Using a blend of Argonian, Murkmire, Tide-born, and Stone-Nest furnishings as well as generic named pieces, I imagined the home of well-travelled Argonians.
Each born a slave, their lives crossed during a skirmish, and with each others support they worked to positions of prominence and eventually won their freedom. Our home owners seeking to continue their cultural research and raise a clan familiar in all aspects of their culture, purchased Humblemud from a heavily indebted dark elf.
The Dunmer's widely boasted attempt to create a unique holiday home had bankrupted them, and they happily took the gold and tried to run. Unbeknown to the Argonians and other investors involved, a successful Black Sacrament had been performed by one of the Dunmer's debtor's, leaving the Argonians with no idea of the fate that was about to settle on Humblemud.
Thus began the convoluted involvement of Thunderboots and Sharp-as-Night.
