SKYRIM - 5 Dark Brotherhood Secrets (Elder Scrolls Lore & Facts)

[@T-Bone-fm7jt]

If we ever get an elder scrolls game in black marsh, the shadowscales must be revived!

[@Gr3nadgr3gory]

T-Bone6543 well, they could easily have established contact with the dragonborn and therefore send argonian children born under the shadow to them.

[@pineaplee7486]

T-Bone6543 I want TES VI to be in The Black Marsh, or Elsweyr.

[@EliteGamer-hy1mg]

hi

[@dokuujin1851]

Sadly, that won't (exactly) work. Destroy the Dark Brotherhood! is the canon ending, iirc. :c It could always happen during the Aldmerian War (please?) and Shadowscales could be a faction against the Aldmeri? Maybe all your friends die, you end up the last Shadowscale and Veezara ends up being a descendants of Hero 6. That'd be sweet. Then again, Shadowscales PROBABLY still exsist even without the Dark Brotherhood, since they serve Argonian king, not JUST Sithis and his Bride.

[@LilithSoul4]

x\ Dokuujin /x there's likely no canon ending. I'd like to know your source.

[@Solarium501]

hey ,I know what you are ...Hail Sithis. ~A guard.

[@jankones5873]

oh, he just killed someone... let's tell him how I get arrow in a knee

[@zerorights8298]

Jan Kones arrow in the knee means proposed or got married

[@zerorights8298]

Sol Foo you said it wrong it's Psst I know who you are, Hail Sithis

[@me5969]

Is that true or is that a joke? because it makes sense

[@magneticmods3036]

Sol Foo Shut Up You Fool! For Yet You May Expose Me!

[@spencer11010]

Psst, I know who you are. Hail Sithis.

[@twan.hltslg1067]

Mehrunes Dagon hail Sithis

[@iwanttodie7199]

Mehrunes Dagon hail sithis brother

[@cherry.1761]

Mehrunes Dagon Hail With is Brothers

[@iwanttodie7199]

[@werecatauthor4249]

Hail Sithis

[@dokuujin1851]

Sweet mother, sweet mother. Send your child unto me. For the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear. (The feels when I had to look it up to make sure I had it right, only to realize I know the Black Sacrament off the top of my head... Sanguine, my brother.)

[@dokuujin1851]

Side note; Why did I know literally all of this? These "you probably don't know" videos need to Git Gud.

[@pedroviniciuspreiswelter4710]

x\ Dokuujin /x because these types of videos are not meant for People Who actually bother to read the lore. They're meant for the casual player.

[@dokuujin1851]

I don't even read the lore, to be honest. Like, when I'm extra curious about something, sure. I do also pay attention to dialog. But, when I get books and such I basically never read them. o:

[@ketz_165]

Dark brotherhood is by far the best guild imo

[@ketz_165]

Y all mofos need Talos we will send you and that pitiful excuse of a ruler to the void to be judged by sithis if you keep that tone just like Pelagius and Titus mead

[@roshankredemption2510]

They are probably my favorite guild as well!

[@ketz_165]

Y all mofos need Talos Are we still role playing? because you kinda have an aggressive undertone lol

[@Y-all-mofos-need-Talos]

George Ketzler hahahahah i luv this xD

[@kinglyking4200]

Definately

[@xECHOSEVENx]

I love your skyrim lore. I would enjoy to hear more of the tiny intricacies of each fact, but you cover each topic in ways that are easy to follow and cover the topics for the most part. I enjoy these lore videos the most by you.

[@xnekonekoo3594]

Dark Brotherhood Forever!! Best storyline in the whole Elder Scrolls series.

[@vulcan277]

Oblivion storyline was and is better than skyrims db quest line

[@xnekonekoo3594]

Ciann that is very very true, its from Oblivion i fell in love with the DB. Skyrims DB wasnt bad but fell kinda short in comparison to Oblivions.

[@gothic3theageofwar565]

Ciann Mmmmmh this time I have to disagree, I think Skyrim db questline was absolutely awesome. The problem is that killing the Emperor Titus Mede II should have provoke something like a political disaster for the Empire. The quests are beautiful but I would have like so much to have some sort of continuation of that story. For example joining the Legion later and save the Empire. Oh well a beautiful dream that it's not possible because we would need to add all provinces of Tamriel. Maybe if Beyond Skyrim will ever be released we will be able to participate a bit more in cyrodiilic politics and eventually save the Empire from collapse

[@vulcan277]

Frank -97 Yeh in a way I agree but as xNekoNekoo said I fell in love with the DB quest line of Oblivion. With lucien lachance and everyone thinking he is the traitor and basically destroying the guild killing everyone in it . The lucky old lady statue which was one of the Night Mothers crypts

[@heinze52]

Frank -97 I assumed they acted like nothing happened because at that point the empire was controlled by the high elves making the emperor just for show so if he dies they can afford to pretend nothing happened because all of the political power still sits with them

[@willherondale6367]

Ancient shrouded armour + Blade of Woe + Mehrunes Razor anyone?

[@CrowzEye]

Will Herondale yeah maybe the oblivion version...not the skyrim one though.

[@nameless9767]

Nightingale armor + shrouded gloves + mehrunes razor

[@thomasruiz2307]

I remember when I played Oblivion and got visited in my home by that invisible guy who tries to recruit you. The first thing I though was "A home intruder" and I killed him and immediately failed that quest line. Did not look back, he should have knocked and asked if he could come in and talk. Now he's dead muahaha!

[@jeroenvanos9653]

it keeps suprising me how much thought has been put into the elder scrolls series

[@crashkojote5627]

Ironically I knew everything but minor details, first creation-story and the rest of the Black Doors already. Hail Sithis, my Brother.

[@baewilix4589]

Pssst...hey you..

[@scientic]

Why's that ironic?

[@crashkojote5627]

SciPanda 'cause usually those videos give me more informatoin about ... anything Elder Scrolls related than I imaginded there is. Not this time Zoshira What is it, Dragons?

[@baewilix4589]

Psssst...Hail Sithis.

[@roshankredemption2510]

@Crash Kojote Ah, sorry about that, I'll try to include some less well known facts next time! Hail Sithis

[@Mononoke-Hime-01]

Hail Sithis brothers and sisters (Also: Great video ^^)

[@roshankredemption2510]

Thanks!

[@DovaDarko]

Hail Sithis and the Night Mistress Nocturnal (queen of thieves)

[@mrrstarrk]

John Sadblack Hail Sithis

[@TastyCrunch]

Rick Sanchez Why does this comment section call me this is an outrage!!

[@TheGreatAngel]

I actually wanna know more about the Morag Tong than the DB personally... like for example... why were they still around during the events of the Nerevarine Prophecy, they didn't exactly "seem" like they were hurting or anything... they seemed pretty well in control and to be perfectly honest they were more prominent in Vvardenfell than even the Camonna Tong... which is another huge question... who the hell are they and where did they come from? I know I've claimed in the past that I know a decent amount of lore about this series (I know probably 98%... maybe 99% of you this is the first time you're ever seeing me comment) but this is one road that I've always wondered about was the Morag Tong and Camonna Tong, the Dark Brotherhood's lore is honestly explained pretty thoroughly throughout the series (albeit there were some things on this video that I didn't actually know), I just wanna know more about the warring assassination factions in Morrowind more, especially since the fact that the Dark Brotherhood, quite clearly, was already established during the events of the Nerevarine Prophecy... which I'm honestly surprised I don't know more about them since they're like my favorite faction from Morrowind and Morrowind is actually my favorite of the series... actually my favorite game EVER lol.

[@nowheremanofthehour]

As far as i know, Morag Tong was banished from all provinces of the empire. They had difficulties running their business on Tamriel during that period. To be an active and well-known organization again, Morag Tong recognized the religion of Tribunal Temple (Almsivi) on Morrowind which consists of the teachings by Vivec, Almalexia and Sotha Sil, former mortals who were close to Indoril Nerevar, the Chimer hero.They used the legendary dwemer architect Kagnerac's tools to gain divine power and became living gods despite Nerevar's last wish. Story of Tribunal, Dwemer, Dagoth and Nerevar is a long one. Anyways, after Morag Tong recognized The Tribunal as true gods, they were allowed by Vivec to run their assasination business in Vvardenfell district of Morrowind. Their assasinations are considered legal by the law and they used writs which shows that the assassin of the guild is on an offical business, so guards and ordinators let them be. That's why they are still around during Nerevar's rebirth. One of the reasons that Morag Tong and Dark Brotherhood became so hostile against eachother is that DB believes that Morag Tong commited blasphemy by accapting Tribunal as true gods. I mean, Morag Tong's main guild quarters are located at Vivec city which is the home of Tribunal god Vivec and the city has the most religious motives and buildings. They pactically seek protection from Tribunal. This is unaccaptable for DB. But i still prefer Morag Tong over DB due to my love for Dunmer(Chimer) lore. Origins of the guild is a mystery tho.

[@TheGreatAngel]

nowheremanofthehour Yeah I knew a little bit about that but that last part is what I wanna know more about their origins and honestly... like EVERYTHING about the Camonna Tong...

[@NilFox]

The only thing I can say is check the Tes lore reddit, the people over there have alot of information.

[@TheGreatAngel]

Nil Fox I don't have a reddit and won't get one and Matthew Patton I don't trust the elder scrolls wiki they're a lot like the Dragon Ball wiki and the fextralife wiki's for the Dark Souls series anyone can edit them and they don't really keep up with checking if the information is correct and a lot of the time have misinformed info I prefer uesp and personally... I just don't have the time to explore all of the avenues and actually "study" that info... I did that once that's how I know so much about Anu and Padomay and the inception of everything so much but I just don't have the time to do that stuff anymore now that I'm an actual adult lol but I also wasn't saying that I "need" to know it just would be helpful info since it seems there's a lot that doesn't really explain much about these two clans

[@ulfricstormcloak9096]

TheGreatAngel Hi

[@DVS1USMC]

Good narration, good sourcing, and great editing. You have a new sub.

[@roshankredemption2510]

Thank you so much!

[@herman1francis]

To do so... is to summon the wrath, of Sithis.

[@Ahmetfusta]

"To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis." That's the correct quote.

[@har0her059]

This was soooooo good man. I had no idea about most lore in elder scrolls but I have Ben watching your vids

[@robindom.2186]

Nathan Perry poor Ben :(

[@har0her059]

Shit just realized auto correct just fucked my sincere comment AHHHHHHHHHH

[@JJ-cg3ks]

A fun fact about the Dark Brotherhood is that Cicero wasn't always as insane as he is now, I believe the Night Mother gave him his laughter to help him cope

[@nermaltrash9206]

Wow I watched all your skyrim lore videos and didn't get a single ad👏🏻👏🏻

[@jaxxberserker5247]

Really interesting! and I especially like your commentary- you're pretty good!

[@rolfskytte]

Awesome visuals for this one! Great vid!

[@liftedlegend419]

great video your lore videos are actually different than EVERYBODY else

[@roshankredemption2510]

Thanks for the kind words, I try to keep my videos unique :)

[@1108chuck]

They should come out with a stand alone Dark Brotherhood game.

[@shaunmitchell9956]

1108chuck id be a shadow scale

[@Alalpog]

Hell yeah. I would play that over AC games. :D

[@magneticmods3036]

1108chuck FUCK Yes As AC Style But Being Elder Scrolls And First Person

[@lethal_dragon1690]

So it like elder scrolls mixed with ac and dishonored?

[@magneticmods3036]

Vape_dragon16 N........ No..... NO NO Where Did You Hear This No What WTF No Just FUCK....... FUCK Me I Just Got Aids

[@qahnaaris8957]

They better not fucking end the Shadowscales In the next game.

[@iitzgh0st757]

NEXT GAME? HL3 CONFIRMED?

[@garytaylor3880]

Nuclear Shadowscale well Vezara was the last of his kind born under the sign of the Shadowscale and he's dead so...

[@h.t.6442]

That doesn't stop more argonians from being born under said sign, the only reason they're considered "extinct" is because their facilities have been abandoned and they aren't trained anymore.

[@Tony73727]

How? There are no teachers from experience that can teach argonian children in the specific way of the Shadowscale, all that would be created are cut throat children of a different kind and only labelled "Shadowscale". They wouldn't be the same. Unless there's a Shadowscale training book within those facilities.

[@h.t.6442]

Sigh...an argonian born under the Shadow = Shadowscale. It's not a complicated formula, because of this the Shadowscales could be revived at any point just like every other faction believed dead in ES (Blades, Knights of the Nine etc.).

[@omuomu0220]

How haven't I seen your channel yet, subbed. Your vids are great!

[@stevenfrace3970]

thank you for making that video.i joined the dark brotherhood in skyrim and i wanted to know so lore.thank you again.

[@LorenzBung]

Wow you make as much views in one day as you have subscribers. That shows a very active community!

[@ryanohryan5087]

I love your channel man, keep doing you !!!

[@Joon]

very good video! Well made, with very high quality. Well done.

[@jinji9523]

Next time you should make a video on sithis and lorken

[@DoomsdayR3sistance]

I'd imagine It's hard to make a video on Sithis, as the Dark Brotherhood say, Sithis is the Void. We also know Sithis is the birthed soul of Padomay and so represents change and that the Deadric realms of oblivion exist within/extend the void. Finally that Sithis played a part in all creation, that of both Aedra and Deadra but that is about all we know.

[@gwenantonio1840]

Lorkan*

[@007RAJKOify]

Many people think that Sithis is affiliated with daedra. thats incorrect. He has same relations with both daedra and aedra. he doesn see them as allies.His relations with Lorkan are those of subordinate and master. Sithis is Padomay. he isnt good nor bad, he is simply himself, or rather itself. He is also manifestation of mortality as mortality and birth as they bring change. He is also manifestation of evolution (what he did to argonians). Above all he is void and unexisting afterlife.

[@andruloni]

*Lorkhan

[@dylangibson1515]

Ya know before I clicked on this I was thinking. Oh Skyrim SE came out so people are gonna make garbage videos on the game with stuff most already know. But I was surprised. Nice video dude.

[@roshankredemption2510]

Thank you! Means a lot :)

[@dylangibson1515]

Roshank Redemption Woah didn't expect a reply. Have you done a specific video of the Shadowscales themselves? And cheers for the reply. Not enough KZbinrs do that nowadays. Definitely earned a sub.

[@brotheralaric7177]

it's funny to the name Anu, was also present in Diablo cosmology. anyway as usual you did a great job, with your help i begin to understand how complex is the universe of the Elder Scroll.

[@crvz9761]

Love your videos, keep it up!

[@roshankredemption2510]

Thanks!

[@chobankovic]

Sithis was probabily made up by Mephala. The Aedra and the Daedra have never mentioned such an entity... The first person who speaks of Sithis is the Night Mother, who could easily be Mephala, since the Morag Tong stopped worshiping her, she had to bring the organization under her fold somehow...

[@papahairy5315]

Mephala is a joke compared to Sithis.

[@SeekerXMusic]

sithis and padome?? got to love the star wars references.

[@avarma6313]

what about the origins of shadowmere

[@Tony73727]

I found out that if you summon that spectral assassin Astrid gives you, he talks to Shadowmere by saying something like, "Shadowmere. My old faithful friend." It was a nice addition.

[@avarma6313]

Le Royal Reaper yes but where was she born? dose she live in the aedra region and how old is she.

[@narukika]

He said that because he was because in Tes IV: Oblivion he was the rider of Shadowmere until he gives it to you as part of the rewards of a mission of the Dark Brotherhood. So he knows Shadowmere very well I guess

[@InfernGame]

That's because Shadowmere was owned by the Spectral Assassin, Lucien Lachance, during the events of Oblivion.

[@lizzcourtois6916]

In oblivion shadowmere is a female. In skyrim shadowmere is a male. Which is it?!?! 😲

[@sujamma-stw6758]

best video of dark brotherhood secrets

[@limpickinakaanarchy8590]

Interesting. Great, informative video!

[@chloeadams3776]

man I love your videos keep it up my dark brother!

[@roshankredemption2510]

Thanks!

[@GinjaninjaRecca]

Brah... ur video is hella good keep it up!!

[@Chepo225]

I like how he boldly claims that the shadowscales are extinct. We don't really know that for sure. If anything there might still be a few shadowscales in the Black Marsh protecting the Argonian King from any Dunmmer/Moragtong agents. Also the Moragtong is not extincted either because they show up in Solstiem. They(Dunmmer) Might want revenge for the invasion of their homeland by the Argonians which is funny because the Argonians were enslaved by the Dunmmer before the war for hundreds of years.

[@Chepo225]

Btw sorry if I misspelled anything.

[@garytaylor3880]

Tomato Mayo I'm sure Vezara who is a Shadowscale himself would know if there are any others out there. Even if there are others if they worked for the Argonian King I believe he would know. He likely still has ties and connections in Black Marsh as well. So if there are any other Shadowscales they likely have not yet been discovered or it's unknown they are Shadowscale

[@Dragunslayer83]

Well, from what I understand, there's a novel called The Infernal City(an actual book, not an ingame book), that apparently has events in it that may have resulted in the decline of the shadowscales. What those events are, I'm not entirely certain but from what I've gathered, the current leaders in Black Marsh no longer supported the Shadowscales and thus the training facility in Archon was shut down.

[@pappolobalaur3803]

In ESO, the Morag Tong still exist and are rivals of a sort to the Dark Brotherhood. The way you explain this makes it seem like they where not more.

[@anprabh1]

Dude's confusing Mephala with Boethiah. Boethiah is the Conspiracy expert while Mephala deals with lies.

[@RavenRyy]

Took this from lore on Mephala. She is known by the names Webspinner, Spinner, and Spider. Her sphere is lies, sex, murder, secrets and plots, and she enjoys seducing and interfering in mortal affairs for her own amusement. Plots dude.

[@anprabh1]

RavenRyy Boethiah is linked more to plots and conspiracies because Boethiah signifies unlawful overthrow of authority. Something like that can only happen through plots and conspiracies. This is also why Molag Bal hates Boethiah because Boethiah opposes domination.

[@RavenRyy]

Mephala on the other hand seems to into plots and the like for its own sake. I copied that text from the wiki, but I do recognise from Elder Scrolls fluff.

[@sugar4me225]

Thanks, now I can catch up with the lores:)

[@leelicayan2180]

Nice video man. Have you played ESO? Is it worth to play it?

[@roshankredemption2510]

I've actually never played ESO - heard good things though, and that it's gotten a lot better than when it started. I'll probably five it a try at some point!

[@kalbot98]

Yeah. I have heard the same.

[@BenDover-xw1no]

Well done.

[@roshankredemption2510]

Thanks :)

[@100PercentTTrill]

hey you got another subscriber good job my first guild I concurred

[@prinklepuffpie1712]

I only knew 2 of these facts and I am a HUGE Dark Brotherhood fan..... does this make me an unbeliever of Sithis?

[@juliussneezer3122]

I hope that someday there will be a elder scrolls game where you have to fight sithis himself and wipeout the dark brotherhood for good

[@juliussneezer3122]

of course that would cause later issues because you could no longer join the brotherhood but I think it would be a great opportunity for something new

[@codyrhodes2473]

julius sneezer You literally can do this in Skyrim. As the order in Skyrim is the final sect, killing their members ends the Dark Brotherhood. You aren't going to convince anyone that making the destruction of a faction canon is a good idea.

[@leredspy6815]

julius sneezer It would make an interesting quest but I hate the idea.

[@juliussneezer3122]

Cody Rhodes it was just a thought. I actually got the idea from a few people on twitter and Instagram it is not my own theory just thought I should share it and see what other people thought of it

[@khalilmason]

julius sneezer that'd mean achieving something way beyond CHim and being able to erase the existence of something that was there before even time was. No elder scrolls player character should be that strong unless you like lore breaking and game breaking mods.

[@CassidyCope]

The four fingers actually represent the speakers, the silencers are just the nails.

[@guilhermemartins1424]

Actually there was only one night mother. You mentioned "the last living night mother died", which is totally wrong according to the "The Night Mother truth", a book you can find at the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in Skyrim. She was originally a dunmer assassin who eventually rose to the highest possible rank in the Morag Tong and was named "Night Mother". She was murdered and her sanctuary burned after killing her 5 children (who according to legend were sithis' children also) by the will of the Dread Lord and his prophecy - Sithis visited her in bed lock and told her the Void was starving for souls, and thus the dark prophecy began. Then after her death, like 20-50 years later she spoke to a man and ordered him to create the Dark Brotherhood as we know today.

[@mangothecat8640]

I think you should do one about the thistles in the thick thickets of the Thalmor....

Can you make a video on the All-Maker of the Skaal? Not much is known about this deity

[@roshankredemption2510]

That's an interesting topic, I'll keep it in mind and hopefully do something on this in the future :)

[@tisFrancesfault]

If you look at it, the all maker is likely anu or auriel and the trickster is lorkhan or padhome (sithis).

[@MCPunk55]

I always thought the fingers in the hand represented both the five children murdered by the night mother and the five rules.

[@-Rebellion-]

[@dea_xth1898]

Hey pst... I know who you are hail sithis!

[@Azryill]

Anyone know a mod or preset to get a dark elf to look like the one at 0:53 ?

[@hiddensecreturl]

At least as far as Skyrim is concerned, the Dark Brotherhood for me was by far the best. The best written, compelling plot, interesting and unique characters. The others are all very standard RPG questlines, and maybe the Dark Brotherhood ql is as well, but there's just something about it that makes it better.

[@goblinkingaphelion]

If you haven't played Oblivion I would highly recommend it. If you can get past the shoddy gameplay and graphics, the plots are overall much better, especially the Dark Brotherhood. The DB in Skyrim was kind of.... unceremonious, badly-structured, and had Astrid in it, so.

[@hiddensecreturl]

I probably put about 2000 hours into various Oblivion saves. I disagree on all of those counts, except maybe the Astrid part. Badly-structured how?

[@goblinkingaphelion]

The quests were structured fne (mostly), but in-game the Brotherhood had pretty much fallen apart. They no longer followed the Night Mother or the Tenants, and barely seemed to care for Sithis either. I suppose that doesn't bother some people, but personally as someone who's pretty invested in the Dark Brotherhood as an entity, I preferred the... widespread religious cult aspect of it, as well as the secretiveness and covertness in Oblivion. Skyrim didn't really have that. They were less the actual Brotherhood and more a group of random killers hiding out in a Sanctuary. There were no dead drops, not much killing in the honor of Sithis.... it was all about loyalty to Astrid, pretty much. Which, I suppose, was the entire point of the plot (to break away from that) but I didn't enjoy it and thought they really could have done something better with the Brotherhood overall. Mechanically, as well, I don't remember being as interested by most of the quests in Skyrim. In Oblivion they did a good job of making each quest relatively unique and memorable, each with its own requirements, unique targets and bonus methods, but in Skyrim.... it was pretty much "go here, kill this, come back, get paid." It was less about the kill and more about the paycheck, and that for me defeats the purpose of the Dark Brotherhood, for whom the money is really just a bonus. It's about the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of feeding another soul to the Void. This of course is all personal opinion, and if you disagree that's understandable. Wow, long ranty post. Sorry about that. I'm very passionate about TES, and the DB in particular.

[@hiddensecreturl]

I'll admit, I don't think there has every been a Dark Brotherhood quest as fun as the 'whodunnit' one in the house in Anvil(?). That was so fun, and I also recall one where you have to to strike someone with a special poison that makes them seem dead, only to go to the catacombs to revive them. However, I thought the storyline with the Gourmet was creative and fun, it was nice to see them take advantage of the grab mechanic (in hiding the body). But I agree I think a lot of the... coolness comes from them being a semi-religious, omniscient group. I remember the first time I got the 'Your killing has been observed by forces unknown.' message in Oblivion - chills! Equally, I think that the courier delivering a note that simple says 'We know.' with a black hand is pretty creepy. The concept of Sithis is one of my favourite pieces of lore. The Dread Father is omniscient, he is everywhere and yet is formless, and this is reflected in the Dark Brotherhood in TES:IV. You get the feeling that they _are_ everywhere. But I think you're right in saying that the plot was about restoring the Dark Brotherhood to the Five Tenets. I don't even think that it was a bad storyline, I just think it didn't have the things you like about the Brotherhood. Also, no Black Hand which was disappointing. Ha, that's okay, I responded in kind.

Roshank Redemption, could you please make a video on the Morag Tong. They're a rival assassin's guild from Morrowind that the dark brotherhood split off from and are now the sworn enemies of them

[@titanicwasaninsidejob6210]

Woops. I wrote this comment before watching the video. You pretty much explained about the Morag Tong. Sorry. But still a stand a lone video on them would be cool.

The more I think about it the thugee sect could be an influence making the night mother a reference to the hand goddess Kali concubine of Shiva the destroyer aka sithis

[@fartsparkle]

A whole video on sithis would be intersecting

[@rustyblade9400]

Just sayin i think a cool quest would be once you become speaker, you actually go out and recruit people, kinda like how lucien lachance did for you in tes4

[@planetdook3431]

In Oblivion, close to the end of the Dark Brotherhood quest-line, the Dark Brotherhood to a ritual to go into the tomb of the Night Mother, which is under the Lucy Old Lady statue. Soooooo... the Lucy Old Lady IS the Night Mother.

[@Sheepo25]

I have my own theory on Sithis. Sithis is hungry for souls and he summons wraiths (embodiments of souls) to directly do his bidding. Who else yearns for souls and commands them to do their bidding? The Ideal Masters. Sithis is the Ideal Masters. The Void is the Soul Cairn.

[@mahrcheen7966]

We shall add the sixth one to our tenets: "Never speak about the brotherhood in public. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis." And how the hell is that author just gave away passwords to our sanctuaries... Let's change at least wi-fi xd

[@masterassassinofdota]

Lorkhan's goal is to destroy the boring dream of Anu the Dreamer who created Padomay the Change and Anu the Stasis. Otherword, Lorkhan realized the existence of CHIM so he wants to get both CHIM and Amaranth to escape the endless loop of sadness of Anu's Dream or The Elder Scrolls universe.
