It's possible, in fact to be honest, preferable to do the Shivering Isles extension without going any where near Kvatch. In fact I don't think that I ever went near the Shivering Isles when pursuing the main quest, and vice versa. For a start the main quest was bloody awful, I think I've gone through it at most 3 times, whereas I've played the game more times than sanity would justify.

Which means that as far as I'm concerned personally, the HoK never entered the Shivering Isles, it was after all a late sideways expansion, hell I'd given up playing the game before SI came out and only came back to it thanks to the game being rescued by third party mods. IMHO the pseudo Sheogorath should be treated as a separate entity from the HoK, and definitely should be ignored in Lore as such. And if the HoK did become Sheo, he could have the abilty to split himself into two seperate entities; Sheo and himself. And since he becomes a god, he leaves his sheo half behind and spends the next 200 years living his life until he is caught at skyrim's border. And during that time his blood could have been tapped after centuries of vigorous traning and trials and unlocking potential in his blood such as the dragon blood.

To be honest, it's up to the player to decide if the hero is the same hero from all of the main titles. And to the person that says the neravar couldn't be the dragonborn because he didn't recgonize Juib is wrong, because of many reasons, first being that it was 200+ years since they met and the neravar only met Juib for a few moments, only Juib knew the neravar's name.

Visiting solsthiem after 200 years would most likely make the hero forget much about it, and you can optionally choose to have your hero not question any history of solsithem which would imply he did have memories about his last adventure, similar to how the Dragonborn tells Juib that the Oblivion invasion was before his time, you can choose not to say that dialogue option if you wish for your character to be the same as your Prior character from oblivion.

It all boils down to how you wish your lore to be, you can choose for your hero to be the same person or different people throughout.

My character has always been the same from shadowkey to arena, all the way to Skyrim, besides Redguard and Online for obvious reasons.
