The Dark Brotherhood Forever!

Murder for Mother

When you reach the newly claimed Dawnstar Sanctuary, the Night Mother tells you to approach her. Do as she asks, and she informs you that somewhere in Skyrim, the Black Sacrament has been completed, and someone wishes to pay the Dark Brotherhood for their services. You are to meet them and gain further information on that target.

Travel to the location where the contact wishes to speak to you. They quickly hand over a payment, along with instructions on how to find their target and kill them. This is a simple assassination, and one that pays.

• Leveled gold pieces

The contacts and targets are randomly chosen from the following lists (they won’t be the same each time):

Contacts

• A nervous patron at Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm
• A wary outlaw at the Bee and Barb in Riften
• A corrupt agent at the Penitus Oculatus Outpost in Dragon Bridge
• A scheming servant at the Keep in Markarth
• A desperate gambler at the Barracks in Windhelm
• A blasphemous priest at the Temple of Kynareth in Whiterun
• A dishonored skald at the Bards College in Solitude
• An indolent farmer at the Vilemyr Inn in Ivarstead
• An grief-stricken chef at the Windpeak Inn, here in Dawnstar
• An unemployed laborer at the Frostfruit Inn in Rorikstead

Targets

• A visiting noble at Dragonsreach in Whiterun
• A big laborer at Katla’s Farm
• An itinerant lumberjack in Morthal, at the logging camp
• A reckless mage in the Frozen Hearth Inn in Winterhold.
• A seasoned hunter, just outside Falkreath
• A poor fishwife, on the Riften Docks
• A grim shieldmaiden walking the streets of Markarth
• A traveling dignitary in Solitude
• A coldhearted gravedigger, who tends to work in the Hall of the Dead in Windhelm
• A beautiful barbarian, in Ivarstead

Conclusion

Approach your target, who is usually within the walls of a city or other highly populated location, and quickly dispatch them. To deal with any guards or others who see you, use the same techniques you did in previous Dark Brotherhood missions.

Postquest Activities

Once the target is dead, this objective automatically starts again. Return to the Night Mother and locate your next contact.
