How To Kill The Draconis Family Members In Oblivion Remastered
The Dark Brotherhood questline is undoubtedly one of the best in Oblivion Remastered, featuring several enthralling quests, including optional missions like The Renegade Shadowscale. Once you get to the latter stages of the questline and begin to take your orders from Lucien Lachance, you'll notice that your targets become more numerous.
One of the bloodiest Dark Brotherhood quests is Next Of Kin, which tasks you with locating and killing every member of the Draconis family, starting with their Matriarch, Perennia. Perennia has a list with the locations of each Draconis family member, so she's the key to completing Next Of Kin.
How To Start Next Of Kin
After you complete Affairs of a Wizard by collecting your reward from the Great Oak in Chorrol, you'll immediately receive your next contract from Lucien Lachance: Next of Kin.
Where To Find Every Draconis Family Member
Your orders task you with sneaking into Perennia Draconis' house, dispatching her, and collecting a list of her children and their locations so you can hunt them down as well.
First, head to Applewatch, west of Bruma and southwest of

Map View Worldview Description I have received my new orders from Lucien Lachance, I must kill every member of the Draconis family -- Perennia Draconis, Matthias Draconis, Andreas Draconis, Sibylla Draconis, and Caelia Draconis. I know the location of only the family matron, Perennia Draconis, who can be found on the farm known as Applewatch. I should head to Applewatch, find out as much information as I can on the locations of the other family remembers, and then systematically kill them all. When you pick up your reward for the Affairs of a Wizard quest, you will also be able to retrieve your next order.
Dead Drop Order #2 is along with the reward in the Old Sack hidden in the bushes beneath the Great Oak tree in the center of Chorrol. Taking the order will start the Next of Kin quest.
In this assignment, you have multiple targets once again. You must eliminate all members of the Draconis Family—Perennia Draconis, Matth
Next of Kin
You're to exterminate the entire Draconis family: mom and the four kids. The only information that Lachance can give you is about the mother, Perennia. She'll be at Applewatch, the family farm, which is just outside of Bruma. You might have already stumbled across it during the "Spies" mission of the Main Quest or during the "A Brotherhood Betrayed" side-quest in Bruma.
Perennia thinks that you're with a shopping service that she hired. So play along with her if you'd like to make your life a little easier. She'll give you all of the kids' locations, a list of presents she'd like you to buy for them, and 100 gold to cover the gifts themselves. If you're really determined to be the assassin, you can just kill her outright. The list is on her body and she's not that tough of an old bird. The dog might take offense, though. The kids can be handled in any order.
Andreas (I'll go alphabetically) is at the Drunken Dragon Inn, which is southeast of and pretty close to Atatar (you would have gone there for the Fighters Guild's "Azani Blackheart" mission). He's unarmed except for a dagger and doesn't wear armor. The only hiccup might be an I

Cheesy yet effective[edit]
The problem with killing Caelia Draconis without incurring a bounty is a big one, but there's one way to accomplish it, given foreknowledge of two things: A> At Level 1, Caelia can be easily defeated by Cingor; and B> Cingor (a Mythic Dawn spy) will spontaneously attack you if you lower his Disposition below 10.
The solution presents itself by immediately trekking to Leyawiin as a new character, inciting Cingor to attack you through Persuasion, then leading the homicidal Woof Elf towards Caelia. Should they join battle, Cingor will slay Caelia for you, without any penalty upon yourself.
At some point in the day, both Cingor and Caelia will be in the Three Sisters' Lodge (Caelia in her room, Cingor in the tavern). That's as good time as any to pull off the trick.
- to kill Caelia Draconis without getting a bounty, i recommend useing an enchanted mage hood as described under Dark Brotherhood Overall Killing Hints, do it when she sleeps at 5pm, remember to sneak.
- Kill her while she sleeps in the Barracks. I didn't get a bounty when I did this. (1st person commentary moved from main page)
