Editing Scrollhammer: Great Houses of Morrowind (section)

====Great House Agents====

The intrigues between the Great Houses are legendary in scale. The law of Morrowind restrains the Houses from engaging in large scale wars, but all forms of underhanded activity are tolerated. Espionage, sabotage and assassination are frequently carried between Houses by hired thugs. Those who are caught are often may find themselves subject to heavy fines or outlawry, depending on the severity of their actions and the number of friends they have in high places. It is by this indirect means that the various factions of Morrowind vie for power over land, people and resources.
