Editing Scrollhammer: Great Houses of Morrowind (section)

===Core===

====Slaves==== 

Slavery is widely practiced throughout Morrowind. The warriors of House Dres go forth on raids into the jungles of the southern half of Tamriel, bringing back throngs of Khajiiti and Argonians in chains. These unfortunates are sold to every Great House: Hlaalu, Dres and Indoril use slaves for farm and house labor, the warriors of Redoran use them for gladiatorial combat, and the wizards of Telvanni consider their slaves to be laboratory assistants or test subjects. Cursed manacles are often bought for slaves, preventing those suspected of knowing magic from using it effectively to escape. The Khajiit and Argonian species are considered by Dunmer to be worthy of slavery, a little bit wiser than animals, but still mere beasts compared to Merkind. Slaves of other races are found only in very small numbers, most often from among criminals who have offended House Dres. 

Slaves are often mobilized for war in time of need. They are poor substitutes for the warrior retainers of the Great Houses, and rebellion is a constant danger while slaves are armed; nevertheless they are an inexpensive army for a Dunmer lord to raise, and a far less costly one to lose.

3 pts per Slave, 6 pts for Slavedriver.
Core.
Horde, Infantry. Each Slave is either Khajiit or Argonian. Slavedrivers are Dark Elves.
19-79 Slaves, 1 Slavedriver per unit.

25mm x 25mm base.

====Warriors====

[[Image:Dunmerwarrior.jpg|thumb|400px|right|Dunmer Warrior in Netch Leather armor]]

Dunmer Warriors make up the core of the standing armies of the Great Houses. Some regiments of warriors consist of retainers and Oathmen, the guards of the Great House who both enforce law and order in the streets of their cities and fight for the nobles when the House goes to war. Others are mercenary thugs, sell-swords sent to do the House's dirty work. The Blade, Bow and Spell are the three great Dunmer arts of combat; garrisons of Dunmer warriors vary in their choice of weapon from village to village.

7 pts per model.
Core.

====Outriders====

The Guar is among the most common form of livestock in Morrowind. A two-legged predator with wide jaws, they have been domesticated as steeds and pack animals for generations. They often are ridden into battle, providing an element of speed to the Dunmer war-host. Horses, normally considered a delicacy by Dunmer, are occasionally ridden into battle as well, but not as often as Guars; the ash storms and blight of the Red Mountain sicken them.

====Camonna Tong Thugs====

The Camonna Tong is an infamous organized syndicate. Led by none other by Orvas Dren, brother of the Duke of Vvardenfell, the Camonna Tong is well known for its dominance in the black market, smuggling Skooma and other banned goods. Agents of the Camonna Tong have a heavy influence on House Hlaalu, bribing and threatening the nobles, and even joining the House to influence it from within.
