  1. I'm very surprised you didn't catch the typo "Vaernima" while reading and speaking the lines. Maybe this is the work of the Mad God making the grammar police insane

  2. I would love a story about Sheogorath and Vivec, because Vivec is incredibly mentally ill.

    Vivec's madness:
    *Vivec obviously feels guilt as he hides secret confessions in Lessons, and he forces his loyal soldiers to wear the face of his murdered friend.
    *Vivec's identify issues are extreme where he tries to be all things, "every race, every gender, every hero, both divine and finite."
    *Vivec's daddy issues are also extreme. He denies even having a father in his lessons and murder the Nerevar, the father-figure in his life. The most extreme sign of Vivec's daddy issues is his abusive, romantic relationship with Molag Mal.
    *His narcissism helped him achieve Chim. His ego also brings him to the justification that the Dunmer are better off killed by Baar Dur than to not have him as their god.

  4. Sheogorath is so damned dangerous because his morals are not human or even daedric morals. The other daedra might range from lawful good to chaotic evil depending on the nature of whatever daedric prince you are talking about. But they are all pretty consistent to their ethics. Sheogorath however can range from chaotic good all the way to chaotic evil at any given moment. The only thing he is consistent about if being chaotic. He is the embodiment of insanity. For that reason alone anyone would have to already be insane and thus already in his grasp to even consider trusting him.

  5. The fight between Hircine's beast and Sheogorath's bird is one of my all-time favorites in ESO lore. I think there's another lesson hudden in there as well – the bird represents madness and self-destructive impulses, those itches that you must scratch no matter what. While you can be powerful and indomitable, you can never be saved from yourself or your own madness.

  6. It’s curious to me that Emmeg Gro-Kayra, the Orcish champion and Malacath-son that Sheogorath chose as the subject of his trick against Malacath, appeared to be on the path to leaving Malacath behind entirely, prior to his demise.
    He was a wandering warrior who left his stronghold, and his people, to ‘crusade’ around high rock, saving merchants and innocents… earning renown. Such an orc would not have remained an outcast for long. Indeed, through valour and victory, he would have likely achieved success and prestige through the sphere of Boethiah, Malacath’s archenemy. The Khajiit curiously consider Boethiah to be ‘Boethra’, a wandering outcast warrior similar in many ways to Emmeg. A coincidence, to be sure, but an interesting one.

    Malacath’s own son, leaving His sphere behind to become a reflection of His most hated foe in all of creation. Such a Boethian betrayal, even inadvertently, would have surely cut the Prince of Vengeance to his core, if Sheogorath had not got there first.

    Such a curious Orc for the Madgod to have picked to prove his point…
