Mantling is when the two beings become so similar that the universe can't tell the difference and if the universe can't then no one else can either. The HoK effectively became Sheogorath and Sheogorath became the HoK. This isn't a role switch. This is a merger with Sheogorath become the main person as he was the mantlee. He was consumed by Sheogorath through the Mantling process. The HoK, by himself, does not exist anymore. Only Sheogorath exists. HoK was consumed by Sheogorath through the mantling process, turning into Sheogorath, with only a few memories left and his former identity completely destroyed.
