At the end of the First Era, the Tong received its highest-profile contract to date, on Emperor Reman III. However it began, the guild quickly rose to prominence in the environment of early Morrowind's bloody House conflicts, quickly establishing the writ system and a reputation as peerless killers.

Others state it began as a cult which, while also following Mephala, ultimately revered the 'Dread Father' Sithis above all. The orthodoxy of the Tribunal hold that the Daedra Mephala founded the guild to teach the early Chimer how to defend themselves and destroy their adversaries.

The origins of the Morag Tong are shrouded in myth.
