Stop the Traitor!
When you arrive at your destination, the rest of the Black Hand will enter the hatch at the feet of the Night Mother’s statue. Follow suit and enter the hatch after them. This will begin a cutscene where the Night Mother appears while the Black Hand requests her guidance.
During the event, you’ll be locked in place as the traitor reveals themselves, saying they have been plotting their revenge for years, since the brotherhood murdered their mother. He’ll then cut down two of the Black Hands. You’ll be free to engage the traitor and end their treachery at that point.
Speak with the Night Mother
The Night Mother will approach you after the fight, saying she has been watching you rise through the Dark Brotherhood with great interest.
She’ll then reveal that she’s known about the traitor for a long time and let everything play out to kill off the weaker members. She’ll also mention that your greatness has been foretold and that you are now the Listener.
Return Home
After speaking with the Night Mother, she’ll permit you to loot anything you’d like in the tomb. Make sure to leave no stone unturned, as you cannot return once you leave. When you’re ready, speak with the Night Mother once more. If you’ve kept the Blade of Woe this whole time, she will release its true power, making it much stronger. You’ll then be sent back to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. Once you arrive, speak with your newly appointed advisor, Arquen, to complete the quest!
