Let's kill someone!
Sorry if this belongs in the help section. Anyway, what the title says. I'm in the need for some assassin-suited armor on my khajiit sneaky-guy, so I'd like to hit up the DB as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Act :)

You can start as soon as you leave the scripted intro area. Simply head to windhelm and find the boy who is preparing the black sacrament. Just ask a barkeep for rumours, you will find his house eventually. After that quest he gives you, wait a few days and your in! (you need to sleep in a bed for the dark brotherhood to contact you after a courier hands you the 'black hand' note)

The Thieves Guild has sexy sneaky Nightingale Armor, if you're into sneaky.

I am, actually XD. How early can you find them? and where? I read there is some guy you can bribe to tell you or something, but I forget haha. Oh, and thanks Senatour. Guess I should head to Wildhelm. There's like 5 quests there anyway XD

This is for custom titles?
That would be in Riften. A Black-Briar will stop you and tell you he's watching you. Bribe him to find out about Aretino.

If it's the Thieve's Guild you were asking for, just walk into the marketplace and Brynjolf will walk up to you to test out your skills. Keep doing what he says and you're in the Thieve's Guild.

Doesn't look very good on Khajiit becouse of helmet... kinda makes your face flat.

Is there something that leads up to the Dark Brotherhood? I am level 36 and I still have not seen any clues to the DB. I have asked around at Windhelm and no one has any rumors. Help me out here. I feel I am missing out.

When i set foot in Windhelm I got a letter. i then got a misc quest. i wont go into further detail but that is how i ended up in the DB. I am only a level 9. havent done much sneaking attacks or anything. I think they will find you eventually if you do that misc quest.
