We have a deal, friend.

We have already come to an agreement... Or have you forgotten how I agreed to support you for Hortator?

I have heard of you, of course. I believe we could work together. Yes, the more I consider the possibilities, the more I believe we would make excellent partners.

You make a good argument, but the truth is that I don't like you or trust you. How could I know that you would understand how our business operates? Or that you would work towards a Morrowind free of Imperial rule?

Come back when you're ready to make an offer.

Yes, I see what you mean. I respect your methods, %PCRace. Until I learn something equally interesting about you, I would be willing to work together.

If you have nothing, you are nothing. Get out of my sight, n'wah.

So you've come to bargain, have you? What have you got?

So you've come to bargain, have you? What have you got?

Alas, you seem to have been expelled from House Hlaalu. When you make amends, speak with me again.

Use your rank and influence to help the people of Vvardenfell.

I was going to ask you to speak with my brother, Orvas Dren, but now you bring me news of his death. If he is truly dead, there is nothing to stop me from naming you the next Grandmaster of House Hlaalu.

Yes, I heard that you were the Hortator of House Hlaalu. You could not hold that rank if Orvas Dren did not wish it. Since you already have some agreement with Orvas Dren, I will name you the new Grandmaster of House Hlaalu.

You have won my brother's support. I do not wish to know how you have done this. I only hope you will use House Hlaalu and your new connections in the Camonna Tong with wisdom and a touch of compassion. I will name you the new Grandmaster of House Hlaalu.

As I said, if you want to be Grandmaster of House Hlaalu in anything but name, you must reach an accommodation with my brother, Orvas Dren.

The Camonna Tong is the traditional Thieves Guild of Morrowind. It predates the Empire's Thieves Guild, but it is more brutal and takes every chance to interfere with the Empire. If you are to be the Grandmaster of House Hlaalu in anything but name, you must reach an accommodation with my brother, Orvas Dren, who leads the Camonna Tong. Spare his life if you can.

The Camonna Tong is Morrowind's native criminal syndicate. They're tough and ruthless, and have connections in the higher ranks of House Hlaalu. The Camonna Tong compete directly with the Thieves Guild for control of illegal trade, and Camonna Tong will not tolerate competition. Compared with the Camonna Tong, the Thieves Guild is relatively decent and honorable -- certainly less brutal. They don't accept outlanders as members. Forget about it.

They say someone hit the Camonna Tong at the Council Club. Hard. Nobody seems to know what happened. Probably the Thieves Guild.

The Camonna Tong is the old criminal syndicate here in Morrowind. And, as everyone around here knows, there's a gang war between the Thieves Guild and the Camonna Tong. In Balmora, the Camonna Tong hangs out over at the cornerclub called the Council Club. Watch yourself if you go in there. They're not very nice people.

They say someone hit the Camonna Tong at the Council Club. Hard. And the guards SAY they're very concerned, and they're following all leads... But somehow they don't seem very sincere. And Larrius Varro? Legion Champion at Fort Moonmoth? He's been quoted as saying, 'I swore an oath to stop corruption, but it seems the gods have seen fit to fulfill my oath for me.' And you know what's funny? Someone said they saw YOU talking to General Varro several times recently. A coincidence? I don't think so.

As you probably know, the Camonna Tong is the old criminal syndicate here in Morrowind. And, as EVERYONE around here knows, the Thieves Guild is at war with the Camonna Tong. We're the new gang in town, and the Camonna Tong want us to be the dead-and-gone gang. If you are looking for the Camonna Tong, their Balmora hangout is the cornerclub called the Council Club.

They own this town. All except %Name and Gols. They wish %Name would leave. They will not get their wish.

I'm afraid I don't know much about blacksmithing. Sorry.

I believe this conversation is over.

I've heard they're quite nice if you get to meet them.

I stay out of their business and they stay out of mine.

They are the ones who lead this town. Where I come from, we do not hide our family ties. I am paid to smelt steel, not to be discreet.

I don't get wrapped up in that stuff. Never have, and thanks to my retirement, never will.

Yes, you've figured it out, excellent work. The Tong own all of Menaan and know everything that goes on here.

I don't trust you enough to talk about that.

END TR MAP 4 MENAAN

The Camonna Tong is the traditional Thieves Guild of Morrowind. It predates the Empire's Thieves Guild, but it is more brutal and takes every chance to interfere with the Empire. If you are to be the Grandmaster of House Hlaalu in anything but name on Vvardenfell, you must reach an accommodation with my brother, Orvas Dren, who leads the Camonna Tong here. Spare his life if you can, but know that doing so will irrevocably align yourself with his organization.

As I said, if you want to be Grandmaster of House Hlaalu in anything but name on Vvardenfell, you must reach an accommodation with my brother, Orvas Dren.

You have won my brother's support. I do not wish to know how you have done this. I only hope you will use House Hlaalu and your new connections in the Camonna Tong with wisdom and a touch of compassion. I will agree to support your bid to become Grandmaster of House Hlaalu.

Yes, I heard that you were the Hortator of House Hlaalu. You could not hold that rank if Orvas Dren did not wish it. Since you already have some agreement with Orvas Dren, I will support your bid to become the new Grandmaster of House Hlaalu.

I was going to ask you to speak with my brother, Orvas Dren, but now you bring me news of his death. If he is truly dead, there is nothing to stop me from supporting your bid to become the next Grandmaster of House Hlaalu.

The Camonna Tong is an ancient and powerful Dunmer institution. It has taken on a hard stance against all things foreign and Imperial, holding to what they describe as traditional ideals. This is to say that they prefer to retain their power, and consider Imperial law to stand in the way of that, while Imperial opposition has won them many allies in Morrowind.

I am prohibited from doing business until you make amends.

They're a social club turned criminal syndicate who share a lot of members with House Hlaalu. They suggest a complete severing of ties with the Empire and a hope for a complete expulsion of outlanders, including you. They used to be led by Orvas Dren and Mervis Llarel, but both are now dead by your hand. Their power has been greatly diminished, at least in the short term.

They're a social club turned criminal syndicate who share a lot of members with House Hlaalu. They suggest a complete severing of ties with the Empire and a hope for a complete expulsion of outlanders, including you. Somehow you've convinced Orvas Dren of your worth, so perhaps they're turning over a new leaf. Most likely not.

They're a social club turned criminal syndicate who share a lot of members with House Hlaalu. They suggest a complete severing of ties with the Empire and a hope for a complete expulsion of outlanders, including you. They are led by Orvas Dren, who operates out of his villa on Vvardenfell. His lieutenant, Mervis Llarel, lives here in Narsis.

They like to think of themselves as Morrowind's foremost criminal syndicate. But they're too narrow-minded, too zealous in their hatred of outlanders to take advantage of all the rest of the scum lying around this city. Here in Narsis, they run a black market beneath the Grand Bazaar and often hide out in the sewers of the Council Quarter. They also control the big apartment buildings in St. Veloth's Quarter -- the Towers.

The Tong are the local criminal syndicate. The old gang in town. They have a lot of power in Narsis, and are most of the reason we hide in the sewers here.

While they're tragically intolerant of outlanders, they happen to be a very industrious group, and so they own many establishments throughout Narsis -- on the Waterfront and in the St. Veloth Quarter, especially. As a result, we do a significant amount of dealing with them. I'm sure you have your own opinion of their conduct. Rest assured that I sympathize with you. As long as you're on official Hlaalu business and don't interfere too heavily with their work, I promise you our complete protection.

We're a society of honorable Dunmer businessmen. And we're tired of ignorant fools like you who get involved in our business and think they know what's best for our people.

The Camonna Tong is Morrowind's largest commercial enterprise. It has been in these lands for ages untold, it has many friends in high places, and it was once the Ja-Natta Syndicate's primary foe in Narsis. But the Tong has lost its grip on the city. The Camonna Tong's great men have fled Narsis for Vvardenfell's greener pastures; Mervis Llarel, the best man left behind, is utterly defeated. Perhaps Orvas Dren and his men will return one day. Until then, the Syndicate consolidates.

The Camonna Tong is Morrowind's largest commercial enterprise. Having been in this land for ages untold, it has made many friends in high places and been the Ja-Natta Syndicate's primary foe since it came to Narsis. But the Tong's grip on the city is slipping. As long ago this one predicted would happen, the Camonna Tong's great men have fled Narsis for Vvardenfell's greener pastures; they leave behind a power vacuum. Mervis Llarel believes he can fill it. The Boss will prove him wrong.

You're expelled, %PCName. Make amends and then we can talk about your work.

They're thugs and murderers who'll callously spend human life for a few coins. You'd think we'd get along. But they're stuck in the past, living for a country that died over four centuries ago. They also aren't too fond of The Boss moving his operations west, or getting their customers hooked on greydust.

We're in the dragon's lair, %PCRank. It can't get much hotter than this, and we have to behave accordingly. Your success in the casino doesn't change that. Avoid any open confrontations. Try to keep the Guild's presence in the theater a secret at all costs. Protect it with your life, if it comes to it.

They hold an iron grip over this city. They're so intertwined with the systems that the Hlaalu have built up, you can barely tell them apart anymore.

Eh. Can't say I'm too interested in the ideas they're peddling. The only way you could believe that Dunmer are somehow superior to other races would be if you had never set foot outside of Morrowind.

They've graciously allowed me in to patch up holes in the sewer tunnels they apparently call home. I'll get out of here as quickly as I can, before they change their mind.

Everyone says they hate outlanders, but so what? I hate most outlanders too! Just learn to speak their language, and you can get along with them fine.

An outlander who wants to talk about the Camonna Tong? Are you sure that's wise? If you've run afoul of the Tong, I advise you to leave Narsis while you still have two good legs to walk on. Instead of bothering the Narsis Watch with whatever it is you wanted to report.

There have been problems in the past with lower-ranking members pestering some of my tenants, but we have reached an amiable solution. The Camonna Tong keeps the streets of St. Veloth Quarter safe, and as compensation I have slightly raised rents and donate the surplus to their organization.

The Camonna Tong is Morrowind's native criminal syndicate, known for their hatred to outlanders and brutal disregard of human life. Here in Shipal-Sharai, they have a base in the old mine's warehouse. We'd like to come down hard on them, but the commander wants evidence, and the Hlaalu want excuses to look the other way.

The filth of this city. Because of them, you need to be careful not to venture into some parts of Narsis. They hate us outlanders and we're the usual targets of their crimes. From what I heard, they hold a lot of power in these parts. I'd say you better stay away from the Fortuna.

They know exactly what to do with n'wahs like you.

I know several people in the Camonna Tong with their hearts in the right place. But I can't get behind the organization itself. I haven't heard a good explanation for how selling skooma is supposed to restore the glory of Resdayn.

They're a smuggling group with a very particular view of outlanders. Like you.

For all the Camonna Tong's faults, you've shown me they clearly have the correct view of outlanders.

My husband would be very valuable to them. He's been fishing for so long that the guards no longer bother to search his cargo. I have no doubt that the Tong would use him until they push their luck too far and he takes the fall.

They're vile thugs who openly flaunt their disregard for the law. I want nothing to do with them.

I've never had any problems with them. Never.

The Camonna Tong is one of the native Morrowind criminal organizations. They are violent and fiercely territorial, especially when it comes to outlanders like us.

We are proud of our heritage and of our ancestors. I fight to defend Morrowind, so that by the time my children reach my age, Almsivi willing, there will still be any of it left.

We are a fraternity of reasonable Dunmer who think that the affairs of Morrowind should be managed by the people of Morrowind, not by a decrepit old man half a world away and his armies of butchers and bureaucrats.

If you've come here to ask me about the Camonna Tong, you either know nothing or you already know too much, outlander.

Ugh, don't remind me. I should have known that it was a mistake to let an outlander negotiate with the Camonna Tong.

I can imagine that some of the Camonna Tong's members will have reservations about an outlander joining the Temple. But most are upstanding members of the community and devout Temple followers, and tending to their spiritual needs is part of your duties. Conduct yourself with honor and mind your manners, and I'm sure they will return the courtesy.

Why is our brotherhood needed? It's simple. Just look at the gaudy, gargantuan manors the outlanders have built for themselves on the west side of Bal Foyen, while the native Dunmer are being pushed out. I bet you didn't even know there used to be a Temple hospice where the Imperial Commission now stands, did you? Disgraceful. This destruction is what we oppose, outlander.

I hear some mad fetcher murdered Orvas Dren. He was getting soft anyway. Over here we won't go down without a fight.

I hear you, or someone going by the same name as you, struck a deal with Orvas Dren. But this isn't Vvardenfell, outlander. The big bosses down south have made no deals.

What we think and what we do is honestly none of your business, outlander.

I don't think you have good intentions asking questions like that, outlander. Are you expecting me to say something outrageous or incriminating? Something along the lines of 'I wish I could kill every single one of you damned outlanders', perhaps? Tsk, tsk. We are not criminals. That's what the Thieves Guild are.

We're just a society of like-minded sons and daughters of Resdayn, who hate seeing their ancestral lands destroyed by the Imperial Occupation.

I have heard that you claim to be the Nerevarine. I am not sure what to think about this, but I do not trust you, and I will not give you any duties.

You have broken our rules and have been expelled. If you make amends, I can speak with you about your duties.

I was no minor member of the Camonna Tong. I commanded others and answered to few. Why did I leave? I realized I was tired of the infighting, the greed, and how pointless it all was. When I heard of the Monastery of St. Aralor, I saw it as an escape from my past. Though I've come to find the past is not so easily left behind, I've realized I enjoy the life of a penitent. But make no mistake -- I will see the Monastery defended from anyone who would threaten us from within or without.

Many of the monks here at the Monastery of St. Aralor came from the Camonna Tong. We've all done things we are no longer proud of, so it's best to let the past lie.

Just ask your boss over at the Monastery of St. Aralor.

No. I won't speak of them.

Be easy, I won't rat you out to the Tong. I have no love for them. They are brutes. Whoever does business with them does so simply because they have no other option.

Yes, I do business with them. What of it? I'm hardly the only one in Bal Foyen who does so.

You may talk tough, you don't stand a chance against them. The Tong are everywhere and they are brutal. They drove the Thieves Guild out once and they'll do it again.

I may have said some unkind things -- by mistake, of course -- about the Tong earlier. I meant none of it. You know that, right?

I don't ask questions, I don't cause any trouble. I simply do what they say whenever they pay a visit. They are dangerous lunatics. Thugs. Killers.

No more. That is behind me now.

Some members of the Tong may have sometimes used my services, yes. They make very good clients.

Our organization is strong. We will outlive your Empire.

Serjo Vermilius Vendicci has had some business interactions with the native syndicate, but I can assure you that it has all been perfectly legitimate. No doubt serjo Vendicci himself will happily tell you more.

Some say they are just a mob of racist thugs. But I've done business with them. For the right price, they're very efficient. Take the servants here in the manor, for example. They were procured for me by the Tong. I just told them what I needed and the slaves arrived the next day. Just gold and goods exchanging hands. I respect that.

We don't work with them. The Tong have gold, yes, but they cannot be trusted.

Brutes.

We have made a new truce with them. We turn a blind eye to each other's businesses. Hopefully this will prevent further bloodshed.

They were responsible for the massacre at the Dusky Alit, and they'll do anything and everything to prevent us from returning to Bal Foyen. Their public hangout is the Council Club, but they have their hooks in many of the local businesses, too. I've tried to find out who their leader is in Bal Foyen, but to no avail. The Tong have a code of silence.

There's two reasons they hate our guts. One, we're their rivals in crime. Let's not beat around the bush about it. We are both in the same ugly business and there's not enough to pillage in this province for us both. Two, we're outlanders. Well, all of you are. The Tong see you as one of the arms of the Empire.

They ran an impressive smuggling operation in Bal Foyen. But we took care of that, didn't we?

They run an impressive smuggling operation in Bal Foyen. The clerks are in their pocket. The ones who aren't, know to keep quiet. The Tong also have strict code of silence. No one really knows how many members they have in town or who their local boss is. They must be nervous, after that bloodbath in Balmora, and what happened to Orvas Dren.

They run an impressive smuggling operation in Bal Foyen. When I worked in the docks, I saw glimpses of how it worked. Some of the Hlaalu clerks are in their pocket -- either through bribes or blackmail. The rest are too afraid to say anything. The Tong also have strict code of silence. No one really knows how many members they have in town or who their local boss is.

I'd rather not speak of them.

Their syndicate is a dangerous combination of xenophobic zealotry and a disposition towards violence. I've understood that they control much of what happens in Bal Foyen, and that their main source of income here is smuggling moon sugar and skooma. I've not crossed paths with them. I hope not to.

They are the enemy. They mustn't know we are here. We must be careful.

Supposedly, they hold some sway in Bal Foyen. I've told my men to keep an eye out for them.

%Name hears bad things happen to people who mess with them.

They're the local mob. It's better to stay on their good side. Don't rock the boat. I hear bad things happen to people who mess with them.

If you're here to lodge a complaint against a community member, I have some advice to share: move along. Hlan Oek isn't the town for you.

Me? No.

It is not my place to speak about the nature of the business they conduct.

The Camonna Tong does a lot of business along the Thirr River. Fishy business, and not the kind I'm in either.

We're Dunmer, we're proud, and Hlan Oek is our town. Don't like it? Leave.

We just want to do business without having to deal with ignorant outlanders like you.

You may have a misconception of the Tong, outlander. They take pride in their heritage, they support our charitable works in Hlan Oek, and many are some of the most devout followers of Almsivi you will ever encounter.

House Hlaalu appreciates the Tong's presence in Hlan Oek. Maintaining a garrison is expensive, and the Tong does good work keeping the peace when our own resources are stretched thin.

The Camonna Tong are slavers, smugglers, skooma cooks, and racketeers -- and they run this town. Everyone, from the governor in his mansion, to the priests of the Temple, to the House Hlaalu guards in the keep: they're in the Tong's pocket. And they hate outlanders like you and me. Don't deal with them If you can avoid it, and stay away from the Council Club and the sewers.

Outlanders like you and me, we don't talk about the Tong. Got it?

Some would call the Camonna Tong a criminal syndicate, and it's true they flaunt the Empire's laws when it comes to the buying and selling of certain goods. But here in Hlan Oek, it's the Tong that keeps the peace.

We're just natives, trying to get along. It isn't easy, with all the ignorant foreigners sticking their noses where they don't belong. Can I make it any clearer, outlander?

We're just a society of businessmen. Not that it's any of your business, outlander.

We're Dunmer, and we're proud. We're tired of seeing Morrowind run by outsiders who understand nothing about Morrowind.
