The Dark Brotherhood is an organization of highly trained assassins who carry out assassination contracts. The Dark Brotherhood is called upon by those who wish to utilize their deadly services through a ritual called "The Black Sacrament". They were once the most feared organisation in all of Tamriel, but have lost their reputation over time. The Dark Brotherhood is governed by The Five Tenets, which set the ground rules for the Brotherhood. Which are:
The Dark Brotherhood has been operating in Tamriel for many centuries, at one time having many clandestine sanctuaries across the Empire. They revere Sithis, the avatar of entropy and chaos, as well as the Night Mother, who is the spiritual leader of the Dark Brotherhood.
How to join the Dark Brotherhood:
The Dark Brotherhood is very selective in its choosing of members, oftentimes training them from an early age in the art of assassination and stealth. Sometimes if a higher ranking member of the Brotherhood witnesses a murder they deem worthy, they'll approach an individual with the offer of becoming an Initiate of the Dark Brotherhood, though this is extremely rare. Initiates must display the ability to kill mercilessly, without regret or sorrow. As a result, their ranks include vampires, werewolves, bandits, and mages, anyone that shows aptitude for a job well handled.
Ranks:
You are part of the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim, your whole purpose in this group is to fulfill contracts given to you. Of course your contracts is to assassinate someone.. Some may still have remorse of their doings, but you must not show it. For those who show remorse shall be 'disposed of'.
The Sanctuary is located beneath Dragonsreach in the city of Whiterun. It's main entrance is through a cave behind Dragonsreach, often used by bandits its now abandoned. A winding tunnel leads to the enchanted door, only accepted members may enter. There are also numerous exits inside Whiterun; one near the Skyforge, another into the canals, and one that let's out near the main gate, all of them are hidden from direct view.
To differ from the previous thread, I'm going to try my hand at a "campaign" of sorts, think of me as a very basic dungeon master. My character will hand out contracts as necessary to keep the thread from stagnating into everyone milling about the sanctuary. If you want one, PM me after the thread has begun and I'll come up with a little 'quest' for your character to handle.
Rules:
*Please be detailed, keep one-liners to a minimum. (Though it's acceptable if it's only conversation without much action.
* All Iwaku Forum rules apply.
*There can be romance between two people, but how well do you expect that go over between assassins?
*Your character is effectively mortal (unless a vampire), but not immune to death or injury.
*It's a Low Fantasy setting, be appropriate. Crossbows are about as advanced as technology gets. Steam powered machinery is incredibly rare, ancient, or downright risky to even use.
*No, you can not be the Dragonborn/Hero of Kvatch/Nerevarine.
*No dragons.
*No, being a collector of Legendary artifacts, weapons or otherwise. You're an assassin, not a treasure hunter.
*Please be mindful of other players.
*Your character should not be a happy-go-lucky murdering jerk. Senseless murder will end up with a writ of assassination on your head. Needless violence brings bad attention to the Sanctuary.
