"I-I-I'm hunting - well, not, um, hunting, but, um, looking for - the D-Dark Brotherhood. They're, um, assassins. Experts. You m-m-might've heard of it in stories or if you particularly like, um, old history, but recently they've not, um, cropped up. It was said that they were, ah, destroyed at the start of the Fourth Era, but recently that's been, well, disproved. I was in Morthal, um, investigating a, this door, rumoured to be cursed. I thought it might be to do with the, um, Brotherhood. I was s-searching around the-the shore for a-a-anything m-more w-when I s-saw w-what happened."

(Right, so since I've not given this a time yet, I think I'll say it's pre-Skyrim and pre-Stormcloaks, but in an alternate world so the DB could be destroyed now, or could assassinate the Emperor, or burn down the Emperor's ship while pelting it with sweetrolls, or whatever)
