No matter what he did, the other daedra would always stop him. So he set it up so that they had another problem. One that they would have to focus on instead of him. One that would allow him to eventually sneak off, and consolidate power somewhere else. He's playing the long game

I find this a convincing take, as a being that would know what’s to come he must’ve seen it coming- I’ll also add that order is not necessarily a completely neutral force, I’d describe him as more of a being of entropy- the universe as a whole is a constant battle of entropy vs chaos, and if the way things in the world of elder scrolls play out like how we think it will in our own universe, eventually order and entropy will win, ending in a constant nothingness devoid of… anything, really

At the end of the mortals natural life, Sheogorath comes before the dying mortal and asks how they where able to best him for so long. “Simple really.

This does tie in to a certain detail that Haskill brings up. Sheo is truly grateful for you helping to stop Dagon in Oblivion and Alduin in Skyrim. The mad god cannot be entertained by the dead. You saved all of mortal kind, and in doing so, saved Sheo’s entertainment. It’s likely why he’s more amicable to the player character in each game he appears in, simply cause you’re the one fated to save the world or stop a deadly crisis.

Who else could free himself from Jyggalag and the cycle completely, if not the God of Madness. The Daedra made him capable of *making his own fate.* Hehe. And then he fused with a Shezzarine. A Daedra deformatted by the other Princes with a little bit of Freedom in him.

“You know, I was there for that whole sordid affair. Marvelous times! Butterflies, blood, a Fox and severed head... Oh, and the cheese! To die for.” - Butterflies refers to the butterflies first seen in the Shivering Isles - Blood of the Daedra from the Quest Martin sends you on - The fox representing the Grey Fox - The severed head of Mathieu Bellamont, the Dark Brotherhood traitor of course the cheese is a little nod to Sheo’s famous “CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!” It could also reference the cheese in Sheo’s Daedric quest.

I also believe that Sheo having a redesign in Skyrim could imply that he’s not quite the same as he was before, him having whited out eyes instead of yellow cat eyes, his hair being longer with a different style, his beard being shorter and less defined, and his outfit looking distinctly different than it did before during Oblivion.

Jyggalag and Sheo's cycle always amazed me. Going insane and sane again in a mathematically perfect cycle of order. Yet they repeat the same emotions and actions, expecting something to change- which is insanity. Sheos insanity is a perfect form of order. Jygallags order is a perfect form of insanity.

My favorite story is how Sheogorath beat Hircine's challenge. It's a lesson of terrifying insight: No matter how powerful, indomitable or fierce someone is, they can never be saved from themselves and their personal failings. Even if nobody else holds the keys to your downfall, you yourself always will. If you want to truly destroy someone, what you need to know is what will awaken this, this... itch, be it obsession, mistrust, madness, addiction or hunger for power. Once you do that, you can just sit back and watch them destroy themselves. It kinda mirrors how Jyggalag was cursed to become Sheogorath as well as the story about the wizard who became mad even though Sheogorath did nothing but let him stew in his paranoia for a few days.

The Shivering Isles DLC is fascinating in how its story unfolds. In devising a way to break the curse, the two sides of the same coin wind up subconsciously working together.

Wes Johnson looking like the character he voiced is hilariously appropriate and meta to the lore you pointed out in the video and I'm loving it. Big congratulations to getting him and totally agree with your theory of the 2 Sheogoraths. As someone who started with Skyrim and went backwards through the games, coming back to 5's quest with more knowledge of the history and the subtle change in character design(because it's not like they couldn't have put the beard on that Sheo model, they had close enough ones that it would have been a simple leap) gave me the thought that it was the Hero of Kvatch's ultimate fate. Which is also cool because then you have two Player Characters meeting each other like with the Vault Dweller in Brotherhood of Steel.

From a Morgan & Morgan sponsor to a cameo from the mad god himself. This one definitely had the insane energy of the main man himself. You outdid yourself ghost, keep it up! 🖤

The thing that makes Sheogorath scary is if he every really wanted to he probably could take over Nirn, he knows exactly how to manipulate and prod people to do what he wants, he also might be able to see the future, or at least predict the results of actions taken, like with the meteor he chucked at Morrowind, sure the tribunal stopped it, but when the tribunal fell apart so did the magic stopping the meteor, causing it to smash into the ground and set off Red Mountain, there the potential that from the moment he was going to take that action he knew exactly what the tribunal were going to do and how the story would end. The only reason he's not more of a threat is because it's all a game to him, he's in it to have fun and nothing more.

"Sheogorath's favorite pastime is torture, and Sheogorath himself claims to have spent his first three to four thousand years of existence tormenting butterflies, before eventually growing out of it." - Skooma Cat's Playthings, the fourth Puzzle Set, Legends, released on October 30, 2019. People who try to kill themselves in his realm of Shivering Isles to escape him, are forever bound as bodiless ghosts howling in anguish. Sheogorath is not willingly relinquishing any soul of mentally disturbed. These are to be his playthings for eternity until broken beyond repair. Sheogorath is god-damn demon, spoiled child bully, psychopathic, sadistic villain of the worst sort where even death gives no escape from his attentions. He might just very well be scariest, and certainly most sadistic villain in the series.

Purely Anuic are the Magna Ge, who left Mundus to return to Aetherius and created the sun and stars when they punched through Oblivion. Purely Padomaic are the Daedra who are more gods associated with change and influence rather than just evil, dark, or "anti-gods". The Aedra are a mix of Anuic and Padomiac, and exist as the eight planets of Mundus orbiting Nirn.

A grand stillness where causality ends and things simply are without effecting the existence of other things. Irl, we have a concept known as heat death, an end of the universe where all energy that could cause a reaction (read; literally what all life and history is made of) is used up and all that's left is just some matter in its most base form sitting there. We don't know exactly what matter will sit there, or if anything happens after this, but it is essentially the universe dying and becoming calm and still.

I personally think the reason Jyggalag was willingly repeating his cycle over and over again and while possibly seeing his downfall continued anyway, is because it’s his nature to put things in order, he sees chaos and madness and must challenge it, must place order to it, he is compelled to do because it’s what makes him, him.

Azura lead the Nerevarine Sheogorath the Hero of Kvatch / Champion Of Cyrodil The Dragonborn with Hermaeus Mora I noticed this alarming Trend the other day it seems that all of the protagonists from the Elder Scrolls games are heavily influenced by a Daedric prince... One can only guess which Daedric prince will choose the player character.. I believe it'll be one of the lesser-known entities in the Elder Scrolls universe....

He's not a Daedric prince, but I would love for the Ebony Warrior to take an interest, haha. Especially since he's supposedly a redguard and next elder scroll will take place, at least in part in Hammerfell.

@@Cartis88 pretty sure the ebony warrior's death is canon. unless you want to consider the dragonborn to be the new ebony warrior, which would make sense, especially given the ebony warrior like characters in the other scrolls games like that one orc from morrowind.

Now that you say it’s made me realize something. It’s interesting that each game in the main Elder Scrolls series from Morrowind onward have each had an expansion/dlc dedicated to a Daedric Prince in some way. Morrowind had Hircine’s grand hunt under the Blood Moon, Oblivion the Last Greymarch in the sheogorath’s shivering isles, and Skyrim had the legendary battle between two Dragonborn in the realm of forbidden knowledge of Hermaeus Mora. Makes you wonder if they’ll continue the trend with Elder Scrolls 6 and which one they’d focus on….

Awesome little treat at the end! Can't believe you managed to trick the mad-god himself into that- *impressive* work.

It always feels like I was given a cool gift when one of your videos drop

What a wonderful start to a Friday morning, always good to see you Ghost

I remember playing the shivering isles dlc in oblivion and getting to a quest where Sheogorath wants me to summon Haskill, but for some reason when you do the game doesn't progress. It turned out to be a bug but i honestly thought that it was a part of the quest and you had to figure out why it wouldn't let you go further

Just killing it, bud❤🎉That part at the end warmed my heart. 😊Thank you so kindly, GhostCharm

I've only watched half of the video, so I'm not sure if you'll mention it later, but i really love the 16 Accords of Madness. The idea of Sheogorath going to each Daedric Prince and beating them at what they do best is brilliant. I hope we get more of these books in the future

I have to say man, you are a fantastic storyteller. Don’t get me wrong the source material is fantastic and you’re devotion to these games is evident, but you really have a knack for telling stories. I loved the video, keep up the great work!

1:05:38 Absolute awesome that Mr. Johnson can still do Sheo's voice and character.

A video about Sheohorath thats sponcered by a law firm. That is unexpected, and as such, fits perfect

After Thousands of hours in Elder Scrolls Games, and hundreds of hours of lore videos, and I'm STILL shocked whenever someone reminds me that there are Sixteen Daedric Princes.

Hm. I like to think that the deal with Sheo in Skyrim is one of two things: The Champion of Cydoril is still *mostly* sane, he just plays the character of Sheogorath to keep things going. Depending on how you play that quest, Sheo is not quite as negatively insane. He sends you to help Pelagius be more comfortable in his madness. Or, maybe, the Champion of Cyrodil was *created* by Sheogorath as his child and future self.

I would love an Elderscrolls game where Jigalag and Sheogorath helping the hero in their journey. Because after the events of the Shivering ilses dlc Jigalag technically turned into an Aedra.

Simply said: the hero of kvatch just did not simply became someone claiming the title of sheogorath, daedric of madness, he quite literally became sheogorath himself. He literally transformed into the sheogorath we saw before, he did a quest for. With all his powers, looks and even his undying love for cheese. In other words, the hero of kvatch seeked out sheogorath, helped sheogorath and became sheogorath.

I think the best way to sum up Sheogorath is that Sheogorath is Sheogorath and does whatever random stuff pops into Sheogorath's head

Sheogorath's realm is so beautiful and dangerous. And as someone who suffers from bipolar disorder, it captures so much of how I feel during different phases of the illness. The depression and terrifying delusions, the paranoia, feeling like soneone or something is after you. And the mania. The delusions of grandure. The unmatched feelings of utter creativity. The strange and wonderful flight of ideas. The absolute delight of bringing a piece of art to life. And strange as it sounds, I don't want to give up my illness entirely. There is a creative passion that I can't fully describe. And frankly, a little bit of madness is part of who I am. I take my meds of course. But it isn't a cure. My symptoms are just at a more managable level. After all, I do still have responsibilities. I can't spend days without sleep, paying attention to only my artwork. I have kids. And they need love, care, and attention.

I figure the best way to go about the outcome of the Shivering Isles is that Jiggalag learned to coexist with Sheogorath as equally important facets of the world. For sure he still wants to spread order but not to the point of total destruction of everything else. Both seemed pretty tired and unhappy with the perpetual cycle of destruction they were stuck in as a single individual.

Fictional crazy is fun

On Sheogorath in Morrowind, I remember some theory explaining that it makes more sense if it's Haskill pretending to be Sheogorath at this time in history. Just so no one notices that he's absent at the time.

Jyggalagg both knew he would be cursed AND that he would eventually be set free. He was still the daedric price of order, but that in and if itself is madness against nature. Sheogorath was the daedric price of madness, which is the natural order. In more ways than one, they are two sides of the same coin.

Oh my, that ending was amazing! Congrats man, always making great content!

Am I mad for wishing this was longer?! Yes, yes I am.

An insurance company sponsoring a video about the Daedric prince of madness is the juxtaposition that Sheogorath would've delighted in. Another excellent video Ghostcharm!

11:20 as I understand the Daedra generally being more chaotic is only a coincidence because the only thing that defines them is that they didn't invest power into Mundus. I can imagine that most of them rejected Lorkhan's pitch because the mortal plane would be too restrictive for their taste, but I bet Jyggalag felt the opposite: that Mundus would be too messy and random compared to his own crystalline realm.

I love your narration style. Very evocative but conversational and easy to listen to.

You know, if you actually sent Sheogorath a notice that he was being sued, he might very well show up to court and play along for a bit just because hed think its funny

I love the whole story with Jigalag and Sheogorath. I like to think that Jigalag always existed within Sheogorath, like Carolin in Glados only influencing a bit more stuff. infact i always thought that the whole plot line to make you the new Sheogorath and break the cycle thus freeing Jigalag in the prosess was from the beginning Jigalag subtly plotting his return. i also like the idea that Jigalag was always the madness god. Like in the show Reboot with Megabite and Hexadecimal both were rather powerful but Megabite was the one who was far more dagerous because he had more focus and a actual longterm plan rather than his sister who was just chaoticly doing what ever she felt like. I think the same analogy can apply to Sheogorath and Jigalag both ultamitly the same threat but one was much more focused those making them the bigger threat.

A theory that I’m a fan of is that Jyggalag was always the daedric prince of madness. As in he was the daedric prince of order and madness while Sheogorath is the daedric prince of chaos and madness after all Jyggalag in his very nature never tried anything different hence why the greymarch always resulted in him becoming Sheogorath again because he does the same thing over and over expecting a different result which is the very essence of madness. It was only through Sheogorath’s actions of bringing someone in to protect his home instead of waiting around for something different to happen that the two separated

He's just a silly little guy

10/10 lore recap. I like how you touched the analysis of Madness as a double edged sword that can bring both creativity and actual insanity, and I also like and agree on your analysis of Jyggalag. It makes a lot of sense that knowing everything and being able to organize it logically has a shade of madness on itself related to obsession. I like to think Order on itself, is not a bad thing, quite the contrary, it literally shapes existence, but if Order is in shackles, freedom is not possible, or something like it, it really makes interesting material for philosophical debating. It seems like an especially happy ending to stop the greymarch because Jyggy seems grateful to be finally set free, which may be a catalyst for him to become a less threatening Prince even, as well as having Sheogorath become a full entity instead of just a curse aspect. Contrary to popular memeing, the definition of insanity is not exactly that, but instead, it has something to do with "the disability to differentiate reality from fantasy". A touch of Madness infuses creativity, but it only becomes insane when that connection to what is actually real, is severed. Personally, I like to think the Champion of Cyrodiil is indeed the same one you meet in Skyrim, however, another fact about Daedric Princes is the fact they can appear as whatever form they choose to. From a developer point of view this makes it easier to present the same design as in Oblivion rather than attempting to recreate your player character from a different game. Might as well have been the Skooma Cat. The important is, he remembered the Oblivion crisis. Another idea going around is that Sheo's personality is eternal, so doesnt matter who the player is, they'll inevitably get overridden by Uncle Sheo, and use that form. But that's the dark and depressing outcome depending on one's view if you played Oblivion. For my own fanfiction/character lore, I do a bit of both, going with the idea that my player had to endure more tests to be able to retain her personality and enough of her sanity to keep existing, and Sheogorath, became a multiple entity which enables the "talking to yourself" thing, which is normally a symptom of insanity, except here, she, and Uncle Sheo are literally 2 separate personalities of the same prince, Actually 3 for my fanfic, but... nobody cares, the point is, there's more than a few ways to theorize what is going on, which is a beauty on itself because of how a single character can inspire imagination enough to make lore theories about them. Finally, there's the idea that both logic and madness already live within us all, so that's actually deep.

I personally believe that the 4th era Sheo is the Hero of Kvatch. The Nerevarine is also most likely alive, hope we can see or hear about both the protagonists in elder scrolls 6

Yeah, this one

It’s pretty cool that the Daedric Prince of Madness is chaotic to the very core. Since the current one not only isn’t the original Daedra, but a random mortal who just gave themself the position.

Whoever was prayed to that made this video (and especially the bit at the end) happened be praised. My entrance to the Elder Scrolls games was Oblivion on the Xbox 360, with Oblivion AND the DLC included all in one sexy little package. I fell in love with the game, ad then the stories of the lore and the games. Sheogorath was a huge shock to my system when I first met him and played through the Shivering Isles, and I think it changed me forever? Just cuz I didn't know games could be so... wild. It's hard to explain, and that doesn't exactly do it justice. It's been a HOT minute since then of course, so that's probably why. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I really loved this video, like every one previous on this channel. Quality content, informative and engaging, interesting and funny, you've got it all here dude. I'm just her to like and comment and share and shout from the mountain tops that you deserve all the best. More subscribers, more love. All of it. Excellent job as always

I just adore Morrowind’s version of Sheo. He asks the Nerevarine to do something absolutely ridiculous, but he does it with a straight face. Makes sense seeing as the ridiculous is normal to him.

Love the videos you put out, as always Ghostcharm! Also really love Wes Johnson at the end, such a great guy!

I’m so excited I could cry. Another beautiful ghostcharm video. God, this man’s voice is so amazing.

So many video essayist KZreadrs out there who just have awful reading voices/tones/cadences. Ghost truly is a blessing in the sphere. Him and Boulder Punch are the only 2 I can enjoy anymore. This channel really is an absolute gem and seeing it thrive makes me so happy. He had such quality and depth off the bat and has only improved from there. Insane.

This video was great, I remember my first playthrough of the Shivering Isles, seeing the hints that not all was as it seemed with the prince, pun absolutely intended 😂 and being fully blown away when I discovered that he and Jyggalag were one and the same. It made so much sense, but was still a slick subversion of my expectations. The portrayal of the citizens of Mania and Dementia contrasted marvelously and I found it fascinating to explore that while Mania was definitely the more outwardly pleasant experience, Dementia actually seemed more inviting and genuine. The people there were absolutely bleak and depressed, but on a whole, they were welcoming and forgiving, while the citizens of Mania were harsh and ruthless, thinking of nothing that did not further their own brand of madness. I ended up siding with Dementia because I figured that the citizens there deserved to be free of the duchess' paranoia and cruelty. I really enjoyed the portrayal of the Golden Saints and Dark Seducers, you imagine the "dark side" to be the ungrateful, demeaning, brutal side, but the Seducers treat you with respect and curtesy, while the Saints belittle you, speak brusquely and are dismissive of your accomplishments and taunt you for your failures. I love the build up of the finale. Sheogorath literally tells you that you'll become him, but everything you know about him and everything you've experienced up to that point says not to believe him. He doesn't usually lie, but he never tells the truth. I'll become him... will he take me over? Will I become a citizen of the Shivering Isles, in essence a part of him as his realm is a reflection of him and it's inhabitants are conduits for his will and being? Will he give me his power so that I'm attacked by Jyggalag and he can escape? I never thought for a moment that I would actually become the mad god, in essence and in form, but then at the end, Jyggalag names you to be Sheogorath, and wishes you well with your realm, then buggers off to wherever Daedra go when they're not mucking about on the mortal plane or invading one of their fellow princes' domains. It was so interesting to have the rug ripped out from under me not by some random, unpredictable twist, but rather by having things play out exactly as planned. Sheogorath's last act as the prince of madness, was to succeed in an elaborate plan that required forethought, planning and preparation, his plan required order. He became Jyggalag before the Grey March even started, he organized, planned and executed, something the prince of madness should not have been able to do. He brought order into his world so that he could save it from being destroyed by that same order. Just an all around great character and great DLC experience. I'd love to see a video about Arcturus Mengsk, the emperor of Starcraft's human faction. I think he has enough lore and subtlety to fit your style of video and I really enjoy the storytelling and lore of the Starcraft universe so it would be great to get your take on his character.

thematically i always saw jyggalag/sheogorath as kind of being a mirror for the concept of entropy, on the case to case entropy is usually seen as smth that introduces chaoticness to otherwise perfect energy transfers, but in the larger picture this entropy is slowly equalling out all energies in the universe. This idea of jyggalag as representing heat death could also be why i believe he is so powerful/feared

Literally exactly what I needed

How on earth did you get a morgan and morgan sponsorship?

I like to think that Skyrims questline indicates the current Sheo is a bit more compassionate. He's less aggressive towards you than what you'd expect and sets in motion a chain of events that seems to put pelagius to rest, freeing him of his madness. I personally like to think the Champion becoming the new mad god has led to a relatively more "heroic" sheogorath

beat Zelda TOTK recently. kept wondering what the game was missing. kept wondering why nothing i did felt like it mattered. i've been reminiscing about Skyrim recently, and how cool and meaningful so many things felt. now i watched this video, and it all became clear. The presentation, the inspiration, the absolute insanity and chaos and grandiosity of everything. This game, and the Elder Scrolls series as a whole I presume, really makes you FEEL important. the presentation is just so god damn solid and immersive. that's something all the other open world games I've seen just can't recreate.

Wes is an absolute treasure and too good for this industry. His absence from ESO is just another bulletpoint in a long list of reasons why that game sucks and has no soul.

This ain't a villainpedia, it's not a heropedia, it's just a good old fashioned pedia

As I was listening, it reminded me deeply of the 2 aspects of the god Saturn. Sequence (represented here by Jygalagg), and opportunity (represented here by Sheogorath).

You make me such a lore enjoyer, there’s not a moment I’m not jumping for joy when I have a hot plate of food and notice a new ghost charm video while I’m perusing the tube.

Jyggalag literally says that capturing the Isles turned him into Sheogorath. If someone as powerful as Jyggalag was turned into Sheogorath, it makes sense that some mortal would also be shaped into Sheogorath upon taking control of the Isles.

Sheogorath's origin as being the Prince of Order is actually quite beautiful. All of his "madness" afterall has an order to it, a method if you will. You can also look at it as, especially within the context of Oblivion's Shivering Isles, Order gives birth to Madness. In this way, Madness is defined, made sure. Given a silhouette. And in our journey so far, it seems Madness gained the upper hand, perhaps upending Order forever, but I say it's the opposite. Given form, Madness can be contained and controlled. Jyggalag's order still remains inevitable, as it is uncaring in how much time has to pass for it to gain dominion over everything. It's actually somewhat dark. By taking up the mantle of Sheogorath and becoming a new, distinct Daedric Prince, we freed Jyggalag to resume his prior life. What is there now, to truly stand in his way? And what road bump will the other Daedra now try to afflict him with, to slow down the inevitable (After all they can't afflict him with Madness again)? How will he alter his calculations? Will he ever come to reclaim Dyus? I hope we see him again in Elder Scrolls VI, when we're old and grey ourselves.

19:21 Amazing, there are legends like that in various real-life cultures, instruments coming from dead women, such as the oud and banjo which have similar stories of a woman being hanged, her legs being the neck and her feet being the head of the instrument (the angled part of strung instruments at the end of the neck, opposite from the body)

Sheogorath is just the personification of how every player really is like. I don't mean this because even you become Sheo in Oblivion, but because of his overall mannerisms. He's extremely bipolar, like, it's obvious, but he does have a sense of endearment towards his things, the people, his palace, all of the Shivering Isles, he has an appreciation for it all, but he does rule with a fist of thorny brambles. And he is manipulative, and he does do things solely for his own gain. But looking back on all Bethesda type games . . . aren't we no different? One moment we're courteous, even generous, next moment we find that one NPC that just really gets under our skin, we want to do the most unspeakably violent things to their naked corpse, and next thing you know you've slaughtered all the guards in the town too. Yeah, no wonder the guy thought we'd all be perfect placeholders on his throne.

Here is something to think on, with the level of foresight Jyggalag had it is almost expected he knew the other princes would turn on him and create Sheo. It would also stand to reason he knew there would be a point in that curse's ebb that he would return but someone else would take up the mantle/curse of Maddness freeing him of it while keeping a hated but needed force amongst the princes, The Padomay to his Anu just how Azura, Nocturnal, and Meridia are intertwined between Light, Dark, and the transition of the day into night and back, though more of a relationship between Meridia and Namira.

I think the Sheogorath we see in skyrim is the Hero of Kvatch since he bears a striking resemblance to the standard character model for the hero that you see when making a character plus he speaks about events that the hero was present for

@JakeMckay1738

He is

I wonder if part of Jyggalag's curse of madness was that for all his foresight, he couldn't see the other princes unite against him. It was unprecedented as you said. It was so unprecedented, so seemingly against their very natures that when they did against him, he started to doubt his own foresight. A doubt he never felt before that the other princes exploited to drive him into madness The Greymarch being Jyggalag's trying to regain his sanity and original plans, only to relapse back in Sheogorath once again.

The Ministry of Truth in Vivec is one of my favorite instances of environmental storytelling in all gaming. At first you're like "what in tarnation is that floating rock," then you learn more about it and your mind races imagining what the scene must've looked like.
