The Hist

==Summary==
The Hist are a species of gigantic spore-trees that reside and grow within the swamps of Black Marsh. Far from ordinary trees, the Hist are in fact sapient, incredibly ancient and mysterious entities older than the Mundus itself, thought to hail either from the Twelve Worlds of Creation from the time before Time, or from the Void of Oblivion, wherein they had established their own realm before settling on Nirn. Though they may appear as individual entities, all Hist Trees are in fact part of a single, unified hive-mind which permeates throughout all of Nirn's nature, but manifests itself through the Trees of Black Marsh, all connected through immense roots that stretch all the way into Nirn's core, and into other, distant planes.
Though completely alien to all else that lives on Nirn, the Hist possesses a deep, almost symbiotic connection to the Argonians of Black Marsh, who revere the ancient trees as the spiritual guides and progenitors. The Hist are in fact the creators of the People of the Root, and directly influence Argonian biology, psychology, and even personality through their intrinsic connection. Furthermore, the souls of all Argonians originate from the Hist at birth, and return to the Hist at death so that they may reincarnate to a new life in an endless cycle. The Trees of Argonia are also unbound by the Elder Scrolls themselves, existing outside of causality and perceiving Time in a completely non-linear fashion, perceiving past, present and future not as a narrative of succeeding events, but as a single moment that is always happening simultaneously.

The Dream of the Hist, wherein the Souls of all Argonians are guided to upon death, is described as a void of pure darkness devoid of any form of reference, where time and space are meaningless illusions and past and future no longer exist. Capable of warring against the Jills in the Ninth Era. Referred to The Vestige as a “Small One”, and showed complete control over their mind and soul)

Perceives all of Time simultaneously, and every cause and effect is part of a single moment that is always happening all at once to the Hist, whose thought-processes are described as completely Alien and incomprehensible to all living creatures on Nirn, to the extent it is considered erroneous to call them "intelligent" beings in the first place
