In Skyrim, the Dark Brotherhood has no listener to hear the Night Mother and only hears about The Black Sacrament through rumors. Cicero, one of two remaining Dark Brotherhood assassins outside of Skyrim (the other believed to be a deserter), took the Night Mother's corpse from Bravil to the last remaining Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. By the end of the war, the Brotherhood was near total destruction once again. The Dark Brotherhood managed to survive until the Great War, when one after another, each Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary was destroyed. Due to the events that occurred concurrent with The Oblivion Crisis, the Dark Brotherhood in Cyrodiil was crippled. The Dark Brotherhood has been struggling for survival ever since the end of the Third Era.
