Skyrim Codex

The Dark Brotherhood

Skyrim's last cell of the ancient order of assassins who kill in the name of the Night Mother. Initiation is a knife in the dark; what follows is a conspiracy that reaches the Emperor himself.

How to join

Answer the rumor of a contract killing — kill the right target and the Brotherhood comes to you.

Headquarters: The Falkreath Sanctuary
