Back to the original point of this thread...

I feel that the Dark Brotherhood can best be descfibed by the D&D alignment system, in which they would be Lawful Evil.

This means that what they do is, inherently, evil: they murder for profit. But, they stick to a strict code, and they do what they do for a cause. Looking at the tenets of the brotherhood we can easily see this code, and their cause is obeying the will of Sithis and the Night Mother.
