Hi duders!
So, i've been thinking, in the Dark Brotherhood questline you meet this quite mad jester, Cicero? Remember?
In the Dawnstar Sanctuary, you have the choice to either kill him or let him live. Now, i've been thinking...
Cicero wants to go back to the Old Ways of the brotherhood. The Five Tenets are as follows:
1. Never dishonor the Night Mother. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis. (Astrid did this)
2. Never betray the Dark Brotherhood or its secrets. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis. (Astrid did this).
3. Never disobey or refuse to carry out an order from a Dark Brotherhood superior. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis. (If you let Cicero live, you break this tenet)
4. Never steal the possessions of a Dark Brother or Dark Sister. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis.
5. Never kill a Dark Brother or Dark Sister. To do so is to invoke the Wrath of Sithis. (Astrid almost broke this tenet by wanting to kill Cicero).
So, what should you do? Everything Cicero wanted to do was go back to the Old Ways. But you break a tenet if you let Cicero live, and break a tenet if you kill him. In my opinion, the Brotherhood should reinvoke the Tenets.
Without them, they're just assassins with no discipline. And the Keeper is a sacred position that the Night Mother would probably not like if her Keeper was lost. But Lucien LaChance (the Spectral Assassin), comments that killing Cicero is the will of Sithis.
God damn, I need to lie down and think a bit on this.
