ESO Race: Argonian
Learn about the Argonian race in The Elder Scrolls Online. Each ESO race comes with its own unique passives. What do Argonians offer?
Argonians As An ESO Race Option
Argonians are part of the Ebonheart Pact faction in The Elder Scrolls Online. This faction was created by a pack between the Argonian, Dark Elf, and Nord races. The symbol Ebonheart Pact is a dragon. The colors of the Pact are red and black.
Lore says that despite the three races hate for each other, the alliance was formed by necessity as they recognized the threat from unified enemies. Players selecting this faction will begin in Bleakrock Isle after their escape from Coldharbour.
Historial Background Of The Argonians
The Argonians are a reptilian people of the Black Marsh, a vast swampland area located in southeastern Tamriel. Other races often refer to them as lizards of ‘Lizard folk’. The Argonians are considered experts in guerilla warfare by defending their borders from enemies over countless centuries.
Lore tells us that Argonians are agile and cunning and possess natural immunity to poison and disease. They are swift swimmers and can breathe underwater. Argonians are also very adept spellcasters and excel in the art of stealth.
It is said the Argonians are strange, expressionless, reserved people, who are slow to know and trust. Even Argonians would agree they often have trouble fully understanding the body language, emotions, and motivations of fellow kinsmen.
