InteractionsEdit

Whispers In The DarkEdit

Astrid, of the Dark Brotherhood, requests that the Dragonborn investigate what Cicero has been up to and who he is talking to in the lair of the Night Mother. Hiding inside the Night Mother's coffin and eavesdropping on him, the Dragonborn learns that he is speaking to the Night Mother's remains, hoping she will speak back. Instead, she speaks to the Dragonborn, selecting them as her new Listener.

The Silence Has Been BrokenEdit

The Night Mother mentions a man named Amaund Motierre, who hides out at Volunruud, performing The Black Sacrament. She asks her new Listener to seek out Motierre. Threatened by the Night Mother's authority, Astrid asks the Dragonborn not to speak with Motierre, sending them on another contract instead.

To Kill An EmpireEdit

Eventually, Astrid sends the Listener to meet Motierre, who states that he wants the Emperor killed. After failing to kill the Emperor on the first attempt, the Listener finds him aboard The Katariah. The Dragonborn kills the Emperor, whose final wish is to have whoever set up the contract killed. Killing Motierre, however, is completely optional, with the only benefit being the loot on his corpse. He has a few high valued gems which can also be pickpocketed from him without killing him. Either way, the Dragonborn is rewarded 20,000 .

TriviaEdit
