Maybe to Join the Morag Tong you have to be part of the DB and you infiltrate their ranks assianate the Leader and become the new one. Letting the DB come to power in MW, or something like that...

Maybe if the Morag Tong wasn't there. And many other Dunmer hate the Dark Brotherhood, too.

actually most people hate Dark Brotherhood... but outside of Morrowind, who are they gonna turn to to have an assassination job? most assassin guilds have been killed or absorbed by the Dark Brotherhood... and Thieves are usually unwilling to assassinate, and local gangs and smaller assassin organizations simply don't have the finesse/training or don't wanna get the Dark Brotherhood on their case

At the time of posting the given balance is:
Redoran 12 27.91%
Hlaalu 8 18.60%
Dunmer Temple 7 16.28%
Morag Tong 6 13.95%
Guild of Mages 3 6.98%
Imperial Legion 3 6.98%
Guild of Thieves 2 4.65%
Guild of Fighters 2 4.65%
Imperial Cult 0 0.00%

From the ST point of view this looks sensible, but I suspect that we have to recognise that many players coming from Cyrodiil to ST will be Imperials, so that has to be carefully planned = we have to account for their perspective and seriously consider what the impact of our decisions will have on their gameplay experiences (hopefully without any cop-outs) allowing for the fact that many will want to continue with their favorite characters.

Also I am wondering if/how we should/could actually alter the basic political structure of Morrowind to give a fresh feel in the wake of TES3 and TES4 events? Accepting that it is probably only 3 or 4 years after TES3... Clearly KitKA is doing this with Vvardenfell and his war - business is more as usual on the mainland due to the agreement to keep the inter-house open conflict restricted to Vvar, but I feel that the strains should be showing in conversation, behaviour generally and levels of trust - so priorities would have to showcase this with a suitable dynamic also.

We do have to keep all sides up there - at the moment we are assuming that the Imperials are nowhere. But although their main military units may be comparatively quiescent I would expect their other organisations, leadership and 'deniable resources' to be in absolute turmoil and to find that interaction between them and Dunmer organisations to be most intense.

I think there sh??ld be Dark Brotherhood, but as there is a war going in all the echelons of power, I think that after 4 quests you are asked by the Morag Tong to kill the DB hideout, or be killed yourself... (check one of my broadsheets for that )

It would take care of the DB brotherhood, while the gap where the DB should be is filled....

Where is Telvanni??? ?( ?( I think we should give the theives guild focus too. For stealthy chars.

I believe that because it is set in Morrowind, we should start out with the big guys specific to that region, with the exceptioin of the Imperials due to the fact that they're already such a gigantic part of the original game. I think we need to focus on the new factions and give players a more unique experience, one at least slightly different in feel from the original game.

I voted for Redoran, Hlaalu, and the Dunmer Temple. Reason being is that they are three of the largest factions, and in my opinion three of the most important.

Considering that the Redoran and Hlaalu have such great influence in the region, I think that without a doubt they are the first ones to accomplish. As for the Dunmer Temple, I wouldn't have a problem if it were the Morag Tong. They're both much better choices than remakes of factions from the original game.

House Telvanni controls the northeastern part of Morrowind, and so their lands are situated extremely far from us. The nearest Telvanni territory from the perspective of our lands is eastern Vvardenfell.

At one point we entertained the idea of having a Telvanni councillor in Silgrad City. I don't know what will happen to that idea though. It wasn't such a great idea to begin with in my opinion. It stemmed from the old team having modded a Telvanni podhouse outside Silgrad City.

silgrad city itself was a Redoran holding but now is like a contested city between Hlaalu and Redoran, however I wouln't be surprised if Dres self-exiles who don't support the (majority) of nobles who support Helseth and Indoril refugees fleeing from the border wars... Indoril would be going into southern Telvanni lands, Vvardenfell, south into traditional Dres lands, and into Redoran lands....
but also i wouldn't be surprised if a small but powerful band of Telvanni are in Silgrad City trying to fulfill their own aggressive ans ambitious political agenda

Redoran and the Mages and Fighters Guild are my votes.

BTW, what is the house of troubles? is it the eighth house? I only counted seven (dres, indoril, hlaalu, telvanni, redoran, dagoth, dwemer)
