"Traveling down the trade routes into the heart of Elsweyr, the plague decimated the Khajiit, forcing the survivors into roles they did not choose. Thus was the province turned from sixteen states to only two: Pa'alatiin and Ne Quin-al, more commonly known by their Cyrodilic names of Pellitine and Anequina." Pocket guide to the Empire 3rd edition

The Limothiit may have been one of the 16 kingdoms that was wiped out by the plague. It's possible, but like I said, since the Lilmothiit live(d) in Black Marsh, it seems likely that they had similar immunities (to disease and poison) to the immunities of the Argonians, simply in order to continue living in that environment. It's also important to note that the Lilmothiit did live in Black Marsh and not Elsweyr, so the "16 kingdoms" thing is irrelevant. They could not have been in any of those kingdoms at the time of the outbreak. In addition, the Lilmothiit are/were a wandering race and I doubt that they would have settled down in a kingdom. However, I still think that this is a valid point--they could have died then.
