This is a wallpaper i made for myself on the Dark Brotherhood; an assassins guild from the game Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. Because im such a nerd The horse's name is Shadowmere, she is the red eyed, black (well, purple) immortal assassin's horse the very cute Lucien Lachance gives you as a sign of the family's love

The apple is of course one of Lula's poison apples <3 and the handprint is the logo for the dark brotherhood.

The writing over the handprint is an excerpt from one of the books in game; Brothers of Darkness. Which is, of course, on the dark brotherhood.

Link to the book's contents on uespwiki:

The highlighted writing in the middle with the blood is the question asked by the sanctuary door

I personally don't think it's that bloody or scary, and it's no creepier than the sanctuary door

Edit: I took off the 'm' rating, as i've seen some other stuff on deviant art that's darker than this and they're fine with a normal rating.
