nekollx Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 So this has been bugging me for a while there are male and female argoinians in Skyrim, we can presume at least SOME had relations but in the lore it says the Hist is injested on their Hatching day that effects their appearance, but theirs no HISt tree In Skyrim so what do Skyrim Born Argonians look like?

Georgiegril Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 My guess is that the eggs only hatch in the proximity of a Hist tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekollx Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 except the lore is they injest it on their hatching day, so they have to hatch first. Though that does make me wonder, are Sprigans an extention of the Hist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yes, but in order to develop/hatch, an egg might need to interact on the molecular level with a Hst tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekollx Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 hum true it is a unique relationship...your probably right which means they probably have to make prilgramanges probably as a group since the journey can't be easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicky540 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 there is a hist tree in skyrim. ... its even got a (dont remember the english word for it) to simply tap the juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdonin Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 there is a hist tree in skyrim. ... its even got a (dont remember the english word for it) to simply tap the juice. That is the Sleeping-Sap tree, and is probably not a Hist. Not in the strict sense... if the story of it blowing down from a flying city is true, then it came from Umbriel, and would be an Ur-Hist. However, you do have the Eldergleam, which is a magical, sentient tree which can shape living things... That sounds alot like a Hist... Anywho, we don't know enough about the Hist and how they influence Argonian development yet. MK tells us there will be more information in TES:O, but until we know for sure we don't even know if the Argonians are capable of normal reproduction. There is a running hypothesis that they aren't actually Argonian until after they ingest the sap of the Hist, and otherwise they are just normal swamp-dwelling reptiles. If that is the case, than the Argonians in Skyrim, Morrowind, Cyrodiil etc. would all have to be born in Blackmarsh. We don't really know how long an Argonian can live, mind you, so it's possible they could get a lot of traveling done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordread12 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 it is stated that they can breastfeed instead but its less preferable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
