We simply don't know much about them as they've gone extinct. I know. That's why I said the Kothringi and their fellows.

- WorshipsMeridia Like I said it is believe that they are all related to the Nedes. I primarily believe that the Nedes did not go that far south.

I also believe that the Cyrodiilics and other indigenous human peoples such as the Kothringi lot are truly indigenous, because I like to have some origin mysteries in my fancanon. But that is fancanon. There might be something out there disproving me.

- WorshipsMeridia The only theories in lore are that the Kothrigi are Nedes that adapted to their environment(Black Marsh) or that they are Nedes that interbred with Argonians. Not personally I can't seen how that second theory is possible. Firstly because Argonians are reptiles and lay eggs. Secondly, even if they used magic to somehow interbreed, how does reptile + human = metal human?

So personally I believe the first theory. But I think that magic was involved in the process. Since magic is the easiest way to change a race into another.

There as also theories on the Orma, they were blind just like the Falmer so many believe that they were Nedes that were experimented on by the Dwemer.
