The Dark Brotherhood has become a staple of The Elder Scrolls series since it first debuted in Oblivion. The faction has so much fan acclaim that when it had been initially omitted from TESO, fans were outraged and did not settle down until it finally appeared.

The faction focuses on a cult of Sithis who follows The Night Mother and has a very rigid hierarchal system and tenents that must be followed or suffer the Wrath of Sithis. This faction contains some of the best questlines the series has produced thus far. Every single person in the faction is considered family, and there are some very tight-knit bonds that are created throughout the series.

10 Oblivion: A Knife In The Dark Began It All

The very first quest ever seen from the Dark Brotherhood is A Knife in the Dark. It’s a nostalgic initiation quest that has to be triggered by the player killing an innocent NPC and then sleeping in a safe location.

If it wasn’t expected, Lucien LaChance showing up causes a pretty solid jump scare, even with the lower quality graphics. This is also where the player is able to kill him and steal his stuff without ever being initiated, which would prevent ever being given the ability to join the faction.

9 Oblivion: The Purification Was Heartbreaking

The Purification is one of those quests that triggers a lot of mixed feelings for the fandom. It hurts to need to kill every one of these NPCs that have become the player’s family, but it is also rewarding to be skipping the ranks and working directly with LaChance now.

At least there are so many poisoned apples out there that if it’s too hard to directly kill everyone, some reverse pickpocketing can make up for it.

8 Oblivion: Honor Thy Mother Shows Just How Important The Night Mother Is

Honor Thy Mother is a quest that banks on a player who’s ready and willing to get revenge. Turns out, the Listener is the fraud who has been framing fan-favorite Lucien LaChance, and the Night Mother has been refusing to speak to him.

Instead of Mathieu Bellamont, the Night Mother chooses the Hero of Kavatch to become her Listener and spread the Brotherhood’s dark purpose, as it is clear that they are far more loyal than Bellamont ever was. It is a fantastic finale to the questline, leaving the player’s thirst for revenge well-stated.

7 Skyrim: Delayed Burial Is Optional But Worth It

An optional quest taking place before the player is even initiated into Skyrim’s Dark Brotherhood is Delayed Burial, though it can still be completed during the first two quests in the series. If it is started after joining, it will just cause some of the options to disappear but will add some different lines as Cicero realizes the player is a sibling.

The player can find the jester Cicero on a quest to get his dear mother to her final resting place, but he has had a wagon wheel break in transit. If they choose to help him and get the nearby farmer to fix the wheel, he will be eternally grateful. If instead, the player turns him into a nearby guard, he will pitch a fit off-screen, and in his rage will slaughter the farmer and his wife. If the player joins the Brotherhood after this, he has some unique lines based on if they helped or hindered him, which is a nice touch from Bethesda.

6 Skyrim: To Kill An Empire Is Full Of Trickery And Deceit

This is a long quest and makes for some really fun interpretations and sets the stage for a brutal betrayal. The player has been given the task from Astrid to disguise themselves as renowned chef the Gourmet and gets to enter the castle where the Emperor is in order to poison his meal. There’s a lot of unique dialogue based on the player’s choices, including what race they are. This includes the player being asked about their fur getting into the food if they are a Khajiit.

In the end, it is revealed that the player has been lead right into a trap by a jealous Astrid, one that springs backward on her and causes some serious consequences for her.

5 Skyrim: Death Incarnate/Destroy The Dark Brotherhood! Is A Split Questline Based On The Player’s Previous Choices

If the player has gone along with joining the Dark Brotherhood, they are subjected to some intense destruction of their family in the quest Death Incarnate. In it, they get to save Nazir, and Cicero comes back if he’d been spared. They are also given the chance to kill the traitorous Astrid, should they be so inclined.

If the player decided against joining and instead wants to take it down, they get to trigger Destroy the Dark Brotherhood! Either way, there are some satisfying battles within the sanctuary. Babette survives no matter what choice the player makes due to being marked as a child. She also never shows up at all within either quest to prevent any confusion, but can be found wandering around the world afterward if the player has Dawngaurd installed.

4 Skyrim: Hail Sithis! Allows The Player To Go Through With The Murder Of The Emperor

Astrid wasn’t lying about the fact someone had legitimately contracted a hit on Emperor Titus Mede II. So after some good sleuthing and a very intense ship boarding, the new Listener gets to plunge the empire into glorious chaos by assassinating the real emperor.

The only downside of this mission is that it has no effect on the rest of the game, which seems like a strange little oversight- all things considered. No mention of his death, no panicky Jarls. It is a quest entirely contained within the Dark Brotherhood and nowhere else.

3 Prove Thy Worth In TESO: Signed In Blood

While the Online Dark Brotherhood questline isn’t the greatest of the bunch according to many fans, it does feature some enjoyable quests. Signed in Blood is the second quest in which the player has to prove that they are capable.

It starts a truly fascinating espionage quest where the player has to hunt down a noble’s estate, break into their house, kill them, and sneak back out. Or of course, the player can bull rush through, but it’s the espionage and stealth that makes it worth playing.

2 Uphold The Tenets In TESO: The Wrath Of Sithis

There’s just something extra satisfying about Dark Brotherhood quests where the point is to go through and kill off a traitor. It’s a common, reoccurring theme, but it makes a lot of sense with how they have set up their infrastructure.

For the first time, it’s not just the player who is involved in killing the traitor or trying to purge a sanctuary that may or may not have actually been involved. Instead, the player is back up for Green-Venom-Tongue as they try to go and kill off Lyra the Black Dragon. It’s a fun little flip of the script.

1 TESO: Litany Of Blood Is Made To Collect Trophies

Litany of Blood was made for the type of players who like long-running collection-style quests. The player obtains a book by the same name as the quest that has 15 names inside of it. Every time the player kills one of these people, they appear on one of the pedestals in the sanctuary.

It’s a massively satisfying quest and fills a completionist urge in a tangible way. The best part is the statues will take on different poses based on the player’s interaction with them during the hit, which can make for a unique setup for each player.
