Black Marsh, unlike many of the other provinces, has not fared well in any sense of the word. All but two cities in their land have been conquered by the Aldmeri; one of those two, Gideon, is besieged from two different sides. The other, Archon, is utterly left alone solely due to the overwhelming presence of the Dark Brotherhood, who have declared their willingness to exercise overwhelming violence against any who cross them. The Argonians which live outside these two cities and who do not meet very specific requirements are nothing more than slaves to serve the Aldmeri.
The enslaved Argonians serve as domestic servants or as expendable infantry, and are considered as having no rights at all by the Dominion. If an enslaved Argonian can reach Gideon or Archon, they are considered free due to the fact that the Dominion either can't or won't seek them within those cities. Argonians may also flee the realm altogether, seeking Cyrodiil or some other non-Dominion locale.
The free Argonians of Gideon are not friendly, nor do they welcome everyone with open arms. Argonians in their walls must fight or work to earn their keep. It is by those laws that Gideon has remained unbreached in spite of two sieges being mounted against them at once. The free Argonians of Archon have no requirements other than to leave a letter in certain drop points when a Shadowscale enters the city.
In order for an Argonian to walk free and unhindered by the Dominion, they must show proof that they were born under the sign of the Shadow, and they must not be infirm and thus unfit for sneaking or combat.
