I doubt theres anything about the way the argonians delt with the oblivion crisis in the games. The point of view that you recieve in the book is from an argonian in black marsh, so he probably knows what happened. But like I said what happened in morrowind is part of Mere-Glims account of the whole situation. Also if the argonians didnt actually have the power to withstand the invasion, and counted on another group to dispell the daedra, I doubt they would have the power to take on all of mournhold, and the telvani wizards.

I didn't spell check this. ^

Let's point out that Morrowind was basically destroyed at the time, vulcan erupted, south border cracked with swamps taking the scene, ash and fire in the north and in Vvardenfell, in sum thousands dying, the Dunmer had no standing army, so the Argonian invansio was a surprise attack in the middle of a cataclysm, it's as if Mexico decided to attack the south of the U.S.A after the hurricane Katrina, not honorable but pretty effective.

Mehrune's force is endless, his army is made of immortals, I mean Cyrodill had the main defense regarding the Imperial Troops and everything and you could clearly see that if Martin Septim hadn't sacrificed himself there would be no hope, when you learn about the daedra you see that they cannot truly die, so how come our scaly friends were able ro detain a force that was bound to conquer all of Nirn? An army whose lowliest soldier couldn't truly die?

Doesn't it sound just like the Thalmor advertisement? The way I see it's pretty damn likely that they got wrecked as every other living being in Tamriel yet stood they ground as better as they could and when Martin managed to summon Akatosh and exile Mehrunes that faction from Black Marsh started to say they had made Mehrunes' army bend their knees. Each of your paragraphs get a number, 1, 2, and 3.

1. Yeah, good point.

2. The daedra are possibly immortal, when they die their soul or whatever is sent back to oblivion, until they can form a new body. Sorta like Sauron from LOTR. Also the argonians were able to overpower the daedra most likely by their sheer numbers, and the use of hist sap. The hist's sap can be modified to do different things, by the hist or someone else. In Oblivion we learn ingesting hist sap sends everyone but argonians into a blood lust state, but they modified the sap so that argonians were effected in the same way. So most likely the argonians with help from the hist became crazy, blood thirsty argonians, and fought with such ferocity that the daedra couldn't withstand their might. Something like berserkers from norse literature.

3. I see where you're coming from with this stuff. But I still don't think they got wrecked like everyone else.
