For other uses, see Dark Brotherhood.

The Dark Brotherhood is a joinable faction in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. The faction specializes in assassination, and, as a result, many of the quests are centered around killing specific targets.

Description[]

An assassination guild, prohibited by law, but unofficially sanctioned by many powers that unofficially use their services. The leader of the Dark Brotherhood is supposedly called the Night Mother.[1]

Joining the Dark Brotherhood[]

To join the Dark Brotherhood, the Hero must complete the quest "Joining the Dark Brotherhood." To do this, they must either kill fifteen city guards or three civilians, and, upon receiving a letter, get a decanter from an alchemist and leave it within a specified house. From there, the Hero must meet with the contact, and will be let into the Dark Brotherhood.

Ranking[]

Ranking in the Dark Brotherhood is categorized into two different parts: The Hero's reputation, and the Hero's skills. To gain reputation, the Hero must complete quests within the guild. They must also meet the skill guidelines, which is the Hero's two highest skills that are associated with the Dark Brotherhood.
