A member of the Dark Brotherhood must follow 5 rules known as 'The Five Tenets'. If they break one, they will need to defeat "The Wrath of Sithis" to return to the Dark Brotherhood. The five tenets are:

1. Never dishonor the Night Mother. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Sithis.
2. Never betray the Dark Brotherhood or its secrets. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Sithis.
3. Never disobey or refuse to carry out an order from a Dark Brotherhood superior. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Sithis.
4. Never steal the possession of a Dark Brother or Dark Sister. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Sithis.
5. Never kill a Dark Brother or a Dark Sister. To do so is to invoke the wrath of Sithis.



This just came to my mind.... what exactly was the Wrath of Sithis?

Well played sir!

Hehe thanks, seriously though, they would send a Wraith after you.

The wrath of Sithis is a mere Wraith. Pish posh. I'll invoke him. Muwhahaha! :flame: :

The first thing that occurs is a dream in which you are told that a spectral assassin has been sent to kill you. This isn't some simply attack however, it won't strike until you least expect it.

Occasionally from then on you find evidence that something has been watching you, and it is clear that it wants you to know this: obvious scuff marks are found outside your door or you notice a shadowed figure lounging in a tree outside your window - only to disappear moments later. Occasionally these creatures will even resort to pranks, you wake up one night and all of the chamber pots have disappeared, or the contents of several locked chests are switched around. These may happen several times a day, or you may go weeks without noticing anything, and the most insidious part of all of this? The spectral assassin will never kill you, it just keeps you in a state of constant fear.

Unless you figure this out, if someone somehow managed to realize this they'd be discovered inside out the next morning.

Wow, sounds quite interesting actually. I wish they would implement this into Skyrim, or was it already implemented into Oblivion without us knowing? Lol
