✭✭✭✭The Hist as it is known in current lore pre-dates Avatar. The original lore from 1998 was retconned a little in Morrowind and substantially in Oblivion (2006). Avatar released in 2009.19 -

Yea, ElderScrolls is very traditional and old IP. So When I saw first series of Avatar at the movie theater,
I thought someone of production team of Avatar have TES knowledge... or probably fan of TES.My playing time Mon-Friday UTC13:00-16:00 [PC-NA] CP over2000 now.

Nihilr✭✭✭✭Avatar's mechanic of "Pantheism" and circle of life was not invented in 2009. Both creations were inspired by... actual beliefs and worldviews.
But yes, I have seen the parallels and appreciate both.5 -

✭I couldn't understand logic of Solstice zone of Argonian.
They just put the eggs in the beach of ocean. There're no soul hist tree, even It's a salt water.
How can they hatch the eggs? They don't need hist god anymore?

There's a hist tree on the island.
Some of the lore indicates that Black Marsh might at one time have been much larger and a lot of it is now sunk under the ocean, so the hist network quite possibly extends a lot further out than its current shores.
Also, the hist isn't just the trees, it's strongest where they're present but it's everywhere to some degree.6 -
Ugrak✭✭✭✭Both the Hist and Avatar stuff reminds me a lot of some of the scifi stuff written by Ursula K. Le Guin. Stuff like "the word for world is forest" and "vaster than empires and more slow".1 -

Toanis✭✭✭✭✭Looking at it from an outside perspective, the Hist's connection to the Argonians is like that of a farmer to his animals.
Argonians are tending to their hist trees, serving as agents in the outside world and at the end of their lives they basically become fertilizer. Argonian culture and religion centered around their masters is what I'd imagine cattle would come up with.
Argonians born outside of Black March do just fine without the Hist, it's not the lukiul who should be pitied.1
