Elder Scrolls Online: Dark Brotherhood Second Impressions

I knew what they were, a guild of assassins, killing those who were marked for death. After going through this new DLC for The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel Unlimited I have a much deeper understanding for what they do and what they are. They're called Dark Brotherhood for a reason, this DLC is fantastically dark.
