Biography

Sheogorath was one of the sixteen Daedric Princes of Oblivion. Sheogortah's sphere was inspiring Madness in the mortal races. Sheogorath was originally the Daedric Prince of Order, Jyggalag who built himself a vast Empire consisting of many realms, guarded by his personal army, the Knights of Order. Because of the enormous power Jyggalag had obtained the other princes became fearful and jealous and cursed him to exist in the form of the thing he despised most, madness. From that day forward Jyggalag was doomed to spread madness throught his once orderly realm in the from of Sheogorath.

At the beginning of the 4th Era, Sheogorath recruited a mortal to act as his champion and stop the Greymarch. Unbeknownst to the mortal, Sheogorath planned for him to become the new Madgod. Though they managed to thwart the Forces of Order on many occations, Sheogorath transformed back into Jyggalag before he could complte the plan to make the mortal the new Madgod. Sheogorath's transformation left the Staff of Sheogorath broken, leaving the mortal to reforge it. After the mortal cleansed the Roots of Madness under Sheogorath's palace, Jyggalag himself appeared and attacked. The mortal managed to defeat Jyggalag, which broke his curse and allowed him to remain as Jyggalag, stopping the Greymarch forever.

The mortal became the new Madgod and ruler of the Shivering Isles.

Personality and traits

"Madness is a bitter mercy, perhaps, but a mercy none the less."

―Sheogorath^[src]

Sheogorath savored the act of driving mortals insane or making them perform actions which can be seen as trivial or silly. He spoke with an almost exaggerated Scottish accent. Most amusing of all is his favored weapon for mortals, the staff Wabbajack, which can transform any living creature into another random creature. Another artifact known as the Staff of Everscamp, which the owner cannot discard, causes them to be constantly followed by four scamps. There is also a region in Morrowind named after him, Sheogorad.

+==Biography==
-It is learned in [[The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles|Shivering Isles]] that the other Daedric Princes feared the Daedric Prince of Order (Jyggalag) was becoming too powerful, and so they cursed him into a body of madness (Sheogorath), everything he stood against. Though Sheogorath seems to prefer this new existence and to care in his own way for the residents of the Shivering Isles, Jyggalag is nonetheless able to return at the end of every era, leading a "Greymarch" (destruction of the realm using the Knights of Order). The curse would then revert him to Sheogorath, leaving Sheogorath to once again re-assemble his realm. Not wanting to see his beloved Shivering Isles destroyed again by the Greymarch, Sheogorath called for a champion from Nirn. At the end of the 3rd Era, Jyggalag was struck down by Sheogorath's Champion.  With this, the Greymarch was ended prematurely, releasing Jyggalag from the cycle, and the Hero was crowned the new "Sheogorath." Jyggalag says that the hero may one day grow into their new role.

There is also a region in Morrowind named after him, [[Sheogorad]]. There are many Daedric shrines there, many of which are shrines built specifically for his followers to worship him. As the Madgod, Sheogorath himself considers madness to be a form of mercy for those who would otherwise not function in the world - "a bitter mercy, perhaps, but a mercy nonetheless". This opinion is reflected in the ''Bitter Cup'' which is found in Morrowind, specifically the Sheogorad region and increases one's most powerful attribute, while decreasing their weakest one.
