Holy shit, this guy Elder Scrolls!
Just curious, where did you learn all of that lore from exactly? Was it purely from the quest lines and game lore books? Or was it an external source of any kind?
If you're looking for more ES lore check out fudgemuppet and camelworks on youtube, sometimes I'll listen to those instead of podcasts
You can find some of it spread thinly throughout the main games and on the wiki but by far the largest source of mostly-canonical written lore is from the Elder Scrolls Online which contains tons of related quests and 7,012 ingame lore-books of which I have only read a small fraction of.
The Hist and Argonians I think are just one of those fascinating pieces of fantasy fiction that a great many people have made entire video essays about.
EDIT: Note that ESO chronologically takes place during the Planemeld and before the Oblivion crisis, so you won't find any of that lore in there except for the bits as they happen.
