Amaund motierre should i kill

If you choose to kill her, you get one more mission. If you join you get a whole questline of varied quests. A hooded woman known as Astrid tells you that she is from the Dark Brotherhood and that you owe a debt to them.

To repay it, you must simply kill one of the three captives in the shack to kill one is optional. Kill all three to impress Astrid if you want. Naturally, beginning this quest forever bars you from joining the Dark Brotherhood. Destroying the Dark Brotherhood prevents access to a number of lucrative quests. It does yield a good amount of valuable loot, though most of it is also available if you join them.

This dreadful Black Sacrament thing You can then tell him to go on, and he will continue, "As I said, I want you to kill several people. You'll find the targets, as well as their manners of elimination, quite varied.

I'm sure someone of your disposition will probably even find it enjoyable. But you should know that these killings are but a means to an end. For they pave the way to the most important target. The real reason I'm speaking with a cutthroat in the bowels of this detestable crypt. For I seek the assassination of Regardless of how you choose to respond, Amaund will end with "Rexus will now give you two items which must be passed along to your superior.

The sealed letter will explain everything that needs to be done. The amulet is quite valuable - you can use it to pay for any and all expenses. When spoken to after the attack on the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary , Amaund will be shocked to see you: "What is it? I said I didn't wish to But I had heard You mustn't think I had anything to do with that!

I wanted the Emperor dead! The true Emperor! I still do! It was Maro! Why, this is astounding news! Wonderful news! Lost souls cry out to her, for vengeance, and she sends her children to aid them, to take vengeance for them. That is our part of the contract.

Their part, in the end, is to surrender their souls to Sithis. So are we permitted to kill others, outside of this holy contract? Of course we are. Often necessity demands it; a guard here, a witness there. Death is part of the shadow that cloaks us By killing that chef in Markarth I did not anger the Night Mother.

He died because he saw my face, no other reason. The Night Mother did not see his death, nor the deaths of those lost souls who cry out to her, as an affront. And Amaund? If I kill the lost soul who cried out to her, have I insulted the Night Mother? Because, I did get vengeance for him.

I killed the Emperor who vexed him so. The Night Mother does not promise you a long life of peace after you cry out to her. No, she promises only vengeance, and through my blade, she has delivered. Contract complete. His life after my blade cleaved through the Emperor's flesh is no longer her concern. However, we live in a practical world.

If we make a habit of killing those who cry out to the Night Mother, fewer will cry out to her. Will she care?

I'll not make a habit of it Those who wish her attention invoke the Black Sacrament. But, if all the ritual is, is a bid for the Night Mother's attention If the Emperor had time to do so, I'm sure he would have performed the Black Sacrament correctly. But, he performed in spirit what others have done since ages past The Emperor, the Empire, everything has become more irrelevant than ever since destruction of the Septim Dynasty.

Depending on the definition of "irrelevant", of course The concept of "Dragonborn Emperor" became irrelevant in the moment that the Amulet of Kings was shattered. Worthiness to sit on the Ruby Throne was determined by the credibility of military achievement years after Ocato was assassinated. The concept of an empire ruled by humans, however, has not. Irrelevant as in the current Empire is not as important as the Imperials tries to make themselves to be. What was relevant: Before the Avatar of Akatosh sealed the gates of Oblivion permanently, the Dragonborn Emperors were relevant.

They became irrelevant, unimportant to governance of the Continent. The Empire is not as important as the Imperial Propaganda claims because the Provinces can get by. Albeit with greater difficulty However, the Empire cannot exist without the Provinces respecting and acknowledging its Central Government's rule.

Moreover, it is hinted during the Fifth game Skyrim that the current Empire faces hidden threats from the Thalmor and a direct threat from a foreign power. The opposite certainly couldn't be more clear, because the Thalmor's indirect campaign to destabilize the Empire through the Stormcloak Rebellion is an indicator that they see the Empire as relevant.

A relevant threat still in their way.
