Love your work.
I have read something about this theme and you transferred it masterly into the skyrim world.
The whole is a masterly work of you again...I wonder, if Maeven will join the camonna....?
They are always like little tales on their own and you already know I'm very impressed by how you handle the lore to fit with your own texts...
Wonderful looking woman too - yes, a true woman!
You tell the story nicely. She looks different to me after reading it,..
My idea was to apply the phenomenon of banditry which gave rise to the Mafia in southern Italy, halfway between revolutionary phenomenon or reactionary, and create a new whisker version of camonna, colovian but transplanted in the colovian culture, in a city like Bravil degraded, which in background it's very similar to Naples in many ways. The city is located on a large bay, and its port has a strategic position to support the Drug traffic. The same term Camonna, remember and perhaps inspired by "Camorra" that is, the Neapolitan mafia.
The Mafia in Italy, in its four forms although it exists a minor Roman one, of which the Sicilian is the best known but today the less powerful, found themselves around a robust connection with religion and with mythical traits around their foundation, covering medieval tales of chivalry and also Masonic.
The camonna of Bravil, has its strength in abandoning the cult of daedras, to embrace that of Aedras and then eventually legitimate in the eyes of the people and the clergy. The rest is typical of the Mafia, present themselves as benevolent, to the service of the oppressed people, dispenser of justice that should compensate the state judicial deficiencies. So the mafia grows where it finds the right soil. But the mafia is not a pure Italian phenomenon, but a form of development and self-organization of the crime that takes different forms and is spread universally. The Mafia basically puts into practice capitalism liberated by the "spirit", where the entrepreneurial dimension disappears to bring out the purely parasite appearance. The mafia is everywhere, because it spreads its tentacles, acquiring property, real estate, companies invisibly, especially in times of economic crisis where it reveals a powerful force because it has huge hand cash to clean up.
A part of our economy has the appearance of a healthy fruit outside, but when you cut it and look at its pulp discover that is full of worms and it rotted.
It seems to me that my description of camonnaof Bravil describes well this mechanism, which also operates in a typical society of Imperial Roman or Medieval Renaissance, however, already quite evolved.
Thank you for your comment and interest.
