhaps? I've pondered how do you create helmets for a race with spines, fins, feathers, feathers and spines, horns on the back of the head, horns on the front of the head, horns on the chin! It would really require custom helmets realistically speaking, and I guess that's the difficulty of Argonians. This is why I end up not wearing helmets on my argonians, and I look at it as simply as this: Argonians have hard heads with hard horns on them.

Because Argonian fashion God gave schematic after many a sacrificial cereal bowl was given in tribute .

The Argonian styles have always drawn pretty heavy inspiration from various ancient central and south American cultures.
