Whispers of Death

Overview
Faction: Dark Brotherhood Quest giver: Arquen Reward: 200, Dark Brotherhood companions

Background
As Listener for the Black Hand, your one duty is to hear the commands of the Night Mother and pass them on to your Speakers. You can repeat this quest once a week.

Walkthrough
All you need to do for this quest is go to the Night Mother statue in Bravil (a.k.a. Lucky Lady), and talk to her. She'll give you the name and location of a client (don't bother trying to find them, they don't exist, plus they're usually on another part of the continent). Head back to the Cheydinhal Sanctuary and tell Arquen. She'll give your share of the earnings for the week (about 200 gold).

This also makes a new Dark Brotherhood member available as a bodyguard to you (he just follows you around and helps you out). More will show up as you repeat the quest.
