< Arena: Places

The world of Arena contains several important places. Every location except those from the main quest (those listed below, plus the Imperial Dungeons) is generated randomly when you first enter it. Thus, every newly started game is different, and maps or walkthroughs cannot be provided for any randomly generated locations. In total, there are more than four hundred cities and dungeons, plus their surroundings and "outside" dungeons.

Main Quest LocationsEdit

ProvincesEdit

There are eight provinces, each with eight cities, in which you can start after leaving the Imperial Dungeons. They are as follows:

Black MarshEdit

 
Annotated map of Black Marsh

Black Marsh is a dense swampland region of southeastern Tamriel, home to the reptilian humanoid race of Argonians and a race of sapient trees known as the Hist. Mer refer to the region as Argonia, named after an ancient battlefield. The Argonians do not have a word for their homeland in their native language, in part because they do not consider it a singular nation. A member of the Argonian Gee-Rusleel tribe once used the wide-swamp gesture alongside the word kronka-thatith (roughly meaning "everything-egg") to describe the region, which is probably the closest non-Jel speakers will ever get in the way of a "true name" for the region. Many Argonians who live there struggle with the concept of it being a "province", as there is so much varied difference in each part of Black Marsh.

The Argonians thrive in the foreboding swamps of Black Marsh, a lush and threatening land teeming with poisonous plants and violent predators. The region's tropical climate lends its plants the capacity to overturn all attempts to cultivate them. Foreign agricultural, colonial, and commercial ventures beyond the slave-trade have met with abject failure. The native Argonians organize themselves on the tribal level with success and efficiency, and were only loosely integrated into the ruling Empire when Cyrodiilic Emperors deigned to lay claim to the land.

Aside from the Argonians, Black Marsh is host to a slew of other sapient peoples. The human inhabitants of Black Marsh (Imperial settlers from the Cyrodiilic Empire notwithstanding) include the Horwalli, the Yespest, and the silver-skinned Kothringi. The Orma, who are predisposed to blindness, are another Mannish race that inhabits the marsh. The serpent-bodied Lamias and the vulpine Lilmothiit (the latter of which lived along the southern coasts) are notable instances of humanoid and semi-humanoid races that live in the region. The Kothringi and the Lilmothiit were driven to extinction by the Knahaten Flu.
