Tamriel:Jyggalag

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Jyggalag is the Daedric prince of Order, but his sphere and other characteristics were not revealed during the early Elder Scrolls games. Prior to The Shivering Isles, Jyggalag had only been mentioned in books such as "On Oblivion" but had not appeared in any games. Jyggalag commands his own Daedra, the Knights of Order, which are spawned from obelisks summoned by his followers, the Priests of Order.

Shivering Isles reveals that Jyggalag is in fact Sheogorath, a fellow Daedric Prince. Jyggalag had grown in power, and the other Daedric princes had grown fearful of him. They cursed him to live as Sheogorath, the incarnation of the thing he hated most. He was, however, allowed to return to his true form at the end of every era in order to retake the Shivering Isles from his mad alter-ago in an event known as the Greymarch. However, once this was done, Jyggalag would be transformed back into Sheogorath, starting the cycle again. At the end of the third era, at the dawn of the Greymarch, a lone Champion of Sheogorath was given the chance to defeat Jyggalag, halting the Greymarch before it could conquer Sheogorath's Realm. This released Jyggalag from his curse, allowing him to remain in his true form. The Champion was then permitted to assume Sheogorath's station in the Shivering Isles. It is unknown yet if Jyggalag will ever return to the Shivering Isles in an attempt to retake them.
