The dark brotherhood is a rumored assassin's group in Skyrim, who can be a bit tough to find and join. Because they work in the shadows and deal with assassinations, that's kind of the whole point of them is to be hard to find. So how do you get started on the path to becoming an assassin? Well, basically by just going out and being one without their permission. Turns out they don't like competition claiming to be them, and they'll find you pretty quick when you do it.
Step 1)Get a job as a Dark Brotherhood assassin.
Head to Windhelm and find Aventus Aretino inside of his former home here. He is performing the dark sacrament that is supposed to be used to call the Dark Brotherhood to hire them for a job. Speak to him and he will assume you are from them and offer you the job. Accept and you'll be given a quest to go kill Grelod the Kind in Riften.
Step 2)Kill Grelod the Kind.
This woman is seriously in the absolute wrong line of work. She's the person who runs the orphanage in Riften, and she hates children with a passion. No matter what kind of a character you play, killing her shouldn't be any sort of a problem, even morally. You don't even have to be stealthy to do this at all, she's so well liked that no one even reports that you are the one who killed her, and the children of the orphanage all throw a little party if you go stab her in the face in front of them. Don't worry about stealth at all, you are looking to get noticed, right?
Step 3)Wait for a while in any major city.
Wait a day or two, and then hang out in any major city. A courier will find you with a very ominous letter after enough time has passed. once you get this note, go ahead and find a bed to sleep in and you'll be kidnapped and made an official member of the Dark Brotherhood.
Once you've been made a member, you can do additional jobs for them, and rise in the ranks the more work you do. There's some pretty good rewards that come with membership as well, including a pretty cool horse that can't die.
