Mafia

Post by Adahn »

I've noticed some interesting things about the two assassin gangs. The Morag Tong, and the Cammona Tong. Being italian, I know about the mafia here in Naples, and the funny thing is that, their called the Cammora they're the most dangeous in italy. Makes ya think if Bethesda didn't take the name from them. (Cam)Mora-g Tong and Cammo(ra)-na Tong. hehe :p

Wonder what Tong means though.

Cool, I didn't think about it (I am italian too).
Dunno what Tong means either, tough (maybe nothing).

Aren't Tong or Thong Asian gangs or something? Sort of like Yakuza and Triads?

Thanks ^^ So there you have it. Morag Tong, and Cammona Tong, are just two names taken from a real live Mafia, changed a few letters and added the word "Gang" to it.

Now didn't we all learn something new today? :p
