“The Sanctuary in Skyrim's Pine Forest is the Dark Brotherhood's last remaining refuge in all of Tamriel.

The Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary is the headquarters of the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim. It is located in a hollow just off the road west of Falkreath.
Inside there is a full blacksmith workshop including an anvil, a grindstone and a workbench, along with an alchemy lab and an arcane enchanter, a wood chopping block as well as a word wall for the shout Marked for Death.
A form of Strategic Map shows the already completed assassinations poignantly marked on the map by daggers stabbed into the locations in Skyrim. A Stones of Barenziah sits in a shelf nearby.
Note: A follower cannot enter the Sanctuary, and it can be accessed during With Friends Like These… at the earliest.
