The Eye of Argonia is a treasured artifact described as the "priceless king's jewel of ancient Black Marsh".[1]

Little is known of the eye, but it has captured the imagination of treasure hunter's throughout all of Tamriel as to what it is capable of.[2]:21 Some theories included this invaluable gem being a key the "lost city of Black Marsh",[3] or that it could serve as a gateway to undiscovered lands.[2]:21

At some point during the Interregnum of the Second Era Lark of Rosgard, a mysterious masked thief sought to obtain the Eye.[2]:21 Years later Cyrus the Redguard and the Cyro-Nordic captain Tobias both wished to attain the prized artifact as well, although it's unknown if either of them ever succeeded in doing so.[3][4] An archeologist and author by the name of Rolard Nordssen aspired to claim the fabled eye, a potential accomplishment which he considered even greater than his prior feats.[5] Circa 3E 427, the Nerevarine mentioned the legendary jewel as a means to cover for his true intentions to infiltrate the chambers of the Common Tongue press printers.[6] There exists dubious tales about the jewel's discovery.[UOL 1][UOL 2]
