Some say that the Dark Brotherhood is an immortal organization as they serve their Dread Father, that even in death they still roam Tamriel guiding would-be assassins to do the bidding of Sithis. Some believe that the Dark Brotherhood is nothing but hokum created by elders to stop the little ones from wandering far off civilized areas. Those who are knowledgeable hold both thoughts to be true, that they are both myth and reality. But even something that is strong as the Dark Brotherhood experience tough times.
Like a sitting duck in the open, the Brotherhood was among many target underground organizations during two centuries of the fourth era; sanctuaries sacked and invaded, members scattering away for safe harbor, and what hurt them the most is the inability to efficiently acquire and finish contracts, dulling its presence in Tamriel. As the numerous wars progressed across the entirety of the realm, so did the gradual decay of the Brotherhood; its essence seeping away into the cracks of the land.
The strong sanctuary in Cheydinhal eventually met its demise, only four people surviving the plague that has ridden the other homes of their ilk: a faithful Listener, the lone Speaker, and the eccentric Keeper of the unholy matron. A faint glimmer of hope shined upon them with news of a standing sanctuary in Skyrim still standing strong inside a lonely forest down south. And so did the four traveled, past countless roads and vast lands.
A lone standing sanctuary of the Brotherhood, still operational, still delivering souls to the Void. Or are they? So long did the old ways left the Black Door, performing without guidance from the Dread Father, killing without guidance from the Night Mother. They no longer resemble the dark family, only doing it for the coin and not for the glory of Sithis.
The four did move on, reaching the northern shores that kiss the Sea of Ghosts. An apt name for the home they seek that lies within; empty, devoid of the humble servant of Sithis.
It took much work, but now they stand strong, from the faithful three the dark family grew and grew. Finally, it was time to greet Tamriel however they each intend to: a blade in the dark, magic energy from shadowy corners, an unfriendly drink of poison.

Hey guys, finally made the OOC for this. It's weird how we got here from just wanting to start a dying thread.
I'll start the IC once attendance of each member is accounted for.
To those who just happened to stumble upon this and hopes to join, I'm sorry but this is predetermined already. If ever one of us happens to be unavailable for an indefinite amount of time, I'll be open to recruits.
Some rules and other details...
1. This is an 18+ RP. Languages, gory details, adult themes are welcome but keep it classy. If you truly want a very raunchy 18+ content, do so privately within yourselves through PMs or something.
2. Do not get into loud, shouty arguments with your fellow RPers.
3. No godmodding.4. Try to keep posts to one paragraph or more (five decent-length sentences or more).
5. No one-liners. Simple.
6. No OOC lines are to be included in the IC thread, use this one for that.
7. Don't be the guy who, every time there's a weak-ish enemy, one-shot-kills it. Sometimes people like to be creative in the way they kill things so be descriptive.
8. Inter-character relations are fine.9. Post at least once a day. Exceptions can be made if you really couldn't squeeze in one post, or if you haven't been getting alerts.
10. No meta-gaming, whatever it is you have read about in the OOC should not be immediately known by your character unless stated otherwise. You and your character do not share a brain.
11. Questions are encouraged if things are a bit fuzzy to you.
12. Keep story related posts to at most two per person a day, we don't want this to crash to oblivion because of rapid fire replies.
13. Have fun, and lastly...
14. HAVE FUN!!!
