Dervenin, the Priest of Mania, came in search of the Mad God to beg him to return, eventually coming to the city of Solitude in Skyrim. Circa 4E 201, Sheogorath abandoned the realm on a "vacation", visiting the mind of long-dead Thoriz Pelagius Septim III the Mad. Travelers from Tamriel passed through the realm in the early Fourth Era. As Sheogorath, the Champion of Cyrodiil stated that the title of Mad God is one which "gets passed down from me to myself every few thousand years". A similar process seems to have taken place at a previous Greymarch, despite Sheogorath's belief that this was a novel approach by the Champion. Jyggalag thanked the Champion, and departed for the Waters of Oblivion, leaving the Champion to rule the realm as the new Prince of Madness. In a final battle against Jyggalag, the Champion emerged victorious and freed the Prince from his curse.
The Champion took on the role of the Madgod with the aid of Haskill and Dyus by recreating the Staff of Sheogorath, the symbol of power in the Isles. In the end it was of no use, and Sheogorath disappeared. The Champion rose in ranks in the Court of Madness, and fulfilled many tasks to prevent the populace from turning to Order. This age-old cycle was finally ended in 3E 433 when the Champion of Cyrodiil became Sheogorath's champion, and aided the Prince in halting the Forces of Order. Sheogorath is then left to rebuild his dead realm. The cycle is completed when Jyggalag himself appears and takes the Palace, capturing the Font of Madness. Many of Sheogorath's subjects default, and become Priests of Order. It begins with the appearance of the Knights of Order, who slowly invade the isles using the obelisks as conduits. However, he could not bring himself to destroy the knowledge that Dyus possesses, so instead he forbade him from dying and imprisoned him in the ruins of the library at Knifepoint Hollow.Īt the end of every era, Sheogorath was allowed to take his true form and retake the realm. When Sheogorath discovered the library he had it burned, insisting that it was an abomination and that personal choice defied logical prediction.
Only two relics remained: the many crystal obelisks which dot the Isles, which he could not permanently remove and Dyus, Jyggalag's chamberlain and the keeper of the Great Library of Jyggalag, which contained the logical prediction of every action ever taken by any creature, mortal or Daedric. Jyggalag became Sheogorath, and destroyed all aspects of order in the realm.
The other Daedric Princes feared Jyggalag's immense power, so they cursed him to become the Prince of what he despised most of all: Madness. The Shivering Isles was originally the Realm of Order, the domain of Jyggalag.
