LE Dawnstar Sanctuary for Brotherhood Destroyers

[ShadCroly]

I've always found it kinda weird that you can so easily stumble upon the door to the Dawnstar Sanctuary. If you're in the Dark Brotherhood questline, you get to access it and eventually get to turn it into a player home. However, if you destroy the Dark Brotherhood, you never get access to it.

 

I'd really love a mod that, should you choose to destroy the Dark Brotherhood, still lets you have access to the Dawnstar Sanctuary as a player house. Perhaps, as you're raiding the Falkreath Sanctuary, Cicero is there and you can loot a journal from him with the password inside it or one of the Empire soldiers says he found and killed Cicero and he has the book/password for it. Then you go in, kill anything that might be lurking inside it, and then you can start buying decorations for it (probably not the stocks and the prisoners, though). It'd probably be an okay trade-off to have it cost a bit more than normal to furnish it.

 

Is this something that can be done?

use tcl to gain access to the Dawnstar sanctuary and see if there are any conflicting issues with the "Destroy the Dark brotherhood" quest tree. If there aren't, then it'll be an easy modification to make. HOWEVER, if cicero is in the Dawnstar Sanctuary when you tcl into the transition box, then it's a conflict, and he has to be removed upon trigger of "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood." or he has to appear already dead with a different journal stating that "Some annoying brute decided to raid the Falkreath sanctuary. Now I'm all alone... except for my sweet mother..." that sort of thing. Could die from no food, or something. It'd be interesting to see what people do with that though, and I'd support it. (Especially for a bandit character or theif character that needs a home full of traps.)

So while it's a little sad that it took me this long to remember about this, I did in-fact go check out the Dawnstar Sanctuary after I destroyed the Dark Brotherhood. You can't access it via the TCL command, but a quick coc dawnstarsanctuary command got me right in.

 

Cicero is nowhere to be found inside (I'm guessing he's removed from the game world as soon as Astrid is killed, since the moveto command did nothing), so the only things inside you need to remove are the Sanctuary ghosts and that one named Troll, so if someone was interested in trying this out, it could totally be done!
