    One theory about the Tsaesci: What if both accounts are true about their appearance, and a number of them are, in fact, were-cobras?!
    We already have were-versions of wolves, bears, sharks, and boars, so why not snakes? It could be something exclusive to Akavir, where things like wereboars seem exclusive to Tamriel, specifically High Rock. And it could be another transformation mechanic, if Bethesda ever wants to incorporate it.

      Then my question would be why isn’t there any in Tamriel. Especially if they visited it and even ruled parts of it for a time. My belief is that the description differs because their is believed to have been men on Akavir that were enslaved by the Tsaesci. These men could have been used at foot soldiers with Tsaesci officers. Making it confusing for those that fought them on which was and wasn’t Tsaesci.

      They are just another beast race probably. Seems like everything from that Land is pretty powerful. Dragons who keep getting beaten by the Snake people easily dominated Nords so that tells you how strong the Snake people are. They probably can move real fast and fluid like making very hard to fight.

    It's fun to think that the Tsaesci predicted alduins return and were seeking the dragonborn in Tamriel, skyrim to be more specific, to fulfill the prophecy.
    But they were way too soon and the prophecy was lost to the ages. Then a prisoner in skyrim fulfills the prophecy thousands of years later and restores the last remains of the Tseasci cultures influence in skyrim. And he couldn't have done it without the help of the blades. So even though the Tsaesci are unknown and forgotten, they still fulfilled their task.

      Martijn Bakker I could be wrong friend but wasn’t it the Nords that made the murial the ones that predicted it? Regardless if they were worried about a Dragonborn line saving Tamriel why would they have killed the emperor in the invading army (at least supposedly.) instead of worshipping him upon his arrival? It’d be fun to think that there are different ideologies on what should or shouldn’t be done in the case of Dragons for the Tsaesci. However my idea is that they just had a foreign idea for Dragonborn. As one with great power. That we later attributed to ones that could absorb dragon souls. Now that I think about it though supposedly some Tsaesci “ate” some of the dragons they enslaved. I wonder if it was just another part of cannibalism or if they were trying to “absorb” its soul like dragonborns or if it’s a metaphor for absorbing its soul.

    Alduin's wall, made by the Tsaesci themselves, depicts their encounter with Reman clearly. Spoiler, they depict themselves as humanoid bipeds wearing the ancient akiviri armor. Perhaps they had snake people with them, perhaps some of them turned into weresnakes as others have suggested, but the majority of them were bipedal humanoids. My guess is the "snake people" descriptions by some texts is just in reference to their armor, or their physical appearance being more snake like. It's like how real world ancient peoples may describe the Vikings as "Devilish wolves come from the sea", they weren't actually wolf people, it's metaphorical.

    I subscribe to the theory that the snake-like Tsaesci and the men of Akavir, whom I refer to as "the Akaviri", were two distinct races. People in both the canon and the fanbase often use the two names interchangeably which likely contributes to the confusion on the races' natures.
    The Akaviri were the native men of Akavir, and were likely the origin of the Legend of the Dragonborn. The Tsaesci enslaved and assimilated the Akaviri into their own culture as a slave race and used them as a source of labor and footsoldiers. The snakefolk likely allowed the Akaviri to practice their beliefs concerning the Dragonborn as a way of smoothing over their assimilation, and probably didn't put stock into the legends themselves.
    When the Tsaesci invaded Tamriel, they used the Akaviri as footsoldiers and cut their way across Skyrim before encountering Reman Cyrodiil at Pale Pass. Here, they were defeated and upon hearing his Voice, the Akaviri proclaimed him Dragonborn and swore themselves to him. The Tsaesci present were trapped, blocked off from escape and reinforcements, and had just witnessed their slave soldiers swear their loyalty to the man that had soundly defeated them. So they played along and joined the Akaviri in praising Reman, more as a means of self-preservation than anything.
    The Tsaesci themselves went on the be assigned positions of power within the Empire before ultimately being killed off and/or driven back to Akavir in later centuries, while the Akaviri men left behind blended into the native human populace and ultimately disappeared from Tamriel, leaving only their artifacts and some traces of their influence in various Tamrielic cultures.

    Race: Argonian/Vampire
    Armor: Full Blades Armor, Ring of Namira, any enchanted necklace
    Weapons: Duel-wield Dragonsbane and Harkon's Sword, or Dawn/Duskfang and Bloodthirst. Two-Handed players can use the Ebony Blade. For bows, use a Dragonbone Bow for distance kills while keeping Auriel's Bow and Bloodcursed Arrows in reserve to turn day to night when needed.
    Primary Skills: One-Handed (or Two-Handed; your choice) Archery, Heavy Armor, Smithing, Enchanting, Alchemy, Speech
    Playstyle: Scatters and/or disorients foes with arrows or shouts before aggressively charging in and either butchering them with blades soaked in crippling poisons, or turning foes against each other with shouts and frenzy effects before mopping up what's left. Suggested Shouts are Unrelenting Force, Storm Call, Soul Tear and Bend Will. Vampire Lord form kept in reserve for emergencies.
    Factions: Blades, Volkahar Clan, Dark Brotherhood, Imperial Legion
    Backstory:
    Growing up in a remote village in Black Marsh, the Tsaesci, had always been an inquisitive child, always wondering what was beyond the trees and waterways of his home. Like many Argonian youths, though, he had also been brought up to always be wary of outsiders by his elders; many were the cautionary tales of foolish children that had wandered away from the village, only to be snatched up by the red-eyed, gray-skinned monsters from the north, never to be seen again. Though this did little to encourage any feelings other than animosity for the various types of warmbloods in the world, his curiosity about the outside world still called.
    When he was beginning to come of age, during a rare visit from a traveling merchant, the Tsaesci had gotten his claws on a few books that would ignite within him an even greater urge to see what lay beyond. One was titled "Mysterious Akavir", which told of a land across the sea inhabited by many creatures, some not unlike his own kind. The others partially chronicled how some of these kin-creatures once commanded an entire empire of warmbloods. Though the merchant did not have the entire collection, he stated that many more such books had been written and were wildly available in the north, tempting the young Argonian's curiosity even more.
    By his twentieth year, the Tsaesci could not contain himself anymore: The Tsaesci left his village and headed northwest toward the Imperial heartland, partially to explore, but also to learn more of the snakemen that had ruled an empire. He practically inhaled books as he traveled, learning more and more about these lands and people beyond Black Marsh. Anything pertaining to Akavir was especially relished.
    By the time he reached the Imperial City, he found out that while his kind may not be openly oppressed by the mammals, they were hardly equals; for every human or elven noble there were many more beastfolk laborers and servatures. Despite his misgivings, he could not help but be impressed with what the mammals had created for themselves and as he wandered the city, he eventually found himself outside the Imperial Palace. Here he witnessed a small group of men clad in armor making their way toward the entrance. The design reminded him of pictures he had seen in one of the books he had gathered during his journey. Asking another observer, he learned these men were Blades, the Emperor's elite warriors, protectors and intelligence gatherers.
    His interest once again pieqed, he decided to learn more about these warriors. His investigations eventually led him to train under and join the Blades. He found himself well suited for the tasks expected of him: His natural thirst for knowedge and his ability to weedle it out of just about anyone made him adept at intelligence gathering, and his growing proficiency with blades made him one of the deadliest warriors of his rank. Though he still didn't fully trust the warmbloods he served and served with, the thrill of the job and access to so much Akaviri knowledge and history mad it worth it, and he continued to serve with the Blades for several years.
    Sadly, his bliss was not to last, as the onset of the Great War marked the beginning of the end for his order. By the time all was said and done, the weak-willed emperor the Blades had served threw away their lives with the signing of the White-Gold Concordant. Sensing what was to come, the Tsaesci left the life he had made for himself and laid low for the better part of five years. Though he entertained the notion of returning to Black Marsh, in the end he decided to be proactive and continue his research into Akavir, Thalmor-be-damned. He became a sellsword, and used his funds to further his investigations into the Dragon Land's influence on Tamriel. Eventually earning enough to buy a modest plot of land near the Cyrodiil/Black Marsh border, he settled down to continue his pursuits in peace.
    Eventually, his research turned up whispered rumors of a long lost Akaviri ruin tucked somewhere in the mountains of Skyrim, one of the few province he had never visited. Packing up his things, he headed north, though in an attempt to evade a Thalmor patrol near Bruma, he stumbled upon an Imperial ambush that had been lying in wait for Ulfric Stormcloak.
    Upon escaping Helgen, the Tsaesci will be both elated and paranoid: on one hand, he had seen a dragon. A dragon! Just like the ones the ancient Akaviri had battled in his books. On the other, he was now essentially stranded in a strange land crawling with Thalmor and Imperial Legion. That being said, his primary goal early on will be survival, and if that means gaining favor with the local mammals by doing quests, then so be it.
    As he does so, though, he comes to the grim realization that he isn't as young as he was when he was a Blade. He had slowed down in recent years, his wounds took longer to heal, his strength had waned. While his kind may have had a lot in common with the snakefolk of the east, there was one major difference: His kind weren't immortal. This realization will eventually lead him to join the Volkahar vampire clan to gain new strength and immortality. His new predatory disposition will also lead him to see the warmbloods in a new light. He will see the people of Skyrim, indeed all of Tamriel as livestock that need to be settled and calmed before their pointless struggles for dominance ravaged everything. They needed the guiding hand of a new eternal ruler, and will model himself after the Tsaesci potentates. The revelation that he is Dragonborn and thus has right of divine blood will only encourage this new outlook.
    He will use his status as a dragonslaying hero to get into the good graces of the Jarls, and will even join the Imperial Legion to snuff out the Stormcloak rebellion, an accomplishment that will act as a first stepping stone toward the throne. Of course, the pitiful, unworthy creature currently occupying that throne will have to be taken care of, and the Dark Brotherhood will be just the tool needed to do so.

    Also for a side note: if you look at the sides of Alduin’s Wall (not directly on the wall). There is a figure of an individual (could be Vivec or something else).

      Two: Slaughtered entire armies of Nords and Dragons, also a few Nedes, on their own turf. (Vampiric strength combined with Kenjutsu and Jujitsu) (combined with vampiric strength would be scary).
      Three: the last known contact with them seemed to be human like in appearance. (Disaster at Ionith).
      Four: The mentions of them in TES Online claims that they were mainly snake people.

    I understand that Akavir had 5 (six, if we consider dragons native to Akavir) races: Tsaesci, Ka'Po'Tun, Kamal, Tang Mo and the akaviri humans. The Dragonguard was composed of akaviri humans, actually, not Tsaesci. These humans fled from Akavir because the other races (the Tsaesci, mostly) were killing them by the thousands. After all, one should not mistook the akaviri for the Tsaesci, because they're very different. Despite this, it was a great video!

    Much like the Khajiit they appeared to have many forms. The son of Potentate Versidue-Shaie was clearly described using his serpentine lower body in his arena dual with the crown prince, the Potentate was slightly different, and some of the Akaviri had legs....They could've been a mixed force to begin with. The Tsaesci could have a trait whereas some are born with less serpent like aspects or even be able to switch between legs and a snake lower body.

      I doubt Bethesda will ever actually show them. But given the sources, I imagine the Tsaesci are something along the lines of FFXIV's Au Ra race--that is, a race of men from the Far East that have some distinctly reptile-like features (but are not like lamias or Argonians). Replace the Au Ra horns with a jaw that unhinges like a snake's, make the tail considerably longer and thicker, and give them more scales and slit-like pupils, and that's pretty close to how I had always imagined the Tsaesci.
      Just seems most likely, since multiple lore sources describe them as being very attractive (so I doubt they're too reptilian), and we also know theyre capable of breeding with the Tamrielic races of men (so I doubt their lower bodies are fully serpentine), but the fact they had some features likened to snakes is repeated a lot, and we know they had some scales if nothing else (too many accounts mentioning golden scales and stuff like "strangling their scaly necks")

    I think nobody knows how exactly the tsaeci are, because they are inspired by the yuan-ti, the snake people of D&D. Here, the snake people vary from greenish humans, to monstrous snake humans with 3 heads. So either the tsaeci are like that, and they have lesser tsaeci with more human-like features, and higher tsaeci with more snake-like features, or they pull off something similar to the wood elves wild hunt where they transform into monsters, and the tsaeci are scaly humans but they transform into giant snakes.

    "Snake-men". Perhaps there are ascended variants. Similar to the variation in the Khajit/Senche. Perhaps even so far as to call them the original brand of Lamia. Like, people that are descended from the beast-men and that are originated from Akavir. I am inclined to believe that -for the most part- they probably became humanoid and likely Asiatic as the equipment and some of the physical descriptions seems to imply. Perhaps only with some small pockets of only the most devout or fierce sharing a more physically snake-like appearance...?
