    "Black Marsh is a dense swampland region of southeastern Tamriel, home to the reptilian humanoid race of Argonians and a race of sentient trees known as the Hist. Mer races also use the name Argonia, a reference to an obscure ancient battlefield, to avoid the negative connotations of the term "Black Marsh."

    First of all, native folk of these lands that we call Argonians are Saxhleel. Also, I like the term Black Marsh more.

    No idea, I just know it as "that damn place I never want to quest again" or in character "that place".

    The imperials gave it the title black march but the argonians (mostly natives, most likely not immgrants or ones that grew up in other regions) refer to it as argonia. So I just guess it depends what race you are honestly.

    "The Marsh" seems most acceptable

    if "smug" means excess, then true,do not be. If it means proud, then we certainly should be and be more so.
    Vicecannon Heita-Meen and even more so, Keshu the Black Fin earned far more then almalexia agreeing to publicly discontinue Saxhleel trafficking.
    The Black Fin freed and trained many of us, while Heita-Meen strategically fought and freed herself. They both happened to join that Akaviri invasion and saved the losing dunmer and nords.
    Actually, more Saxhleel need to be aware of the fact we were going to take our independence that same day regardless. That same day Heita-Meen was on her way to kill a whole lot of dunmer with a Shellback army, and Keshu was arriving to assist Jorunn.

    Right. Black Marsh is the Imperial name, Argonia is the Aldmeri name, and "the Marsh" is often used by Argonians when referring to their homeland in Tamrielic. But we don't actually know if the region has a name in Jel.

    It should be called... "underwhelming, poorly-designed land". Or perhaps "I can't be bothered to explore this place land".
