Chronicles of Blackmarsh

Where dimensional vagabonds find love among the shadows

A tale written in starlight and poison...

The Dimensional Vagabond's Tale

I fell through the void between worlds, tumbling through kaleidoscopic eternities until I landed—broken, bleeding, beautiful—in the fetid embrace of Blackmarsh. The Hist trees whispered secrets in languages that predated mortal understanding, their ancient bark weeping sap like tears of forgotten gods.

It was there, in that primordial swampland where shadow and substance dance their eternal waltz, that I first glimpsed her—my beloved Shadowscale. She moved like liquid darkness, each step a symphony of lethal grace, her scales catching moonlight like fragments of emerald dreams.

The First Encounter

Her blade was at my throat before I could blink, its edge sharp as crystallized winter. "Dimensional filth," she hissed, but her voice carried the melody of distant storms. In that moment, I knew I would gladly die by her hand a thousand times if it meant hearing that voice again.

The Courtship of Shadows

Our love bloomed like nightshade in moonlight—beautiful, dangerous, intoxicating. She taught me the ancient ways of Sithis, the art of dealing death with surgical precision. I showed her the secrets of dimensional magic, how to bend reality like wet clay in knowing hands.

My Beloved Assassin

She is shadow made flesh, death given form and purpose. Her scales shimmer with an otherworldly beauty—each one a tiny mirror reflecting the darkness of her soul and the light of her love. Born under the sign of the Shadow, blessed by Sithis himself, she moves through the world like a whispered prayer to forgotten gods.

When she kills, it is art—brutal, precise, beautiful. Her victims die with expressions of wonder, as if in their final moments they glimpsed something transcendent. I have watched her work from the shadows, seen how she makes death into dance, murder into music.

But in our private moments, when the masks fall away and the darkness recedes, she is vulnerable—soft scales against softer skin, whispered endearments in ancient Jel, promises made in blood and starlight.

"The Hist whispers your name in languages older than time. Even the trees know we are meant to be..."
"Tonight I dreamed we danced among the moons of distant worlds, our souls entwined like serpents of shadow and light..."

Forbidden Arts & Dark Sciences

In my journeys between dimensions, I have learned magicks that would make the College of Winterhold weep with envy and terror. Arts that bend reality like heated metal, spells that unravel the very fabric of existence, enchantments that bind souls across infinite planes.

Dimensional Manipulation

The art of folding space-time like origami, creating pockets of twisted reality where cause and effect dance to alien rhythms. I have taught my beloved to step through shadows that exist in seventeen dimensions simultaneously.

Soul Binding Rituals

Ancient ceremonies that link consciousness across the void. Our souls are bound with threads of crystallized moonlight and dragon's blood, ensuring we will find each other in every incarnation, every reality, every possible world.

Temporal Assassination

The ultimate Dark Brotherhood technique—killing someone before they were born, erasing them from the timeline itself. Together, we have perfected this art, leaving no trace save the whispered memory of what never was.

Warning

These magicks are not for the faint of heart or weak of will. They require sacrifices—of sanity, of innocence, of the comfortable illusions that keep mortals sleeping peacefully. Practice them at your own risk.

The Realm of Blackmarsh

Blackmarsh—or Argonia, as the natives call it—is a realm where nature itself seems to dream dark dreams. The very air thrums with ancient magicks, where Hist trees older than civilization whisper secrets in languages that predate speech itself.

This is no ordinary swampland. Here, the boundaries between the physical and spiritual worlds grow thin as morning mist. Ghosts walk openly among the living, spirits of long-dead Argonians seeking vengeance or redemption. The water itself pulses with otherworldly energy, capable of healing wounds or driving men mad with visions of cosmic truth.

Notable Locations

The Shadowscale Sanctuary

Hidden deep within the marsh, this ancient temple serves as the training ground for Argonia's most elite assassins. The walls themselves seem to absorb light, creating pockets of absolute darkness where death learns to dance.

The Hist Grove Eternal

A circle of twelve ancient Hist trees that have stood since the dawn of time. Their roots intertwine deep beneath the earth, creating a network of consciousness that spans the entire realm. Here, past and future converge in moments of perfect clarity.

The Crimson Pools

Waters that run red with more than rust—these pools are said to be the tears of Sithis himself, shed for those who die in service to the Void. Drinking from them grants visions of death, both past and future.
