After reading up on my elder scrolls lore and revisiting the lore of Oblivion, I’ve begun to come up with a theory concerning the fact the The Hero of Kvatch, Pelinal Whitestrake and Sheogorath are in fact the same people. Now this is due to the idea of Mantalling and for those who are unaware of this process, in basic terms it is where someone follows in someone else’s footsteps, that there becomes no recognisable difference that they become one entity. This happened supposedly Talos and Wulfharth the Underking.

Now we know that the HOK becomes the madgod after the shivering isles dlc and there are hints to this in Skyrim. We also know that the HOK becomes the Divine Crusader which is a title Whitestake held. I think that it is entirely plausible that the HOK could have become Whitestrake in the same way he became Sheogorath and what I find so interesting about this possibility is that the HOK could theoretically a hybrid between Aedra/Daedra and mortal. This is because there is strong evidence that Whitestrake is a Shezzarine which I kind of deduce as a type of avatar of Lorkhan.

What we also know is that Whitestrake is a possibly a time traveller as he is praising Reman Cyridil years before his birth. And if he is now an aspect of Sheogorath then he doesn’t have to follow the convention of time due to oblivion being outside of Mundas. We also know the Whitestrake has moments of pure frenzied madness and insanity, this point is self explanatory. We can also see some evidence in Sheogorath’s. He is the only Daedric Prince to my knowledge has been able to bypass the dragonfires (although I can’t rememver the specific example) but how is this possible, because he is part Aedra and mortal and can transcend into The mortal plane.

I’m not saying the all three of these characters are the same person all the time but I think it’s plausible that they could be splinters of an Oversoul.

That’s all from me I’m eager to here you opinions on the Theory also if anyone wants to go and make a catchier title for this theory please do
