The Kothringi are a silver-skinned[1] tribal people indigenous to Black Marsh. Once considered the only humans native to Tamriel, they are now known to have shared the continent with many other tribal groups. The last of the Kothringi were supposedly exterminated by the Knahaten Flu that started in 2E 560,[2] although some of the infected fled on a ship westward, away from Tamriel, never to be seen again.[3]

Little detail is known about the Kothringi. They generally preferred to go naked, although a few wore clothes when outside their native land.[1] They appear to have worshipped a god named Z'en—a God of Toil—[4] as well as Mara.[OOG 1] The Empress Tavia, wife of Reman III, the last ruler of the Reman Dynasty, had a Kothringi knight named Zuuk with whom she conspired to assassinate her husband.[1]
