:''The Night Mother met Sotha Sil in her salon, lit only by the moon. She was cruelly beautiful dressed in a simple silk black robe, lounging across her divan. With a gesture, she dismissed her red-cloaked guards and offered the sorcerer some wine. “You've only just missed your friend, the Duke,” she whispered. “He was very unhappy, but I think we will solve his problem for him.” “Did he hire the Morag Tong to assassinate the Emperor?” asked Sotha Sil. “You are straight-forward, aren't you? That's good. I love plain-speaking men: it saves so much time. Of course, I cannot discuss with you what the Duke and I talked about,” she smiled. “It would be bad for business.” — [[Lore:2920, Sun's Height (v7)]]'' A description of the Night Mother, leader of the [[Lore:Morag Tong|Morag Tong]]</noinclude>
At the head of the {{Lore Link|Dark Brotherhood}} hierarchy is the {{Lore Link|Night Mother}}, an immortal spirit who is revered and worshipped by the Brotherhood. She is only ever met face-to-face in very exceptional circumstances and is seen as a phantom-like form. When a person prays for the death of another, the Night Mother hears and passes on the details of the prayer to her Listener. At this point, the Listener informs a Speaker, who then goes to meet the hiring party in order to draw up a contract. According to Dark Brotherhood beliefs, she is the wife of [[Lore:Sithis|Sithis]] and bore five children. It is said that she and her children were the first sacrifices to Sithis many years ago.
It is unclear who the Night Mother is exactly. In the book ''{{Lore Link|Fire and Darkness|Fire and Darkness: The Brotherhoods of Death}}'', the Night Mother is identified as the Daedra Prince [[Lore:Mephala|Mephala]]. In another book entitled ''{{Lore Link|Sacred Witness}}'', the Night Mother is identified as a former {{Lore Link|Thieves Guild}} member. And in the well known [[Lore:2920, The Last Year of the First Era|2920]] series of books she is seen as head of the Morag Tong, because the Dark Brotherhood only split well into the second eraSecond Era. The Night Mother is likely to have lived during the {{Lore Link|Second Era}},{{Ref|{{Cite book|The Brothers of Darkness}}}} although the woman represented by the statue in [[Lore:Bravil|Bravil]] lived in the First Era,{{Ref|{{Cite book|Daughter of the Niben}}}} which suggests the two are not the same person.<noinclude>
