He is a custodian of infinite knowledge, after all. Or maybe the whole chaotic problem could be his fault--maybe he was siding with the other Daedra, particularly Hermaeus Mora, and thus causing, purpousefully or not, the chaos of the Oblivion Crisis and the Fourth Era. So you would have to defeat him and then make repairs in the newly re-ordered Nirn. But that's just speculation--an idea of how the game could go. I don't especially like that idea--I like the idea that it's all true chaos, caused by the serendipity of mortal life on Nirn, and Jyggalagg has sent one small champion to rally the varied and motley bunch of the mortal sphere's inhabitants to order. But that's just me. Yes, thats how I want it to be to. For once Dagon, Molag, and all the other Deadra which always seem to want to conquer the world are content to watch the mortals fight each other for supremecy, whilst all the while all this chaos is making them even stronger. That's mostly why Jyggalagg needs you to unite the people, to create order where there is none, because if you don't, there's nothing stopping the other Princes from Dominating all of Nirn. But I still think that some of the princes will be apposed to this, but the others are getting so strong they can't do anything to stop it, save one. Jyggalagg. So while you gather your forces in Nirn, Jyggalagg is uniting some of the Princes to appose them. But still, the fate of the world, the fate of oblivion too, is on your shoulders. How about as soon as you escape,he (Jyggalagg,)  tells you to seek out Dyus, and that he tell you what he wants of you? Maybe the new prince of madness let him free of his prison, but still let him be immortal so he could guide other heroes. We could say he's in Nirn, trying to restore all the knowlage which was lost, in other words he's rebuilding the library in Tamerial. (maybe with the help of some Priests of Order,) Yes, I like that very much. A sort of alliance of the least chaotic Daedra. I think Azura would like the indecision and transition of the war, but Meridia might be part of the alliance, and Clavicus Vile might as well, for the right price. Hermaeus Mora might be willing, if he was granted access to the Library. I don't think any of the other Daedra would be willing to side with Jyggalagg, though--although some of them seem neutral to me and could probably be swayed. And if you'll wait a bit, I'll try to write that scene--where you've just left the Thalmor prison and are far enough away from it to be safe, and Jyggalagg tells you to sek out Cyrus. Perhaps when you do a Deadric quest you can either get the artifact or their alliegance? Just an idea. Hircine might join for the thrill of hunting another prince, but he could join either side for that.

I'd rather not forgo the artifact for the ultimate goal, though. Maybe you can request their allegiance once you've gained their good graces, and if you ask them about that before you ask them about the artifact they refuse to give the artifact? So you have to ask them for the artifact first, and some of them might complain about mortals always being so needy if you ask them for both?
