I think that it should be assumed that even if Vivec happens to be right in some areas, he may be totally wrong in other areas. I think this is an area in which he's significantly wrong, either intentionally or unintentionally. Or he's only poetically speaking the truth in the sense that by murdering the Dark Brotherhood is also worshiping Mephala. That being said, my strong opinion is that Sithis is definitely a higher authority than Mephala.

Alternatively, maybe Mephala could be seen as an aspect of the Night Mother, rather than the other way around. I have my own theories about this and what the Night Mother's other aspects may be that I'll probably decide to post at some point, especially if other people seem interested.
