Can You Save Anyone in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary?

The Dark Brotherhood is a mysterious and dark organization in the world of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. As a member, you are tasked with carrying out contracts and taking out targets. But what about the members of the Brotherhood themselves? Can you save anyone in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary?

Direct Answer:

You can save the Dark Brotherhood itself, but not its members, if you continue with the questline and see it through.

The Members of the Brotherhood:

Unfortunately, the members of the Dark Brotherhood are scripted to die in various questlines. This includes characters like Astrid, the leader of the Brotherhood, and Cicero, a loyal follower. No matter what you do, these characters will meet their demise, and there is no way to save them.

• Astrid: Astrid is already married and her husband is essential until he dies in the quest where you destroy the Dark Brotherhood or when the Pentius Oculatus does. In both of these quests, Astrid dies, and there is no way to keep her alive.
• Cicero: Cicero will also die, regardless of what you do. He can be killed, but his death is scripted, and he will not be able to be revived.

The Sanctuary:

The Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary is the headquarters of the organization. It is located in Dawnstar and is where the members of the Brotherhood carry out their business. The Sanctuary is a sacred place, and it is here that the members of the Brotherhood come to seek guidance and solace.

• Saving the Sanctuary: The Sanctuary itself can be saved, but not the members of the Brotherhood. This is because the Sanctuary is a physical location, and it can be destroyed. However, the members of the Brotherhood are individuals who are scripted to die.

Consequences of Not Saving the Sanctuary:

If you do not save the Sanctuary, the Dark Brotherhood will be destroyed, and the members of the Brotherhood will be killed. This will have severe consequences for the world of Skyrim, as the Brotherhood played a significant role in the game’s story.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, while you can save the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, you cannot save the members of the Brotherhood. Astrid and Cicero, along with other members of the Brotherhood, are scripted to die, and there is no way to change this. The Sanctuary, on the other hand, is a physical location that can be destroyed, but this will have severe consequences for the world of Skyrim.

Additional Tips:

• Killing Cicero: If you decide to kill Cicero, he will join you again after the Dark Brotherhood main quest is completed. You can use him as a follower, and he will be available in the new Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary located in Dawnstar.
• Hiding Bodies: When you kill members of the Brotherhood, you will have to hide their bodies to avoid detection. You can do this by dragging them under the bed or throwing them in the lake. This will earn you bonus experience.
• Rewards: Completing contracts and saving the Sanctuary will reward you with gold, items, and other goodies. Make sure to explore the Sanctuary and interact with the members of the Brotherhood to earn these rewards.
