For anyone interested the cloaks are from the mod Cloaks of Skyrim. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6369
In case there's any confusion the third character in the photos is the player character, I was trying to get different shots and angles for people to see the Companions but everyone kept moving around me and I'm not a screen shot artist.
There is now an alternative look for both Companions. They require the use of KS Hairdos SSE. As requested by larpo, I had to finish their updated looks.
Considering how many people go Dark Brotherhood, I'm just thinking about how they'll "observe" the Dragonborn assassinating the Emperor... "s#*!, the Dragonborn killed my job!"
If you work for the DB why would you use these followers? But on that note remember the Emperor Knows he's going down. Maybe he wants to make sure you succeed.
If you want to add some good stuff to your game, you might check out the Chanterelle mod its growing and is pretty sweet for new content not done in Skyrim.
the backstory of these two is very inspired, and it reminds me of the rigmor mod's story in a very small way, but it still complements that mods story in some manner. in that story the dark brotherhood is to blame for the emperors death, but the conspiracy started through the dragonborns involvement based off of player choice.
in my game the brotherhood carry out the emperors death without the dragonborn's involvement, but the dragonborn eventually destroys the brotherhood.
the writer of that story was very good in his style in how he incorporated these story elements.
so applying that story alongside yours would make sense as the emperor was not dead at this point in time, that comes later down the road, but i think the rigmor writer or Jim leaves the plot open to interpretation based off of players choice, and if i were to tell the story to make these twins apart of it, would end in their deaths unfortunately as the dragonborn is a highly sought after individual, in your writing they are there to observe the dragonborn, not so much to join him or help him.
but this can also be rewritten as they end up dying because someone discovers them.
i can only assume that the emperor suspects that the dragonborn will eventually take his place on the ruby throne as he knows of the prophecy of his own death and the return of the dragons just as alduins wall states, either the emperor is thinking the dragonborn will clam that title via combat or by other means.
or perhaps the player is apart of the brotherhood and is the one who does the deed in ending the emperors life. but the emperor knows this, and he knows his death will come to it's end and must come to an end to keep the prophecy on the right course.
i had fun writing this, i always like to see the deeper meaning in a story to make it stronger and be full of plots to create more depth in the over arching story being told.
My theory is it's up to the player, are they spy's or there to help him succeed. If you think about it, as you said if the emperor believes in Prophecy and he most likely does since he knew his death was going to happen, he says that when the DB player assassin kills him on the ship. As for Rigmor I have no problem buying that story since there's a lot of support to bring back the DB Emperor. Storm Cloaks for sure, I believe Hammerfell and Highrock would go for it, and it would pull the Empire back together. The real enemy of the DB is the Thalmor. they and you quickly realize this during your play in Skyrim. Many Large mods all follow this story with the Thalmor as the main enemy. On the Twins I like to play they help you get to the end by becoming more than just bodyguards and earn their high rank inside the PO when the player becomes Emperor.

As for Rigmor I have played it many times and becoming the emperor just feels right to the story I can't wait for the third story
While I like the idea of twins, it would be nice if they were striving for their own identity a little. Tired of being mistaken for their sister and wanting some way to stand apart. Mirror twins is also a fun concept. One is left hand and one is right. One part her hair or hangs her ponytail on one side, and the other one, well does the opposite. I don't anything about making mods so this might be an impossible request or a big pain in the a$$. Also this might be just how you want them. Well, anyway Thank you for making these mods and making Skyrim more fun for all of us.
My concept is based off of the twins in real life who made it a choice to look the same. They did make one choice different and that's there fighting styles. I tried different hair styles and stuff and they lose the twin look very quickly and the idea is to look like twins. But you are welcome to change there appearance in your game as you like. Thanks
I don't know what the masked Courier is, so not part of this mod. Also as for Destroy the Dark Brothehoodr it works fine and makes sense since they are factioned as Penitus Oculatus and Imperial. Ok I see what you are talking about, This is my character in the play through and there just happens to be a courier standing behind me. Sorry for the confusion.It would be cool to have a masked courier who delivers notes to them once in awhile. Maybe I should add some thing like that. Once I learn more. The reason for adding the factions is for serious RPG effect. When I play Imperial I add Imperial to the player, if I play Stormcloak I add Stormcloak Faction to the player character. This makes it seem real when you go to an enemy camp they wont like you near there camp because they recognize you as an enemy. But the factions on them doesn't effect you only if you dismiss them, Per say leave them at the base of the Penitus Oculatus in Dragon Bridge. the other NPCs see them as belonging there.
