Today I’m bringing you a short video essay covering one of my all-time favourite slices of Tamrielic lore – heavily debated, I should add! – featuring the Argonians and the Oblivion Crisis.

When Mehrunes Dagon’s forces stormed Tamriel, every province burned. But in Black Marsh, the Daedra met something they had never faced before. Was it myth, propaganda, or one of Tamriel’s greatest victories?

⚔️ The Hist whispered. The An-Xileel rose. And the Daedra… retreated.

📺 Watch now as we uncover the most underrated chapter of Elder Scrolls history.

Includes a bonus song (yeah, couldn’t resist making a short music video) about the An-Xileel at the end!
