Keenra the Innkeeper

[Argonian biology and lore: Enigmatic and intelligent, the Argonians are experts at guerrilla warfare, and their natural abilities suit their swampy homeland, Black Marsh. They have developed immunities to the diseases that have doomed many would-be explorers in the region, and they are capable of easily exploring underwater locations due to their ability to breathe underwater. Argonians make proficient thieves, due to their increased lockpicking and sneaking skills.

Unlike the citizens of Skyrim, who prefer to marry using an Amulet of Mara, some Argonians adhere to their native marriage traditions. In Black Marsh, it is customary to present a lover with an Argonian Wedding Band, which is crafted by the courting member. Each ring is unique and has personal meaning to the creator and the recipient.

Argonians have unique advantages due to their natural water-breathing ability. This gives them an all-terrain versatility in an area that other races need magic, potions, or enchanted gear to traverse.

In Windhelm, Argonians are sequestered from the predominantly Nordic population, and are forced to live at the Argonian Assemblage, located at the city docks. After the mass exodus of Dunmer and Argonian peoples to Windhelm, the citizens became suspicious, worrying that the immigrants would influence or otherwise dilute their culture, and so forced them into segregation. Largely, this extreme behavior was inspired by the political confrontation between the Empires of Tamriel and the rulers of Skyrim. However, this eventually just turned into blatant racism.

Despite the estrangement between the Nords and the Argonians, they are more respected and tolerated in Skyrim than other foreign immigrants due to their beneficial contributions to Nord industries. This beneficial assimilation to Skyrim's economy has helped some Argonians (such as those found in Riften) ingratiate themselves to Skyrim's aloof society.

Argonians lay eggs, but they’ll only do it near the Hist tree.

Argonians have gills on their necks and are covered in scales. Argonians also have very sharp reptilian teeth lining their mouths, which, if they are unarmed, can be used as an effective weapon. When swimming, they use their tails to propel themselves as they glide through the water. An Argonian's tail is also used for balance, which gives them an extra advantage in certain situations. This is one of the many reasons Argonians are effective as thieves and assassins. Despite female Argonians being also portrayed to have breasts, they might just be big bumps on their chests with no actual mammalian-like functionality. Argonians have a wide variety of cranial features such as fins, feathers, ridges, spines, spikes, or horns.

When Argonian names are translated from Jel, they tend to follow either a "adjective-noun" (ex. Big Head, Grey-Throat, Nine-Toes) or a "verb-adverb(s)-noun" structure (ex. Hides His Eyes, Travelling-New-Woman, Scouts-Many-Marshes). Traditionally, names are given after their Hist-saplicking ceremony called "Naming Day.”

Keenra is an argonian woman with a common green-scaled body and a crown of horns circling her head. Due to her genetic deformity, making her very well endowed in her hips and breasts, she lost the ability to be stealthy. So she was in charge of guarding and nurturing the eggs laid by the hist tree. During her naming day, she was given the name Guarding-Womb to celebrate her contribution and noble efforts in the tribe.

Years later, when all the eggs hatched, she decided to become a nomad. While the village was sad to see her start her new journey, they understood her work was finished for now. She dawned a shawl and brown robes as she headed towards Skyrim to find a new life for herself.

Keenra made her living as an innkeeper in the upper part of Skyrim near Solitude. Due to her naturally warm, generous, and humble personality, the Honeydew Inn brought in more than enough coin for her to be comfortable. Although the snow makes it so she has to double up on her robes to stay warm enough for the harsh winter conditions.

The genetic deformity she stopped her from being an average lithe argonian woman, and instead gave her a plump and fertile body. Her thighs became plump as her breasts swelled to an H cup, a size never before seen with any argonian. No tribe members mocked her and instead declared it as divine intervention, thinking the Aedra and or Daedra sent her to be a guardian of the Hist tree.

Keenra isn’t a good fighter, so she hires bodyguards to keep her safe when she needs to go to Solitude to resupply her inn with mead and meat. Although she also has tribe members who send her authentic Argonian wine. This gives her a unique draw when people come to her inn. She actually started an inn for two reasons: the first one is because it reminds her of how she guarded the eggs at the base of the Hist tree, so she makes sure to stay awake during the night to keep an earhole out for any danger, and the second is because she feels bad for the men and women who are cold and weary from adventuring in the cold, harsh climate.

During her time as a guardian, she actually would think of the eggs as her own, but alas, she never found the right one. She hopes that one day she will be able to find her soulmate and be able to lay her eggs at the base of the very Hist tree she protected.
