This is Mythic Dawn armor. Not Dark Brotherhood armor.

Yeah, I knew the DB wouldn't likely be involved in the Emperor's death (heavily). Doesn't seem like their style. As for the Dreugh ecology I'm expecting this because their going to have to explain to the folks who don't read lore as to why the dreugh are walkign on land (ironicly they'd have to put it in a book of lore). I expect at least one book on the amphibious nature of the dreugh.

I cant see how, It is said that you and the Blades fight Assasins in the underworks of the Imperial city, If these men arent DB members, they're some pretty cunning conformist bystanders with the same taste in clothing.

Yeah well, it was already confirmed by the devs. It is Mythic Dawn armor. By the way, rumors say that it's the Mythic Dawn who are after the Emperor, which would definitely explain why the Blades/Imperial Guard are fighting them in that second picture.

How come ive never heard of them~?

None the less ill remain cautiously optomistic this is Db armor until i see Mythic dawn assasin imprinted on the guys head.

Well.. there's no reason to stand igonorant in the face of good evidence.

Just look at their name! "Mythic Dawn" Like starting a new age?, a dawn of the new age if you will? Also this may or may not have to do with the mythic age.

Just throwing out theories.

Because the devs are stingy with info on the Mythic Dawn.

The Mythic Dawn is a sort of evolution of that suicide cult in Mournhold. These guys, however, know the Daedra are coming, want them to do so, and are more than happy to worship them/be their servants, IIRC.

The Mythic Dawn armor looks nothing like the DB armor.

First, it has plate-mail on it. A serious no-no for a proffessional assassin, too loud. Secound, the cloth parts are red. Not black, or grey like DB would be, but stick-right-out red. Finally, it shows too much skin, no real assassin wants to show off that much skin.

The sum it would take to hire the Dark Brotherhood to kill the Emperor would be ..welll. Lets just say it would take the friggin emperor himself to order the assassination it'd cost that much.

In morrowind, where assassination (by the MT) was legal, it cost around 1000 to kill relatively unimportant people. Now, the Emperor of Tamriel, it going to cost a hell of a lot more.

So obviously, the Dawn sends its own people, in their armor, so it is known they slew the emperor, that they're heralding the new age. Etc.
