📋 About This Mod

Description

This mod adds new Dark Brotherhood contracts for the following NPCs:

  • []Nazeem[/]

    []Braith[/]

    []Taarie and Endarie (if they are killed, Gisli will take over the Radiant Raiment shop.)[/]

    []Rolff Stone-Fist[/]

    []Lemkil[/]

    []Thonar Silver-Blood (Contract will be available after No One Escapes Cidhna Mine and killed Madanach.)[/]

    []Elenwen (Contract will be available after Dragonslayer.)[/]

    []Serana (Contract will be available after Kindred Judgement.)[/]

    []Erikur (Contract will be available after The Dainty Sload and Diplomatic Immunity.)[/]

    You can get these contracts from a contract boards in the dining rooms of the Falkreath or Dawnstar Sanctuaries. You can take the contracts and read them to start the quests.

    Just like with the Vanilla contracts, you'll get 3 new dialogue options when you talk to your contracts, after the quest has been accepted. (except for Elenwen since she's aggressive when you enter the Embassy)

    If you press "Yes" to accept the contract, the victim should no longer be essential.

    Requirements

    To kill Braith, you'll need a mod that makes it possible to kill children. I'd recommend Slayable Offspring SKSE, but there are others as well.

    Q: What if I don't want to do a particular contract?

    A: They are all optional and not at all needed to progress, so feel free to ignore the ones you don't want to do. They're just some ways to make a bit more gold, if you like killing. (or like some drama for your RP.)

    Q: All doors at the Embassy have high level locks. Can you make them simpler?

    A: There's actually another way.

    Q: Will you make a version that does <insert idea>?

    A: I have no plans to make any changes for the time being. Feel free to make your own edits though. (see permissions) Please do not ask about this or PM me about it. Thank you.

    Q: If I kill both sisters in Radiant Raiment, will their shop will no longer be available?

    A: After they are killed, Gisli will take over the Radiant Raiment shop.

    Q: Will you include a contract for <insert NPC>?

    A: Depends. If I like the suggestion and I have enough time, I might consider it.

    Q: Does installing/updating/uninstalling on an existing sav
