A "Dark Magic" alternative to the College of Winterhold

Ok, my idea is for a kind of a new faction or quest line. A kind of underground group of dark mages outside the college or winterhold. Maybe with vendors who sell custom spell that dark in nature. Not just like necromancy, but more dark alternatives to magically destroying your foes instead of just fire, frost, and shock spells. Maybe a quest line that involves protecting the group from the college or the law or superstitous villagers or something. I don't really have much of an idea for anything beyond this, so if anyone wants to work on this anything you can come up with or anything you want to add feel free.

This would be good lorewise as well. Many of the darker mages in the game appear to have been kicked out of the collage of Winterhold or left on their own to be able to pursue the darker arts. I even strongly suspect many of start out of Winterhold after learning the basics at the collage. Orthon appear to be such a student. Saving him does not make him appear at the collage so I assume they didn't let him lin again. Many have fallen to the dark side of the arts apperantly.

I think the most we could get without actual voice acting and quest writing/scripting is this :

There are all those mage dungeons out there, right ?

Filled with ''dark mages'' who are always hostile towards the player.

Well, make the people in one of those not hostile. Add a few vendors with stock lines all mages say when you trade with them ''Spells and incantations for those with the talent to cast them'' and there you have it.

No need to overcomplicate it, right ?

I am actually kind of starting to work on this myself, but I have no modding experience whatsoever and am learning as I go. Since I plan to make it very immersive with a quest line about as long as that of the College quests, with fully voiced dialogue, new spells, armor, and locations, it will probably take me quite awhile to finish it.

Can a faction consist of only a single 3 man team?
