The {{Lore Link|Shadowscales}} are an order of {{Lore Link|Argonian}} assassins originating in {{Lore Link|Black Marsh}}. Argonians born under the sign of {{Lore Link|the Shadow}} are taken at birth and offered to the {{Lore Link|Dark Brotherhood}} where they are trained in the arts of stealth and assassination. Any Shadowscale who lives to come of age is accepted into the Dark Brotherhood as a full member of the family.{{ref|name=BTS|{{Cite book|Beware the Shadowscales}}}}{{ref|name=OBTeinaava|[[Oblivion:Teinaava|Teinaava]]'s dialogue in [[Oblivion:Oblivion|Oblivion]]}} They may also leave the Brotherhood and return to Black Marsh to serve the Argonian people.{{ref|Events of [[ON:Online|ESO]]}} They act with impunity there, and some serve as personal assassins to the King of Black Marsh.{{ref|name=SRVeezara|[[Skyrim:Veezara|Veezara]]'s dialogue in [[Skyrim:Skyrim|Skyrim]].}}{{ref|name=SRAOV|{{Cite book|Skyrim's Rule}}}}
Shadowscales follow the same {{Lore Link|The Five Tenets|five tenets}} traditionally followed by members of the Brotherhood,{{ref|name=BTS}} although they are a distinct set of rules. For example, a Shadowscale cannot kill a fellow Shadowscale even if they are not members of the Brotherhood. However, breaking a tenet of the Brotherhood invokes the {{Lore Link|Wrath of Sithis}}, and forgiveness is possible if the family member survives the encounter. If a Shadowscale breaks a tenet, it is viewed as treason and the perpetrator will be put to death. This is usually carried out by the {{Lore Link|Argonian Royal Court}}, who will send an unaffiliated assassin to carry out the execution.{{ref|[[Oblivion:Scar-Tail|Scar-Tail]]'s dialogue}}
Many Shadowscales were opposed to the formation of the {{Lore Link|Ebonheart Pact}} in the {{Lore Link|Second Era}}, with some even turning traitor and fleeing Black Marsh.{{ref|[[ON:The Gray Mire|The Gray Mire]] in ESO}} However, the Shadowscales fought on the Pact's side during the {{Lore Link|Aldmeri Dominion}} invasion of {{Lore Link|Shadowfen}} in {{Year|2E 582}} by liberating the town of {{Lore Link|Murkwater}}.{{ref|[[ON:Murkwater|Murkwater]] in ESO}}
With the closure of the training facility in {{Lore Link|Archon}}, and the death of the {{Lore Link|Veezara|last known living Shadowscale}} in {{Year|4E 201}}, it is possible that the Shadowscales have been entirely wiped out.{{ref|name=Skyrim|[[Skyrim:Dark Brotherhood#Quests|Events]] of Skyrim}}{{ref|name=CJ1|{{Cite book|Cicero's Journal - Volume 1}}}}<noinclude>
