And yet even Morag Tang began as the Empire sancitioned assassins, who were used by Empire to eliminate political threats. It wasn't until Night Mother took charge and began to tell them who to eliminate. In 2 E 430, with the bloody massacre of the family of the Last Akaviri Potentate, the Dark Brotherhood was born. Morag Tang was still the guild that done Imperial contracts, but I think they most opperated in Morrowind. More then likely they have declined after Empire left and then according to one member of Thieve's guild, they were forced to scatter to nine winds after Red Mountain errupted. Although Ulens seem to have employed Morag Tang and if you are a member of Dark Brotherhood, on Solstheim, you will be constantly attacked by Morag Tang as appearantly Dark Brotherhood is an illigal guild in Morrowind and Morag Tang is in control there of that niech.
