This article is about the region. For the Blackwood chapter, see Blackwood (chapter).

Straddling the great Niben River and extending east into the bogs of the Argonian homeland, Blackwood serves as the maritime gate to Cyrodiil—a valuable, if perilous, stretch of territory greatly prized by Khajiit, Argonians, and Imperials alike.

Notes

• Blackwood previously appeared in TES IV: Oblivion, although it only included the Cyrodilic territory of County Leyawiin. A portion of the area was also visited in the Dark Brotherhood DLC.
• Much of the Black Marsh area was originally planned to be the Adventure Zone version of Murkmire, but was later re-purposed into Blackwood.
