I don't believe the hypothesis that the Night Mother is Mephala either. Not really a hypothesis when devs have strongly pointed at it. To put it simple.

Who the Dark Brotherhood's Night Mother truly is? - trexalfa I'm not really a fan of the Dark Brotherhood as it was depicted in Oblivion or Skyrim. That's a boring kind of evil, which is a shame, because a lot of their quests are masterfully done.

I understand its fan base, though, by which I mean I just smh.

Sermon 22 speaks to the nature of the Night Mother. This is Sermon 22 of the 36 Lessons of Vivec which discusses Vivec taking over the Tong and Mephala being pissed. There is also  Fire and Darkness which out right states the Night Mother is Mephala.
