8. Death Incarnate
Angry that his Cousin has been killed by an assassin from the Dark Brotherhood (that's you), the Emperor has instructed Commander Maro to ransack the Brotherhoods hideout, kill all inside and burn it to the ground, which he does, along with his henchmen the Penitus Oculatus. The Dragonborn then battles his way through the burning sanctuary, witnessing members of the Brotherhood falling in battle, before reaching Nazir, the only surviving member. After crawling into the Nightmothers coffin, both the Dragonborn and Nazir escape the asylum, after finding out they had been betrayed by Astrid, the groups leader! After killing Astrid, The Dragonborn is then tasked with rebuilding the Dark Brotherhood in a new sanctuary, which the player can even decorate with a torture room. Lovely.
