Battleteams are the basic organisation unit within the Dark Brotherhood and fall under the command of a Battleteam Leader. These teams are grouped within a particular House, and can either be aligned to the same Order or consist of members from multiple orders.. The teams can consist of up to twelve (12) members. Upon completing training in the Shadow Academy, new members can be assigned to a Battleteam by their House Leaders. Further ranks and awards can be gained by active participation in the team. The general structure of the Battleteams is listed below:
