The Night Mother is most likely Mephala, who is just trolling the Dark Brotherhood. You have to remember, that the Dark Brotherhood was once part of the Morag Tong (a dunmeri Assasin guild). The Morag Tong worshipped Mephala, the daedric Prince of Sex, Murder and Plots, but after they began to worship Vivec instead of Mephala, some people didn't want that, they left the Morag Tong and BAM the Dark Brotherhood came to existence. Eventually, Mephala came and thought "Hey how about i just troll these guys who still worship me?", she began to speak through a corpse, calling herself the "Night Mother" and you can imagine the rest. I know this is a bit late but actually before  Aetherius, Oblivion and Mundus there is only the void.

Sithis sparked the creation of the Aedras and the Daedras. And the Dark Brotherhood was never a part of Morag Tong. The Morag Tong is only at Morrowind which is composed of dark elves while the Night Mother was a human and she didnt live at Morrowind. Her house was burned by people when they knew what she did to her children and they thought she died there. After that a man heard her voice and she called him the first Listener and thats where the Dark Brotherhood started. Yes Morag Tong is older than the brotherhood but the brotherhood was never a part of them. The brotherhood tried to defeat the Morag Tong when they went to Morrowind but they just couldnt so they just focused on the other provinces.
