It’s believed that Argonians can drink the sap because of their natural resistance to poison, but it’s more likely that the Argonians can drink it because they are physically connected to the Hist.Īt an early age, each Argonian goes through a ritual. However, the effects on a non-Argonian mind can be devastating, even deadly. Legends say that if a person drinks the sap of the Hist that it can tap into this inter-tree communication. Being a part of a hive mind means that all the trees of the Hist feel the same way, and if one tree feels that we are barbaric savages, then they all do. Although some Hist have been known to go rogue, these betrayers are destroyed immediately, without hesitation. The lizard army of the HistĪll of the Hist are connected in a hive mind that extends through their roots. And to them, all the other folks in Tamriel are savages. The Hist are trees - living, sentient trees. The Hist aren’t exactly the gods of the Argonians, as they are presented in some of the texts. Perhaps this is the way the Hist see everyone else on Tamriel.
In fact, according to the Kardashev scale, a more advanced civilization would be absorbing energy directly from the sun before truly being able to venture to other worlds.Īn alien species could likely absorb its sustenance directly from the sun and would see our world as disgusting, regardless of its level of civilization.
We don’t gain sustenance by simply absorbing energy from our sun instead, most of us kill or maim other living creatures on our planet to gain energy. And these extraterrestrials would like see us as savages not because of lack of technology but because of how we consume nourishment. But Tyson suggested that aliens who are able to make it to Earth would probably have a very different outlook on life. (Trust me this relates.) Many times in science fiction, aliens are described as having very human-like attributes, which is clearly understandable because they are stories meant to attract other humans. The other day, I was listening to Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson’s podcast and YouTube show called StarTalk, and he was asked what aliens would think of us humans if they were to visit Earth today. Let’s take a few moments to discover the sentient trees that are the Hist and possibly discover the origin of the Argonian race. However, I have all the secrets here, before the DLC officially drops. In Elder Scrolls Online, we can visit Shadowfen, which is technically a part of the Argonian homeland, but in the next DLC, we get to dive deep into the Black Marsh and hopefully discover the mysteries of the Hist. It doesn’t mean that their lore isn’t rich and deep. (That was a beard joke, by the way.) But just because I’m not a huge fan of this lizard race doesn’t mean that they aren’t worth playing. I usually prefer the more cuddly creatures, like Kajiit… or Nords. Perhaps this can be traced back to the Trandoshans in Stars Wars, or perhaps it’s a general dislike of reptiles.
I’m ashamed to admit that the Argonians are probably my least favorite of all the Elder Scrolls Online races.
