Oblivion’s Shivering Isles is Sheogorath’s realm of Mania and Dementia: Bliss and Crucible, the Gatekeeper, and a court of madness that commissions a mortal champion. The Greymarch reveals the secret. Sheogorath is Jyggalag, Daedric Lord of Order, locked in an endless cycle of chaos and gray dominion.

In this Elder Scrolls & Philosophy story overview, Dr. Andrew Snyder traces the path from Niben Bay through Haskill and New Sheoth to Mantling the Mad God, rebuilding the staff, and breaking the Greymarch so a new Sheogorath can reign.
