Black Marsh is one of the nine provinces you can visit in Arena. It is the homeland of the Argonians and thus the starting location for Argonian characters. Situated in the southeast corner of Tamriel, the northern half of the province is grassland while its southern half is swampland. It borders Morrowind to the north and the Imperial Province to the northwest.

During the Main Quest, you will travel to Stormhold and the Vaults of Gemin, as well as locate the seventh piece of the Staff of Chaos in Murkwood, the dark forest that ever moves, deep in the swamps in the heart of the province.

The dungeons containing the maps leading to the Ebony Mail and the Ring of Khajiit are located in this province, with each dungeon discovered during their respective artifact quests.
