[edit] Lack of Blessing

(moved from article)

Since he does not appear to have the "blessing" of Sheogorath, his entry into the Shivering Isle presumably came about from lucky timing: getting past the unlocked Gates of Madness shortly after you defeated the first Gatekeeper, but before the Resonator of Judgement was reactivated or the Gatekeeper was rebuilt.

Nice theory, but looks like random guesswork to me. --Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 11:34, 13 December 2007 (EST)

The only guesswork is whether or not Pyke is actually insane, or 'blessed' as it were. The only way a sane adventurer can get past the Gatekeeper is to kill it for the keys (at least for the first one. Don't know if new keys were put in the rebuilt Gatekeeper). And then Xedillian comes into play, luring new adventurers into the trap. Then again, maybe Pyke did get caught at Xedillian and went bonkers. Still, the presence of a fellow Cyrodiil resident in the Shivering Isles is both nostalgic and a little jarring-- you know what you had to do in order to get into the place, so you have to wonder just what he did to do the same.Dark Spark 00:32, 14 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] Essential

I don't think he's essential, I saved the settlement for gold and he died by the hand of the creatures. Puddle 16:53 April 11, 2008

Fixed. He's essential until the end of the related quest. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 11:58, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
