The town of Split also lies along the divide, as does the Fringe. It is also divided into two sections, Bliss on the Manic side and Crucible on the Demented. The capital city of the realm is New Sheoth which lies on the eastern side of the Isles. The lawbreakers of the region are imprisoned in the root tunnels of Corpserot Passage. The Halls of Pinnacle Rock contain the Wellspring of the Mazken. The ruins of Vitharn are a place of ill repute, once populated by souls cursed by Sheogorath. The villages of Deepwallow and Fellmoor offer relative safety from the monsters that roam the swamps. The marshes of Shallow Grave and the Hill of Suicides are also important landmarks. Two peninsulas can be found here: the Heretic's Horn and the Madgod's Boot. The Low Road and Pinnacle Road are the two main routes through the region. The marshy lowlands of Dementia represent the dark and violent side of Sheogorath, and are mostly made up of swamps and forests of dead trees. The lawbreakers of the region are imprisoned in the deadly ruins of Aichan. The halls of Brellach contain the Wellspring of the Aureal. The villages of Highcross and Hale appear welcoming but are populated by harmless maniacs. The Isle of Flame, the Laughing Coast, the peninsula of Saint's Watch, and the Jester's Spine Mountains are important geographical features in the region.
It is similar to Vvardenfell's West Gash region in appearance, with expansive grasslands and huge mushroom trees. The northern highlands of Mania reflect the lighthearted side of its ruler's madness. The Enjaen Sea borders to the east, with the Emean Sea to the west. The Shivering Isles consists of one major island with two distinct regions. With the help of the Last Dragonborn, Dervenin persuaded Sheogorath to return to the Shivering Isles. Dervenin, the Priest of Mania, came in search of the Mad God to beg him to return, eventually coming to the city of Solitude in Skyrim. Circa 4E 201, Sheogorath abandoned the realm on a "vacation", visiting the mind of long-dead Thoriz Pelagius Septim III the Mad. Travelers from Tamriel passed through the realm in the early Fourth Era. As Sheogorath, the Champion of Cyrodiil stated that the title of Mad God is one which "gets passed down from me to myself every few thousand years". A similar process seems to have taken place at a previous Greymarch, despite Sheogorath's belief that this was a novel approach by the Champion. Jyggalag thanked the Champion, and departed for the Waters of Oblivion, leaving the Champion to rule the realm as the new Prince of Madness. In a final battle against Jyggalag, the Champion emerged victorious and freed the Prince from his curse. The Champion took on the role of the Madgod with the aid of Haskill and Dyus by recreating the Staff of Sheogorath, the symbol of power in the Isles. In the end it was of no use, and Sheogorath disappeared. The Champion rose in ranks in the Court of Madness, and fulfilled many tasks to prevent the populace from turning to Order. This age-old cycle was finally ended in 3E 433 when the Champion of Cyrodiil became Sheogorath's champion, and aided the Prince in halting the Forces of Order. Sheogorath is then left to rebuild his dead realm. The cycle is completed when Jyggalag himself appears and takes the Palace, capturing the Font of Madness. Many of Sheogorath's subjects default, and become Priests of Order. It begins with the appearance of the Knights of Order, who slowly invade the isles using the obelisks as conduits. However, he could not bring himself to destroy the knowledge that Dyus possesses, so instead he forbade him from dying and imprisoned him in the ruins of the library at Knifepoint Hollow.Īt the end of every era, Sheogorath was allowed to take his true form and retake the realm. When Sheogorath discovered the library he had it burned, insisting that it was an abomination and that personal choice defied logical prediction. Only two relics remained: the many crystal obelisks which dot the Isles, which he could not permanently remove and Dyus, Jyggalag's chamberlain and the keeper of the Great Library of Jyggalag, which contained the logical prediction of every action ever taken by any creature, mortal or Daedric. Jyggalag became Sheogorath, and destroyed all aspects of order in the realm. The other Daedric Princes feared Jyggalag's immense power, so they cursed him to become the Prince of what he despised most of all: Madness.
The Shivering Isles was originally the Realm of Order, the domain of Jyggalag.
