The Morag Tong

The Morag Tong are an organisation of assassins they were formed by the Deadra Mephala to aid the Chimer. They practice the celebration of murder in the name of Mephala. They favour the stealth skills of Acrobatics, Illusion, Light Armor, Short Blade, Sneak and Marksman. The organization is entirly legal in the province of Morrowind, unlike the Dark Brotherhood.

History
The guild started as a way for Chimer to defeat their enemies without engaging in open warfare, practicing secret assassination and murder. Since the change from Chimer to Dunmer the Tong has increased in strenght and standing. The guild became a legally recognised guild in Morrowind, allowing them to print Honorable Writs of Execution which allow the bearer to legally kill the person mentioned without becoming a wanted criminal.

The Tong may have in their early beginnings worshipped Sithis, the Serpent. However they now exclusively worship the Deadra Mephala, The Webspinner.

Whilst the Guild is only considered legal in the province of Morrowind, it is not easy to escape them, the guild maintains a large network of infomants and contacts allowing them to track and kill targets across all of Tamriel.

The Tong resent that they are seen by a lot of Dunmer as glorified middle-men, honor bound to accept any contract so long as the price is right, they themselves maintain that they up hold the ancient Dunmeri laws.

The Dark Brotherhood was formed by Morag Tong members who left the Tong wanting more money and glory. The Tong and The Brotherhood have been fighting ever since.

Holdings
The Morag Tong have a guild hall in Raven Rock, that contains a shrine to Mephala

Military
The Morag Tong are the upper-class assassins of Morrowind this is reflected in their troops. The sons of Dukes and dignitaries can afford better equipment than his Dark Brotherhood counterpart, even the less fortunate members of the Guild are cared for they are supplied with weapons and armor from the Armories of Tong. This is not cheap however and whilst they are well equipped their numbers are lower than they would be if they recruited any applicants they received. Their troops are not well suited to open warfare and they prefer to do battle in the shadows. The guild will not engage in open warfare and their services can only be acquired by a few privileged members of society, the only contracts they operate on are officially sanctioned Honorable Writs of Execution, this means they are very proud of their standing and will not accept contracts that they believe to be dishonorable.
