Summary

Sheogorath is the Daedric Prince of Madness, who exists inside the subconscious of every mortal and whose motives are said to be unknowable. According to Aldmeri Myth, Sheogorath was born when Lorkhan's Heart was ripped from his chest, with the Mad God forming from the "Sithis-Shaped Hole" left in the world. His Plane of Oblivion is known as the Shivering Isles (Though also called "The Madhouse" or "The Asylums"), and consists of a main landmass surrounded by a group of smaller islands, and is divided into two halves: Mania and Dementia, Sheogorath's split personality, the "two shades of madness".

The northern highlands of Mania consist of verdant fields with brightly colored plants and fungi, and represents the lighter side of Sheogorath. They are inhabited by harmless trickster daedra, whimsical revelers and insane artists. Meanwhile, The marshy lowlands of Dementia consist of dreary swamps and forests of dead trees, and represents the darker side of Sheogorath. They are inhabited by violent, sadistic daedra, paranoid schizophrenics and delirious psychopaths. Each half is ruled by a duke, with Sheogorath himself residing in the Capital City of New Sheoth, ruling over both Mania and Dementia as King.

Powers and Abilities: Abstract Existence (Type 1.

Gods from outside of the mortal plane are completely beyond linear time and reside in a state where all events are always happening simultaneously,^[5][6] being as such unbound by cause, duration, consequence and eventuality,^[7][8] with their lives being described as unable to support most of the qualities of a narrative.^[1]), Causality Manipulation (Similar in nature and power to other greater Ada such as the Eight Divines, who are stated to be capable of modifying both the past and the future at their leisure^[9]), Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3 and 5. Gods are unbound by the concepts of Life and Death, which only came to be during the creation of the Mundus,^[10] and even incomplete deities such as Vivec can resurrect themselves at will from the timeless world of the gods^[5]), Resurrection, Higher-Dimensional Existence, Weather Manipulation (Capable of freely changing the weather and climate of the Shivering Isles, as it, being an extension of his being, reflects his moods as well. All thunderstorms are also said to be his domain, and he can be summoned wherever there is one^[11]), Time Manipulation (The nature of time in the planes of oblivion is completely subjective and determined exclusively by the will of the governing Prince, with the inhabitants of such planes being stated to not be subjected to time itself, but to their masters alone^[12]), Spatial Manipulation and Higher-Dimensional Manipulation (Being simply extensions of their being,^[13][14] a Daedric Prince's personal realms are under their full control both in form and structure, with the more charitable ones being able to freely alter their number of dimensions as to create vistas comprehensible to the minds of mortals on a whim, as well as adopt the trappings of linear time to better suit interaction with them^[15]), Large Size (Type 10), BFR, Teleportation, Telekinesis, Incorporeality, Telepathy, Portal Creation, Soul Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, Magic, Chaos Manipulation and Probability Manipulation (Daedric Spirits come to power by harnessing the chaos of possibilities that is the void of Oblivion,^[16] being unable to truly create,^[17] and instead only rearranging formless potential into something concrete. Dyus also describes Sheogorath as being the essence of chaos itself,^[18] with this nature making him utterly and completely unpredictable, even by Dyus, who can logically deduce all possible events in creation, both in Mundus and Oblivion, through the formulae developed by Jyggalag^[19]), Reality Warping, Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1. Immensely above minor gods such as the Ideal Masters, who are stated to live in a platonic ideal of their own making beyond the Mundus.^[20]), Energy Manipulation, Law Manipulation and Physics Manipulation, Transmutation, Mind Manipulation, Madness Manipulation (Types 2 and 3. Personifies and holds absolute control over the very concept of madness, being himself directly responsible for every mortal that has ever gone insane, and existing as a shadow within the subconscious of all creatures^[21]), Sound Manipulation and Information Manipulation (The entirety of the Aurbis is, in fact, a song,^[22] and entities with divine power are capable of manipulating the underlying tones of existence by acknowledging that principle, shaping reality through the manipulation of stories and archetypes,^[23] making myth^[24] and metaphor^[25] manifest)

Attack Potency: High Hyperverse level (As a Daedric Prince, Sheogorath is one of the primary Ada that fundamentally maintain and comprise the infinitely-dimensioned^[26] Void of Oblivion, holding absolute domain over and personifying one of the sixteen partitions that make up the entirety of the realm and represent the empty spaces behind the spokes of the Wheel of the Mundus^[27])

Speed: Immeasurable. Omnipresent within the Shivering Isles

Lifting Strength: Immeasurable

Striking Strength: High Hyperverse level

Stamina: Infinite

Range: High Hyperversal (Can freely traverse through Oblivion, an infinite-dimensional void which encompasses all possibility and contains an endless number of individual daedric realms)

Standard Equipment: The Staff of Sheogorath, The Wabbajack.

Intelligence: Supergenius. By virtue of his status as a Daedric Prince, Sheogorath, in both power and awareness, ranks highest among all Daedra, of which even the lowliest are said to have witnessed all of mortal existence, and to have a far more attuned sense of the Aurbis' scale and nature than even the most erudite of mortal scholars, boasting of a much broader ontological framework fit to dealing with the paradoxical nature of the higher realms.^[28] Further, in spite of his non-chalant, silly behavior, Sheogorath is a force to be reckoned with in the intellectual field, his madness being no hindrance to his cunning, which has allowed him to outwit all of the other Daedric Princes in occasion^[29] (Himself included).

Weaknesses: Completely Mad, and thus often behaves in illogical, erratic and reckless ways, rarely taking matters seriously and often treating everything as a joke.
