Guys, it has come to my attention that a certain mod, Dark Brotherhood Chronicles: Consequences might be coming out for Skyrim, i have played their previous one, Awakening, and i think we should give them a few ideas since we have a lot.

Hi im new to the forums and i had a look for things to do with the db and this looked perfect!

Now i have a few quest ides and some are quite long, and this is my first idea:

"New Rivals"
Now i dont know if its a good idea or not so would like feedback

The quest starts off when you get a message from the db courier (like someone mensioned before) and he/she will tell you to talk to a ghost called Nirarna in the Shrine of Sithis because she has a quest for you and the courier leaves and this activates a quest called "Last Request". Now I don't know if that's already a quest so would like some feedback.

So when you go to the Shrine she tells you she want revenge! you then ask who and why? she tells you its a man called Arlon and he is located in the shrine and that she wants him dead for murdering her. you then ask why did he kill you? she then tells you that its none of your concern. When you locate him you then have to kill him and none of the other members seem to care. Then you get a new part of the quest to search the body and he has just normal db clothes and a ebony dagger and a letter with the title URGENT BUSINESS you then go back and tell Nirarna that he is dead but there was a note adressing Urgent business she then asks if she can have a look and she removes it from your inventory. She tells you its bad news and that you should tell someone in the db. Nirarna then gives you 800 gold for the assination and the letter and the quest has finished.

Now a new quest begins "Urgent business" you first go to tell nazir in the dawnstar sanctuary. You may have a look at the letter and it says something along the lines of; Urgent business meet us in the Bee and Barb tonight When we can discuse our plans against the Dark Brotherhood! Now if you do go there without completing the rest of the quest first then you will not see anyone than just the normal customers. So when you show nazir the letter and he tells you to see a mage called Sisgar. You then ask why you must see him? Nazir tells you that Sisgar is a master conjurer and that Sisgar could know some magic to make you look like Arlon. You then tell Nazir you will do it. You then leave and go to the Markarth santuary where Sisgar is. you tell Sisgar and he asks you to take him to the dead body of Arlon. You then go to the shrine of Sithis and show sisgar the body and sisgar tells you he will have to make a potion which will take a while and thats the end of " Urgent Business"

Ok so that im not wasting any time doing more i would like fedback on what ive already done please and im plannin for the next back MORE VIOLENCE so don't worry if you want more of the gory stuff thanks very much :))

The next part i was thinking was that the db courier then a bit later on in about a day in skyrim to find you tell you to return to sisgar because he has the potion ready you then get the quest "New Rivals" You have to go back and take the potion from sisgar and sisgar tells you to take just before you enter the bee and barb and to make sure no one sees you as its a bit weird for someone to turn into another person. Then you have to go to the Bee and Barb at night and the new assassins are ther so you have to find a place in private and take the potion and you will turn into Arlon! You then have to enter the Bee and Barb where the assassins will be down in the cellar underneath the building when you go down you will then get a forced message so you can not kill them. they tell you that the attack is ready and that they have placed a small army just outside the shrine of sithis you start to transform back into yourself and then they will all attack you imidiately and there is 4 of them all together and they wear a mix of db and the thieves guild armour and are using different types of ebony and elven weapons and once you have killed them you then have to return to the shrine of sithis and defend it with your life.

Well, about the idea itself, there should be no 'revenge', simply because of the fact all existence is in fact the plan of sithis. If there is something like revenge it means that something has gone wrong, which means that Sithis is not in fact all that all-knowing and great as we think, it means he is loosing control.

I suggest you make quests in a little format like this:
Name:
Type: (Kill someone, get something, transport something, go somewhere)
Objective:
Description:
 

death raider

Thalmor Ambassador
Name:"New Rivals"
Type: Defend
Objective: Destroy rival assassins
Description: Defend the Shrine of Sithis from enemy assassins. Once completed tell Nazir and you will be awarded 1000 gold and different types of stamina, magica and health potions.

and about that comment of sithis losing control is that he isnt its that the person you are told to kill is a traitor

"A weapon fit for a killer"

This is an another idea of an dark brotherhood quest. What could happen is that a high ranking dark brother hood member could tell you that he/she has an idea for a weapon for you, but they need you to collect the items which go as following

the base: The creator asks you to find a weapon . which is either in a cave/dungeon/ruin/etc, or being carried by an NPC

the enchantment. He asks you to collect a ring with a special enchantment (found of course in a cave or dungeon of some sort

The soul: the creator then asks you to takes a soul gem and assassinate a certain NPC, saying "only his/her soul will do"

in the end, you get a weapon similar to the ebony blade: with every death blow, it becomes stronger

I would love to recruit Shadowscales? Like when you are doing a quest and you see a random Argonian appear asking about DB ad he asks to be recruited and you have to challenge him to see if he is worth it?

And maybe add a Class mechanic into it, like at the beginning Astrid or another leader asks you what do you specialize in, and your answers are:

"I use Illusion magic, along side my dagger to unleash my wrath" (Nightblade)

"I follow the classic bow and dagger path, forever haunting my contracts" (Assassin)

I only know of 2 but I am sure there are more paths and for each path you get other weapons/abilities/training that actually serve a purpose to you! I was thinking of adding a Nightingale path, but it is more of a Thieves Guild thing, or maybe if you become a Nightingale you unlock the path?

Just some ideas that would be cool :D

SHadowscales and Morag Tong carry a great piece of the lore of assassins, it is smart to use them as people who played the past elder scrolls will enjoy that.

I suggest reading up on stuff like Sithis, Anuiel and the divines, you may find great inspiration there.

Problem with the Morag Tong, they hate the Dark Brotherhood which was a group that broke off of the Morag Tong :p

Name:"You will not prevail"
Type: Kill someone
Objective: Go to enemy fort and kill Shorga the leader of the assassins.
Description: After you have completed new rivals you can go and carry on with your own business. Then db courier tells you to meet Irnbrog in the Markarth sanctuary.

When you get there Irnbrog will tell you to kill enemy assassin leader Shorga. He then tells you there is a bonus if you get in and pretend to be on their side and not to get caught when killing Shorga. Irnbrog gives you enemy assassin armour which will make you look like the enemy.

Safe way: When you get there you will be stopped by guards and they ask you to pay 100 gold to get in and if you pay you can go in. Once you get in you go to the throne room without any fuss. When in throne room if you got in safely without being atacked you can go in and walk toward the room of the assassins leader but you will be stopped for ID you can then bribe,persuade or brawl. The bribe is 150 the persuade is useless and if you win brawl you aloud to go and see the leader then assassinate him, but there is a maid and you can get rid of her by telling her theres a rat infestation she will then go and you can kill the leader who can die in one hit. If you dont get rid of maid you fail bonus and all the guards will attack you.

Risk way: You can say no to the guards and get attacked which will then fail the bonus part. When you get in you have to fight your way to the throne room. One inside you will be attacked then go into leaders room and kill him.

Reward: Once you get back to Irnbrog he will give you 1450 gold and The waraxe of fear which will scare away anything up to level 20 for 30 seconds.

Bonus: Will allow you to have him as a potential follower. He is a master at conjuration and destruction magic.

Then you kill the last target.

Reward: 600 gold and bow of Sithis which has an enchantment of the poison of Sithis which someone came up with earlier.

Name: " You can't keep a secret from me!"
Type: Find out information
Objective: Find out what the leaders are hiding
Description: Once "Rumors must die" is complete new quest starts "You can't keep a secret from me" then you have to ask Babette if she knows anything she tells you to go to the Temple of Darkness in The Reach. Now the Temple of Darkness is for db members only and the Dark priests of Sithis who dwell there. Its a large room with an alter of blood and sacrificing tables and dead bodies hanging from the walls. There is also a doorway at the end of the temple which is locked but it comes in later on. You see the Priests of Sithis and all db leaders including Nazir and Babette ( all leaders should be essential and priests too). One of the priests tell you that the db used to have a guild for those that have surved Sithis well and have shown true cunning and love for death. People come here also to celebrate death by bringing sacrifices.

The Sithis priest tells you that the leaders have came to the agrement as the db are desperate now that a new assassin group has come to Skyrim that they have to start the guild again. You then ask why it stopped in the first place. The priest tells you that other members questioned the guild and they said it was not right to do things behind their back some members then got restless and went against their leaders. The priests then stopped it all by killing all those who rebelled then the leaders decided that it was time to end the guild for the db's sake and Sithis.

ok ill be adding to this soon :)
