Online:Blackguards

The Blackguards are an outlaw group heavily involved in the Argonian artifact trade through Margus Derius. They also have a large presence throughout Murkmire, where they have recently been abducting travelers on the road for unknown reasons.

The gang was originally formed by Naga inmates back when Blackrose Prison was still operational and ran by the Imperials. Over time however, following Drakeeh the Unchained taking over, they have welcomed members of all races into their ranks.
