I sort of can't buy that excuse. I can't buy it because there's been chaotic periods in Nirn's past that far outweigh what's currently going on. Need I remind you of the Akaviri invasions, the Red Guard migration, or the several times that there was no empire? Throughout all of that, not once have the more sinister Daedra come out and play on that level.

Besides, wouldn't the other non involved Daedra just join up and stomp the others? They did that to Jyggalagg for getting too powerful, and the Daedra tend to be fractious at best. It'd be more likely that the Daedra gaining power would squabble amongst themselves and weaken each other. Ah but Jyggalagg was also overthrown because he was different then other Deadra, so logicaly neither you nor I can assum what he would do. As for your point about chaotic periods, was Jyggalagg his true self in those wars? I would think not. His return in the events of Oblivion forced the higher Deadra to consolidate their posistions fearing Jyggalagg's vengance. The war is just a coincedince that the higher Deadra will use to their advantage. And also the other Deadra are being purposely weakened by the higher Deadra. Finally, it took most the Deadric Princes to overthrow Jyggalagg, can you expect the ones not allied with the Higher Deadra to win? With no leader even?
