The Kothringi were a race of tribal men that once inhabited the Black Marsh province. ^[1] This race of people are noted as having metallic skin ^[2] and "reflective faces." They generally preferred to go naked, although a few wore clothes when outside their native land. They appear to have worshipped a god named Z'en—a God of Toil—as well as Mara.

The Kothringi were eventually wiped out by the Knahaten Flu that started in 2E 560. ^[1]

Notable Members Edit

The only known member of the Kothringi Tribe was Zuuk, who was a servant of the Imperial mistress of Reman Cyrodiil.

Trivia Edit

• The ruins of their civilization is shown to Decumus Scotti in The Argonian Account, Book IV ^[3]
• It is known that at least some of the Kothringi were sailors, Varieties of Faith in the Empire, it says of the Bosmeri god Z'en that he is the "god of payment in kind. Studies indicate origins in both Argonian and Akaviri mythologies, perhaps introduced into Valenwood by Kothringi sailors." ^[4]
