The five rules mainly concentrate upon respect for the highest faction members, fellow brothers and to avoid invoking the wrath of Sithis the latter is a chaotic entity in its primordial state and the patron of the guild.ĭark Brotherhood members mainly reside in the Black Marshes, and some Argonians are considered highly respected members possessing ‘natural talents’. Those who belong to the Brotherhood must adhere to an oath, known as the five tenets, which shows that despite their intrinsic criminal nature they follow a code of honour. The Dark Brotherhood is still considered an Imperial guild because of its ancient lineage, although its activities are illegal and frowned upon. They originally stemmed from the ‘Morag Tong’ guild which is talked about further on in the series. The Brotherhood isn’t a joinable guild although they do play a part in the Elder Scrolls III, and later a much bigger part in the sequel ‘Oblivion’. They are hired hands, often working in the shadows and contracted by powerful political figures to assassinate rivals or important players in Vvardenfell.
The Dark Brotherhood is a guild of killers, sometimes dark mages who use their arcane knowledge for their illegal activities.
