I posted something similar in other discussions, but I think it deserves its own discussion. I am an argonian loyalist so I'll start by argueing for it. The An-Xileel according to canon sources is the only faction actually gaining ground during the events of ES5 (besides whichever faction the Dragonborn sides with). They pushed back Mehrunes Dagons forces exceedingly better than any other faction besides the godlike hero of kvatch in cyrodil, actually storming the Oblivion gates and overwhelming the daedric forces. It's been argued that Argonians are unorganized fighters, but in order to storm Oblivion gates with such force that the Dremora Lieutenants close them, they must have a strong organized military. Also they have successfully invaded Morrowind (I know theyre severely weakened after the volcanic eruption). Invading another nation would require at least some organization.

Thats my thesis anyway. Feel free to argue, comment and otherwise raise hell about this. All hail Argonia!
