Mod Description
In Argonian culture, it is believed that their souls must reunite with the Hist tree upon death.
Now, you can ensure that every Argonian who falls in Skyrim (and Beyond) is granted this sacred journey.
The Argonian Burial Caravan, located near Riften, offers you the chance to collect Argonian bodies and transport them for burial.
To participate, purchase the mystical "Pocket Coffin" from the caravan.
By casting the spell "Send to Coffin" on any dead Argonian, their body will be transported into a pocket dimension—a cold, airless void where time does not exist.
Bring these coffins to the caravan and share what you know about the deceased.
After some time caravan will travel to Argonia and back.
You’ll receive a thank-you rewards form families.
These rewards vary, ranging from gold to unique Argonian armour, weapons, alkohol, toys and more.
You can also bring Argonian remains (bones, skulls) for minor rewards, though these offer smaller returns.
Lore
Return to the Hist is deeply rooted in Argonian culture and lore, made with great respect for the traditions of the Saxhleel people.
According to Argonian belief, all Argonians must return to Black Marsh to reunite with the Hist tree upon death, ensuring their spiritual connection is maintained.
This mod offers players the opportunity to honor this sacred journey, giving Argonian NPCs a proper farewell.
Special thanks to the YouTube channels ItsTimebomb and Imperial Knowledge for their in-depth explorations of Argonian lore, which greatly influenced the creation of this mod. For more on Argonian culture, check out the linked videos in the Video tab.
Where to find them?
You don't have to look as after around a week in game if you don't find them they will send you a letter via courier and quest with marker will start.
You can also find this letter in some Argonian related places (some taverns, warehouses, etc).
But if you want find them asap than just follow same road as from Riften to Border with Morowind. (Fort dawnguard).
If still no luck check out this place:

Future Plans
If this mod will be liked enough to give me motivation for an update, I have some ideas how to improve it's epieience:
1. Add a short burial scene in Argonia when player will take a part in the ceremony.
If fallen Argonian was someone close to the player, like suppose or follower with high relationship.
2. Add actual Caravan animation when travel using Animated carriage mod
3 and 4. Add more items, mod items and mod NPC support.
