The Rise and Fall of the Dark Brotherhood (A Chronicle of Assassins for Sleep)

Settle in for the complete history of the Dark Brotherhood in this feature-length Elder Scrolls bedtime lore documentary. We delve into the shadows to uncover the full story of Tamriel's most feared guild of assassins, from their bloody origins to their potential rebirth.
