Gatekeeper (Shivering Isles)



The Gatekeeper is guardian to the Realm of Sheogorath. It is made up of the flesh of the dead (and its victims, as hinted by its creator Relmyna Verenim) and has the two keys for the two regions of the Shivering Isles (Mania and Dementia) sewn into its flesh. One of its hands is an oversized blade, axe, or mace which it uses to great effect against enemies. The Gatekeeper seems to be a much larger and more frightening version of a Flesh Atronach.

At the beginning of Shivering Isles you will find several adventurers with steel armor and their leader with leveled armor fighting the gatekeeper, the adventurers will die except their leader, who will flee.You can kill the Gatekeeper with the adventurers the first time you see it, but it will be a challenge without Relmyna`s Tears or the Bone Arrows, made from an old Gatekeeper's bones by Jayred Ice-Veins.

Towards the end of the Shivering Isles quests, you will be able to make a new Gatekeeper and choose which body parts, and thus which strengths, the new Gatekeeper will have. The body parts also affect which Gatekeeper's Gift you will be able to select.
