What possible reason could you have to think that when it's EXACTLY like the door leading to the Dark Brotherhood. "What is the color of night" and "What is the music of death" is same question format and the same melodramatic poet style and it's a big black door with a skull on it. If the Volkihars are supposed to be unique, they should get a unique way of hiding that doesn't blatantly rip off the Dark Brotherhood.


Well for one the location seems very strange for an dark brotherhood sanctuary. The doors was according to the article placed very near a lake, and the Volkhiar vampires lives in caverns beneath lakes. Reason number two, we do not know it the skull on the door is an actual skull or a more "painted" art kinda thing like the one the dark brotherhood had in Oblivion. If its just a skull nailed to a door I highly doubt it would be a dark brotherhood sanctuary. And at last, talking doors or entrances has been done prior the dark brotherhood in Oblivion, its one password demanding door in Bloodmoon aswell. I really hope the dark brotherhood has its sanctuary somewhere else than by a lake. I like them to be more urban ;)

its just the door to the skyrim branch of the emo kids of cheydinhal club (dark brotherhood)

I'd say more like Goth/dark god worshipers.

I think they are in, I'm not sure if they are joinable, but I'd sure want them to be. And I think the black door is some kind of quest dungeon, that has nothing to do with the DB - to easy to find for that to be DB, or vampire clan.

No vampires vs werewolf stuff. Only happened a few minor times in lore. If the Volkihar should fight anynone, it should be the Order vampires of Cyrodiil.

The Volkihar wouldn't have a magical talking door that could let other's in...They are paranoid of the outside world. Most likely the only means of reaching their lair would be to phase through the ice...or a mortal slipping in a broken patch in the ice and swimming down there. Besides, the Volkihar wouldn't need a door if they can pass through the ice at will. It's gotta be the Dark Brotherhood.

I think the DB is most likely. However, necromancers are also probably almost as likely. Buuut, if it's not either of those, my bet would be on Volkihar. I'm hoping it's something Volkihar or necromancer related, just because I'd love to see something "big" in the game involving necromancers or the Volkihar.

It fits the description of DB sancutary. God I hope that vampires are still in though.

Actually, when I first read the thing about the "music of life" my first thought were simply death. I'm not sure why, but u suppose the place is just a cool lair for vampires or necromancers. Nothing special.


Yeah the music of life question gave away it being DB.

"What is the music of life?"
"Ugh...err...umm... Sanguine, my brother?"
"..."

I think it's the Dark Brotherhood, personally.

Todd himself said something about "You've found my jewel." to the journalist, (can't quote exactly, closed the article) so I think it is more likely the Volkihar Vampire Clan. You never know, though. It could be either. If that WAS the Dark Brotherhood, I'm super excited that we now know where to look for it when we get in game. xD

There was a part in the article where the journalist said that he heard drum beats when he approached the door. Sounds alot like Oblivion's DB door. Todd waqs surprised when the Ausgamer dude found it aswell

so by reading these posts ive come to the conclusion it isnt your vampires, door with a skull on it so when you answer whatever question its answering the black hand appears on the skull of the door, so clean up your stained pantaloons,

Well in oblivion the entrance to the DB also asked us a question. Going by that logic and the confirmation of the dark brotherhood and not vampires or necromancer factions, the only likely answer is yes, that is the entrance to the lair of the dark brotherhood. There has been zero evidence of vampires even being in skyrim, so speculation in that regard is pointless.
