→The Hist of Umbriel: Pretty much all of the detail on the trees of the Gyre is from Lord of Souls
<noinclude>{{Lore Flora Trail}}[[File:ON-place-Hatching Pools.jpg|thumb|A Hist tree (ESO)]]</noinclude>
The {{Lore Link|Hist}} are a species of giant spore trees growing in the innermost swamps of [[Lore:Black Marsh|Black Marsh]]. [[Lore:Argonian|Argonians]] are known to have deep connections with the Hist, calling themselves "people of the root", and licking the leaking sap of their trunks in religious rites. Others claim the trees are, in fact, a sentient race, more ancient than all the races of man and mer.<noinclude>{{Ref|name=PGE3A|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Argonia}}}}
==Ancient Trees==
The Hist trees of Black Marsh, most say, were the original life forms on [[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]]. The Hist were considered bystanders of the war between the [[Lore:Ehlnofey|Ehlnofey]], but most of [[Lore:Realm of the Hist|their realm]] was destroyed as the war passed over it.{{Ref|{{Cite book|The Annotated Anuad}}}} It is believed that the Hist acknowledge [[Lore:Sithis|Sithis']] role as the original creator.{{Ref|{{Cite book|The Monomyth}}}} It is said that all Hist are connected at the root—they speak to each other and to the [[Lore:An-Xileel|An-Xileel]] (though some trees, like the city tree of {{Lore Link|Lilmoth}} in the early {{Lore Link|Fourth Era}}, may become isolated). In the Third Era, the Hist used their influence to call Argonians from across the Empire back to Black Marsh. Having foreseen the {{Lore Link|Oblivion Crisis}}, the Hist (through the An-Xileel) ordered the Argonians to assault the invading [[Lore:Daedra|Daedra]]. The Argonians poured into the Oblivion Gates with such ferocity that Dagon's lieutenants had to close them. This resulted in an astounding victory for the Argonians and led to the collapse of the Empire in Black Marsh as the Argonians turned to the An-Xileel.{{Ref|name=TIC|{{Cite book|The Infernal City}}}}
==The Hist of Umbriel==
A distinct group of the sentient trees were found on {{Lore Link|Umbriel}}. Like that floating island, they originated from a mysterious [[Lore:Realm of the Hist|realm of Oblivion]] and came to inhabit the [[Lore:Clavicus Vile's Realm|realm]] of [[Lore:Clavicus Vile|Clavicus Vile]]. In the early Fourth Era, these Hist were split from the realm by [[Lore:Umbra|Umbra]], becoming an integral part of the life cycle on the floating island of [[Lore:Umbriel|Umbriel]].
The Hist of Umbriel were responsible for producing many substances used in the island's kitchens. The trees were interconnected and played an important role in the recycling of souls on Umbriel; in one sense, they ''were'' Umbriel. They lived in the Fringe Gyre, an external area of Umbriel located around the edge of the island's surface, although their root system extended down into the lower subterranean levels of the island. They were thought to be drawn to Tamriel from the [[Lore:Void|Void]] in {{Year|4E 40}} by the Hist. [[Books:Annaïg Hoïnart|Annaïg Hoïnart]], a [[Lore:Breton|Breton]] who had infiltrated Umbriel and assimilated into the kitchen staff, planned to feed the roots of the Um-Hist poison and cripple Umbriel. [[Books:Mere-Glim|Mere-Glim]], Annaïg's [[Lore:Argonian|Argonian]] companion, felt a connection with the Um-Hist similar to that of the Hist, albeit quieter and vague. After he was reborn as an {{Lore Link|Umbriellian}}, Glim felt an even deeper connection, and foiled Annaïg's plot. Following the destruction of the second {{Lore Link|ingenium}}, the Um-Hist were responsible with teleporting the island of Umbriel to their mysterious realm. Following the death or departure of many Umbriellians from the grounded island, it is unknown how the Um-Hist adapted to their new environment.{{Ref|name=LoS|{{Cite book|Lord of Souls}}}}

==Notes==
* [[Lore:Pocket Guide to the Empire, 1st Edition/The Wild Region|The first edition of the Pocket Guide to the Empire]] mentions the Hist, though its description of them differs dramatically from that given by other sources. They are described as a relatively intelligent strain of Argonian; repulsive, but peaceful enough to be tolerated outside of Black Marsh. The Pocket Guide also makes reference to their "cherished spore-trees".
