Please rename Night Mother's Embrace...

I'm not really sure this is the right place to put this, but a quick search turned up no similar discussions.

See the title. The current name isn't exactly Lore Friendly (it's a Thieves Guild Motif Set gained from Thieves Troves in the world. It has nothing to do with the Brotherhood in either motif or source), and it's profoundly confusing with the existing Night Mother's Gaze craftable set (both use the exact same name syntax of X of the Night Mother for all pieces)

I propose renaming it to Nocturnal's Embrace (since Nocturnal is the Daedric patron of Thieves and Shadows, and it's a thief based stealth set and all). More lore friendly, less confusing.

Just an idle thought...

I'd support that. Although "Night Mother" gives a clue about Nocturnal, I hardly remember of her.

Night Mother always reminds of Namira or even "the" Night Mother, of Dark Brotherhood.

Ok, Shadow's Embrace then, since that's what Nocturnal is, Prince of Shadows. My point is that when someone says "Night Mother" most people think of the Dark Brotherhood's leading lady corpse, not the Daedric Princes.

That's a good name too that relates better to the Night Mistress

Or simply Nocturnal's embrace.

It would be nice not having 2 "night mothers" sets, but this set was in game long before the thieves guild motif was even a thing, it was just a set updated to max level by being put in thieves guild troves.

Actually Night mother's embrace is an old set that was in the game for a long time. Way before theives guild back when the game started. All the sets that you get in the Theives trove are just a bunch of older sets that scale up to cp 160 that help you with stealing. Just because they are found in the Theives trove does not mean they are affiliated with the Theives guild. It just means it a stealth set and thief stole it and put in trove to come back and use it or sell it. That is all. There is nothing lore breaking about theives stealing a set to use or sell.

Fair enough. A detail I forgot about. Though it currently comes in the Guild Motif either way (and was Daedric before that IIRC). So I'd still argue for changing the name just to avoid the confusion with the OTHER Night Mother set as well
