Quests	Main Quests

The Fringe is the waiting/testing area of the Realm of Sheogorath. Those who are unworthy simply wait and do not seek to be tested. Those who are driven to be tested challenge the Gatekeeper for the Key to Mania and the Key to Dementia and true access to the Shivering Isles. The landscape here is dominated by the flora of Dementia.
