[edit] The Lucky Old Lady

Go to Bravil and activate the statue of the Lucky Old Lady as if you were trying to receive her usual blessing of luck. Instead the Night Mother will tell you that somebody has prayed to her and that you should relay these details to your speaker. You will receive a random combination of one of the following people and locations. None of these locations are in Cyrodiil, so you cannot kill the person in question.

Whispers of Death (Dark19Whispers)
Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		Once a week, I must speak with the statue of the Night Mother in Bravil. The Night Mother will give me a list of names and locations of people who require a visit from a Dark Brotherhood Speaker, to arrange an assassination. If I take this information to Arquen in the Cheydinhal Sanctuary, she will give me my weekly earnings. I can do this every week for as long as I want, and there is no penalty if I choose not to.

Notes

Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage quest stage. Where quest is the internal name of the quest, and stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
You can remove the last journal entry by using the following console command: completequest Dark19Whispers. Doing this will not prevent you from delivering the information to your Speaker and receiving your reward.
