There is a building dedicated entirely to "Lusty Argonian Maid" fanfiction

Based Hist, would let myself be mindcontrolled by it just to enjoy the crazy lizard orgies.

A lot of the design of the Argonians is to blend in with the mammalian races of Tamriel. Having tits, wangs, facial expressions, and ability to screw is all to interact better with the mammals and make them more comfortable with the lizard race. It's basically A Form You Are Comfortable With on behalf of the Hist servant race.

@@Mortablunt that is actually a possible explanation if you disregard the Times of Stone. During the Times of Stone, when Argonia was an empire and they built Xanmeers to Sithis and had advanced magitech, the Argonians were designed to “rule”, so to speak. They were not a servant race to anyone but the Hist. Once the Hist decided to deny them their fruits and technology and guided them to becoming servile, adaptive, cunning and subtle as the other races rose to greater power, it would make a lot of sense. We know for a fact that, given the Oblivion crisis and the formation of the An-Xileel, that Argonian biology was changed for war. As a result, it is possible that they weren’t always like that. ESO, however, shows in Murkmire that ancient Argonians didn’t really look any different, leading one to question then what the role of the pleasure in casual sex was for.

@@Andreithelord I am but a simple memer, clinging to my Oblivion savefile from 2008.

It's one of those things that helps to really tie worldbuilding together. Like diet, imagine a race of anthro wolves only eating meat because they're descended from obligate carnivores. Does it matter to the world? Not in the slightest. But it makes it feel all the more real and tangible. Same goes for sex and genitalia, you really don't need to add it to your projects but seeing in world sex ed that's different to yours is one of those things that acts as a cherry on top.

I think she had more than 4 children, in daggerfall she already had 3 plus a secret child that became a nightingale, and the bio states how promiscuous she was before that

@@SpikedKirby The wiki only has three listed, plus the one she allegedly had with Tiber Septim makes four

That's also how humans work, AFAB people have a set amount of eggs from birth that were grown in the womb (as opposed to sperm, which is produced by the testicles constantly after puberty)

Given that they also say that having sex with one of the man races can "quicken" an elf and cause procreation to take better, I think it's less that they can "only" have 4 kids (a limited number of gametes), but rather that embryos don't implant well in elven women. I'd wager it's a hormone thing, since there's also a lot of lore that says elven men are feminine to the point some of the more dimorphic races get confused because they can't rely on clothing tells. To me it sounds like merrish women don't have a big spike in hormones to ready their bodies until they're "quickened" as a reaction to pheromones from mannish or mixed races, unlike what humans undergo IRL. This also factors in why in the only region where a merrish species was free to mix with a mannish species, the Altmeri and Nedic folk created an entire race of manmer, the Bretons. (Makes me curious if that old rumored theory about Symmachus' bloodline is true and there's basically a Dunmer "subspecies" that's the Dunmer-ish counterpart to Bretons, elves with dominant Nord traits like Bretons are humans with dominant Altmer traits.)

@@Ghost_Hybrid After seeing the dragonborn race in that game I wonder how Argonians will look like in TES 6.

No a furry is a mentally I’ll person who dresses like An animal to feed into their own sick delusions. Since Khajiit are actual felines this is more beastiality.

If you're attracted to them then you have a furry fetish.

It absolutely does. Do not fight it, just embrace the barbs, I mean the fur.

@@secretname2670they’re the Al’fiq. The Khajiit we play as in Oblivion and Skyrim are Cathay.

I don’t remember the differences, but the Ohmes-Raht is bigger I assume, since the “Raht” suffix tends to mean bigger. There’s also the Dagi and Dagi-Raht which are really small bipedal ones, that are really good at climbing trees. I forget the rest but I think some are even like Sabre cats.

Differently from other franchises, The Elder Scrolls lore takes itself so seriously and deep that even intercourse is scientifically documented, it's incredible.

Truly a creative invention!

But for real though, what is impressive is how well documented intercourse and reproduction are in TES.

I heard there was tentacles in certain parts of loverslab! How curious!

There seems to be a section particularly interested in eggs as well. The Hist experimenting again perhaps?

Knowing Dunmer women from the lore, I would not discount the possibility... Imagine Dagoth-Ur getting turned down by a Dunmer women because he had no barbs... Wait! Maybe this is the reason he hates Khajit so much!

I don't remember where it was, but one of the lore writers actually clarified about the Khajiit barb situation. He said that the more elf-like Khajiit have none, but the more animalistic-looking ones do, and that Therris, the thief Barenziah did things with, was a Cathay-Raht, the large type that has been compared to werewolves in physique. I imagine the body type is very close, but with cat features. This means all the four-legged Khajiit would also be that way, similar to real cats. The Ohmes-Raht we typically see in games, and the Ohmes, which almost just look like Bosmer, have no such barbs. This is probably why the only well-known mention is Therris having that feature, because the Khajiit most widespread and likely to have that sort of relations with other people just don't have that. There's still the issue of all but the Ohmes being furry, which probably leads most people from other races to compare them too closely to animals for it to be comfortable considering a relationship with one, most likely being the explanation for why we never really see an interracial couple including a Khajiit. Although the popularity of books about Argonians suggests maybe a lot of people in TES really just don't care, and would be comfortable doing that with anything vaguely shaped like a human. Hard to be sure, but it seems like interracial pairings between Orcs, Khajiit, and Argonians are far less common than humans and elves. My best guess is that most humans and elves don't like tusks, fur, or scales, and that the Argonian-themed books are read more for amusement than any weird interest in getting friendly with a lizard.

The barbs are only present on two speciic furstocks. One is Suthay-raht, and Cathay-raht. The latter typically being what we play as.

@@tomthestone1470 Where do you get that idea? The Alfiq definitely have them, and are even stated as being physically indistinguishable from a pet cat. Also, the ones shown in games as playable characters are NOT Cathay-Raht. Cathay-Raht is a huge Khajiit, typically much larger than a normal person, and compared directly to werewolves in one book because of how bestial they look. The ones we play as now tend to be Cathay, very similar in basic appearance to Cathay-Raht, but normal sized and closer to the body proportions of a human in most ways.

If any race would be into it, it'd be the Dunmer. Definitely the Dunmer.

Summerset has a very high expat rate. Generally, anyone who disapproves of the strict Altmer culture was always expected to simply leave for other parts of Tamriel. This means that only the hardline traditionalists stayed, thus making the society more and more conservative over time. That was suddenly changing at the end of the Third Era, which may have played a role in the rise of the Thalmor, as a kind of reactionary backlash.

​@@PoseurGothLooking at the USA and Japan... that checks out.

@@PoseurGoth The beginning of the Aldmeri Dominion storyline in ESO is basically about fighting against a group of Altmer supremacists who disagree with then-queen Ayrenn's attempts to reopen Summerset's borders. They even have what are basically concentration camps designed to "reform" and "educate" Bosmer and Khajiit to being subservient to Altmer. Those who push back are sent to "The Cave" and it's shown multiple times that people will do _anything_ to avoid that.

I love that (hopefully intentional) reference to nymphs

Yeah, Sanguine in Elsweyer is also considered a patron of vampires, so the comparisons to Molag Bal are really apt.

Does sex with a vampire count as necrophilia

@@grandmasteryoda6717 I'm not totally sure. They function mostly like living people and can even reproduce, as happened with the orc in the Imperial City's arena, who was the son of a vampire. They also have no decay or anything like that, and there's no mention I know of about them being cold. Personally, I'd count TES vampires as not necrophilia, because I think of it as just being actual corpses, reanimated like Arondil does or not. I can see them being technically undead raising the question, but they don't resemble or function like corpses. The same sort of question could also be applied to someone with a werewolf. Is it bestiality, and is that person a furry? In this case, calling them not a furry would be hard to justify, but I don't think it really qualifies as bestiality in that case, if the werewolf is in normal form. If some weirdo does that while they're wolfed out, it would be hard to say it isn't, but some people might say it depends on how aware the werewolf is, and if their mind is in full control like the Companions. If both people are werewolves, it also just doesn't really matter since it's no different than two regular people being together.

@@grandmasteryoda6717 Vampirism in Elder Scrolls lore is more of a cellular mutation than anything, so probably not.

Yes, but it's secret sex, open and acceptable sex is Dibella.

Although those curses probably changed their dna, azura must have done something to the chimer genome to result in dark skin and red eyes.

@@masync183 assuming that dna and genes are a thing in the world of TeS. Remember, the sun is a giant hole left in the sky when some god bailed on reality and some dude retroactively defoliated an entire region by thinking really hard, nothing is off the table.

@@robonerd125 Yeah. Also: Divayth Fyr made four clones of himself as part of his corprus research, I would be willing to say that if there was DNA involved in anything like a conventional way, there should be physical consequence to having magic cancer clone babies. Also also, there's talks about "committing ancestricide", which tells me that there's magic involved in whatever in TES passes for genetics. Also the Bosmer are confirmed to be able to revert back to an earlier "unstable" et'Ada form where they shift between man and mer and beast and plant for their Wild Hunts, whiiiiiich tells me that whatever serves as DNA?

"Pregnant person" Unless there are asari in Elder Scrolls all of a sudden, there's a word for the subset of mammalian species able to become pregnant. Starts with a W...

@@KopperNeoman Friend, you are objecting to a woman being called a person, and that's not the look you think it is. Also Argonians in ES are wont to be a confusion cluster since they literally have the capacity to switch between the two genital sets, and none of us are actually in the know how many in-between states they might have and what lines they recognize. We DO know when they do mate, they have the capacity to both lay eggs and to gestate as it's demanded of them. They're not mammalian, and can experience pregnancy and are people in this fictional setting. We ALSO don't have a lot of information on biological dimorphism in ES in general, we just _presume_ it is the exact same as real life. For all we know, Vivec's duel casting set up ain't rare in the slightest, and we couldn't say if he was capable of carrying and birthing children or no. Maybe he could, maybe other people like him can, we call him "he" with or without that information not because of that capacity, but because of penis+lack of fatty breast tissue. If it's possible for him, HE would be pregnant, no way around it, that'd be a pregnant man. So yes, pregnant person to cover all my bases from a biological stand point. If you want to make that broad generalization, go right ahead, but I don't know a lot of details that makes that a stupid ass hill to be fighting over.

Good question, most people overlook the Argonians in everything except the Oblivion Crisis.

Hmm I don't think that's correct. Generally speaking child has higher chance to inherit mother's race vs father's, as hers will be more dominant. However there will be cases when child will inherit father's race vs mothers. Like Mankar Camorran whose mother Kaalys was a bosmer and he inherits race of Camorran Usurper who was an altmer. But yes I can see that small feature carryover can happen for the suppressed race in the mix scenario. Probably best example is magic in bretons here as they were selectively breed to exclude altmer phenotype from them.

Racial Phylogeny is not the end all be all authority on this topic, is contradicted by other pieces of evidence and in the end that isn't even what the tect actually says.

Very lore accurate...

That will be a hard one but ill have a look

This piqued my interest indeed

Not everyone does that

I wouldn't say this whole ordeal was as violent as you describe it. Considered that Hegemony lasted for long time, and it's end was peaceful no less. Also one would have to take doubt on 'unwilling'. Direnni were elves after all, do we really have to believe that all Nedic people were forced to breed ? More likely it was mutual into one another, because to Nedes back then Altmers of Direnni clan were exotic. And can look irl how far sexuality can go when you mix exotica to it. Direnni were also well organised, much more sophiticated then Nede could be and wielded power of magic which Nede of old couldn't. All in all I think Nedes were more then willing to mix with Altmers there. As for tyrannical mandates, the forced breeding was mostly 'forced unbreeding' of the Nede-Altmer offspring that happened to end up being an Altmer. These were forced to never ever procreate with full fledged Altmers and thus forcing the elven phenotype mostly to dissapear from early Breton population. Bretons could breed with whoever they wanted, as I doubt practice of sleeping with Direnni evaporated. We need to account also that Direnni were pretty much unorthodox ones for Summerset in general view. So I really don't think any other altmer outside of thsi clan was even thinking fondly of whole idea of mixing in first place. Hegemony as it was, was rather normal. Direnni screw themselves up with completely other thing, but as far as I know it was nowhere nearly as you describe it to be. And tbh, bretons fought willingly at side of Direnni's and in defense of elves against Alessian Empire. Until Empire came up with it's merphobia, you had many and I do mean MAAAAANY noble breton homes proudly take any opportunity they had to show off their elven heritage. I don't believe for a second that Direnni were against Bretons wielding magic, Direnni altmers were always about breaking status quo. They are pursuers of knowledge at heart, as is described by their book "Once".
