Hello Lord Sheogorath, long time no see!

I know you've been super busy, but I just wanted to mark the day. It's not a Sundas, but it's the 14th June and The Sundas Anon tradition is 4 years old (even if I haven't sent an ask on a Sundas in a while.)

I send you all of my best wishes! Have an excellent day and take good care of yourself!

I will pour one out in your honor, my friend!!

[the-tharns-speak]

When and why did you meet Sheogorath?

Would he like Saturalia?

I’m pretty sure that I explained how I met Sheogorath and when, like two asks ago.

Given that he is running around with paper garlands and switches between frantically tearing them down and putting up more of them, he absolutely loves this festival.

[glittergummy]

I really wanna know how the player character changes down the line after becoming the new madgod of the Isles.

Honestly that’d be a lot to consider as a continuation but I’ve always felt the longer P/C stays in the Shivering Isles the more they ‘adapt’ to the world.

It’s not so bad at first, things just ‘make more sense’ to them. But then they start to find things funny that they didn’t before, their teeth grow sharp, eyes glow like a cat’s, and their hair slowly turns a ghostly white-

They start to quite literally become Sheogorath, even taking up his name- whether they were uneasy with being called it before or accepting as it’s nothing, they just consider it their own. Do they forget their old name? I guess it depends and how sad that would be.

Maybe they aren’t sad about the change or even notice it, Haskill probably wouldn’t bring it up since he knew this would happen as I’m sure he was told by the original Sheogorath. He wouldn’t have a reason to bring it up unless prompted by P/C.

The longer P/C stays as a madgod, the more they become one. They never leave the isles after this, just left as the title they claimed. But is that such a bad thing?

Sanguine and Sheogorath: *can't stop starring at each other*

Mephala: What's the matter?

Vaermina: They had a drinking contest that lasted for over ten hours, and now they're having a staring contest to see whose eyes were bluer.

Mephala:

Mephala: But both of them have black eyes.

Vaermina: E x a c t l y.

TESSDE AU (+ Lucia :]) (Lucia part 13)

Allora: No.

Kaidan + Taliesin: *spluttering* 'No'?!

Inigo: *shaking his head, leaning against the wall*

Kaidan: Lass, you were literally burnt near to a crisp!

Taliesin: Cherub, reconsider. I don't want to risk you becoming upset and us not be able to help.

Allora: No, you want the chance to be snippy and petty and glare at them while they attempt their apologies. Which, I respect it. But I can't allow you to. So you have to stay outside.

Kaidan: *growls* Love, I know you care about Lucien, but this is a lot to ask of us. You've been in a back and forth since we got to this damned place. Why even bother givin' them the time of day?

Allora: Kai. If your mom was alive and you were in this situation, what would you do?

Kaidan: *glares heatedly* That's a low blow.

Allora: I'm not saying it to upset you, or to dredge up any pain. I want you to understand him, put yourself in his shoes. I'm willing to give them a chance for him, and for Lucia. She doesn't want to lose her father- she's lost enough!

Taliesin: *sighs tiredly, rubbing the bridge of his nose* ...Five minutes. I do not care if they're in the middle of a soliloquy about their feelings on Sheogorath's mounds of cheese, we will be coming in to check on you. If you are at all upset, I will carry you to the cart myself.

Allora: ...Okay. Five minutes. Each.

Taliesin: *narrows his eyes*

Allora: *sticks out her tongue* What, you want them to talk over each other in their apologies? Rush through them? You're lucky I'm agreeing to a time limit at all.

Inigo: I admire your patience.

Allora: [dryly] I'm well practiced.

Taliesin: Less interjections from the peanut gallery please.

Allora: *rolls her eyes* Look. If they offer me money or to buy my favour, guilt trip me, or try to manipulate me, I'll call out for both of you, and we'll leave. No buts, no please, no waiting- we leave. I'll call for Odahviing to head back home- no I will not tell him to eat them, they'd give him indigestion.

Kaidan: *mouth open to snark, closes it and frowns*

Allora: I know what I'm doing. Trust me, I have a history of being played by manipulators. I know how it works. Inigo will stay in here as a mediator, and if I'm incapable, he'll get you. Okay?

Inigo: Even in a tense situation where you both are very grumpy, I would hope you trust my capabilities. It will be okay!

Kaidan: ...

Taliesin: ... *pouts* ...Can't I at least mock them a little bit?

Allora: *chuckles* No. I love you. Get out.

Taliesin: *huffs* So bossy. And yet I love you as well. *steps over to kiss her temple, brushing her hair from her face before stepping back*

Kaidan: *grumbling and arms crossed* Cannae believe this shite...

Allora: *crooks a finger* Come here, pouty. Give me a kiss and then head out.

Kaidan: *sighs through his nose, stepping forward and kissing her lips, pulling away after a moment* Call us immediately if there is a problem.

Allora: I have you on speed dial.

Kaidan: *furrows his brows in confusion but just shakes his head and steps back, leaving the room with Taliesin*

Inigo: *watches Allora sigh and slump tiredly in the bed, walking over to adjust her blankets* Hopefully, in either direction this goes, you will be able to rest soon.

Allora: *yawns, sinking into the bed more* I'd like that... I'm so tired...

Inigo: After being burned alive by a very testy dragon, dealing with healing back up, and romantic and familial issues, I would assume so. It would be weirder if you were not.

Allora: *laughs* Very true. Is Lucia all right?

Inigo: I told her to stay in her room and draw for a little while, while the conversation happened. She seemed sad, but understood.

Allora: *nods, holding his hand and kissing his knuckles* Thank you. I appreciate you being so level headed about everything.

Inigo: *tail waves happily* But of course! Someone needs to be, with all the shouting and upset. While I feel for Julian and like his parents, things have certainly not gone well for you or Lucia, and I cannot say I am pleased about it. But everyone deserves second chances! You gave us all second chances. Why not them?

Allora: *pulls his hands to her cheeks, leaning her head into his palms* Yeah... but only if they mean it, obviously.

Inigo: I believe they will. They have not given me any reason to see their actions as particularly malicious. Ignorant, perhaps. Lots of foots in mouths. But never purposefully hurtful.

Allora: *hums and nods before a knock is heard in morse code: They're here* Okay. Show time. Let them in?

Inigo: *presses a kiss to her forehead before pulling back and heading to the door* I've got your back, my friend.

The talented Jeff Baker is the voice actor for Haskill and Dagoth Ur

and I now have an insane theory: "they are the same character"

why would I say that? b/c He always wore that mask, and b/c I love the idea that Sheogorath tasked Haskill with causing a little chaos on Nirn.

Now at the first battle of Red Mountain when Nerevar Indoril lay dying he bade his dear friend Voryn Dagoth this: "Stay here, loyal Dagoth Ur, until I return."

and what did he do? he followed that task dutifully, and sure Haskill looks like a normal posh old man, but as a daedra his true form is more fluid, and this here is where we get some wiggle room to propose this theory.

Headcanon meme: Clivia, Varen and Sheogorath

Clivia:

A (realistic): She is not dead. She’s ran away from the Empire when she’s found out Molag Kena began to imposter her. Either she’s ended up among the Wyresses at High Rock or she had a tour de oblivion, confirming that there indeed is no acceptable pub anywhere in the Apocrypha.

B (hilarious if not realistic): Has an excellent hand-to-eye coordination and will throw anything at hand at whoever offended her. A shoe, a knife, a table, her own father...

C (heart-crushing to torture friends with): Leovic tried to get heirs. Clivia made sure none of them had made it to the world alive.

D (fuck canon, my canon now): She is happy with Varen now and have a beautiful little daughter who sometimes turns into a cat.

Varen:

A (realistic): He’s a snuggler.

B (hilarious if not realistic): If you boop his nose, he sneezes.

C (heart-crushing to torture friends with): ... I mean, canon has pretty much estabilished he’s got a major survival guilt and suicide problems, what do you want me to do here? Explain in detail his PTSD?

D (fuck canon, my canon now): See Clivia’s D section.

Sheogorath:

A (realistic): Silky hair, silky beard, and when in a cat form, silky fur.

B (hilarious if not realistic): He is extremely good with kids, because when you are a child, things aren’t “crazy”, they are just new. He is in all honesty absolutely baffled.

C (heart-crushing to torture friends with): Every couple of decades he has to “remake” Haskill, because Haskill is still a mortal man and neither his body nor his sanity are really suited to endlessly work in the Shivering Isles. Haskill is aware and every time he begs Sheogorath to stop, to let him go. But Sheogorath needs him too much to cave in, even though he doesn’t want keep tormenting the man this way.

D (fuck canon, my canon now): Saint Daedra of the autistic, ADHD, depressed and otherwise neurodivergent. If you are a nice mortal, he’ll give you a nice coping mechanism, because hey, his gifts are supposed to be a blessing (most of the time), so you shouldn’t suffer from them.

[your-uncle-sheogorath]

Hello Lord Sheogorath! Happy Sunday and long time no see!

I'm glad to see you have awakened; though we might not share the same definition for "brief" when it comes to your nap ^^; Unless you are being sarcastic, and then forgive me for not reading the tone well.

How have you been? Have you really been napping for the last 9 months? (If you have, really, that's a mood and good for you).

I will keep this short; you probably have a lot to do right now. So I will go straight to my usual well wishes: I hope this Sunday and week treats you well, and wish you the best for the days to come. May you, all you care you, and your loved ones receive lots of joy, happiness, and fun!

Take good care of yourself, and have a Happy Sunday.

Hello, Sundas Anon!

Ha-ha. 9 months. That's a good sense of humor you got there.

...

Wait. You are not joking, are you? Look, I was just babysitting Aurelia, having a little vacation, and then I dozed off. Ah... The flow of time can be a capricious thing, especially when comparing your Earth realm to the Shivering Isles. Uh. Haskill. I need Haskill to put everything back in... order.

Always happy to receive word from you! I hope these past months have treated you and your loved ones well!

Take good care :3

[the-tharns-speak]

How did you meet Sheogorath?

A funny question this. Most of the Daedric Princes one doesn't simply meet. Sheogorath, however, is one of those rare Princes whom you might just run into while mind your own business. Of course, most people usually don't recognize him all the time. with that said, the earliest I know I've met him was while I served in the army. Nobody had been taking the siege of the old prison fort well, so it shouldn't have been a surprise. Though I did connect the dots only a month later or so, once the screaming died out.

I presume that this is not the answer you tried to ask after, but it certainly is answer to precisely what you've asked.

[glittergummy]

Player Character completing the Shivering Isles DLC quest line and anyone asks if they know about the daedric prince Sheogorath-

[nerevar-quote-and-star]

So, based on the post @nientedenada made on Altmer names, I've devised the names for my Hero of Kvatch's family, all the way down the line to my Last Dragonborn, Leara.

Avarenya, my HoK; Oromis, my Sheogorath; and their two brothers, Amroth and Rumil, belong to a noble house in the city of Cloudrest. Their father and his brother:

Elmoriar, their father, is the younger of two sons of the Lord of House Stardust. His uncle, Elglorion, maintained a manor house in the city of Skingrad, which he left to Elmoriar in the event of his death. Elmoriar gifted the house to Oromis in 3E 401. Resents his elder brother as he does not believe Celengon takes being heir seriously.

Celengon, Elmoriar's older brother, is the heir to House Stardust, but he is a staunch bachelor. Oromis was originally groomed to be Celengon's heir before Oromis left to join the Arcane University. Celengon becomes Lord Varlarata in 3E 434 and is later succeeded by his nephew, Amroth, in 4E 98.

Their paternal grandparents, Lord and Lady Varlarata:

Elcaranon was the Lord of House Stardust from c. 3E 100 to 3E 434, at which point he was succeeded by his older son, Celengon. Elglorion was his younger brother. He was a strict and practical person both at home and in court.

Lothmiriel was Lady Stardust from c. 3E 100 to until her death in 3E 407. She was not fond of her daughter-in-law, Morwen, but doted on her grandchildren, particularly Avarenya, who was the only girl.

Their mother's side of the family:

Morwen, their mother, is an only child. She is very ambitious and seeks to elevate her station through her children. After the death of Lady Varlarata, she acts as hostess for her father-in-law.

Arkano, Morwen's father was a commander in the Welkynars in Cloudrest. He came from a long line of Welkynars, but is the first to achieve commander since the early Second Era. His grandson, Rumil, serves under him during the first part of his career.

Filiglan, Morwen's mother, was a sister to a respected vintner. Hér pedigree was clean, if lower than typically acceptable. She encouraged Oromis to follow his dream of joining the Arcane University.

The above are the two lines joined in Oromis, Amroth, Avarenya, and Rumil. Therefore, their name is:

'len Morwen Arkano Filiglan 'ata Elmoriar Elcaranon Lothmiriel cal' Varlarata

Avarenya ran away from Summerset in 3E 426. She was subsequently disowned. She then spent the next seven years bumming out in her brother Oromis's house during which time she tried to compete in the Arena and then joined the Fighters Guild. Then everything changed when the Mythic Dawn attacked.

In 3E 433, Avarenya became the Hero of Kvatch. At some point later in the Oblivion Crisis, she and Martin Septim slept together. They were IN LOVE! Not long after that, Martin destroyed the Amulet of Kings, mantled Akatosh, and defeated Mehrunes Dagon. He then turned into stone, leaving Avarenya knocked up and alone.

Subsequently, Avarenya hid out in Oromis's house. She didn't tell anyone she was having Martin's baby — few people knew she was even pregnant. Avsrenya and Martin's son, Magnus, was born in Evening Star, 3E 434/4E 1.

Concurrently:

Oromis, a member of the Arcane University's Council of Mages, has gone to investigate a mysterious door in Niben Bay. About the time his sister kills Mankar Camoran, Oromis mantles Sheogorath.

Amroth, after Oromis has renounced his rights to the house lordship, is Celengon's heir. With his grandfather Elcaranon's death, Amroth is heir presumptive to the Varlarata title. In the decades leading up to the Oblivion Crisis, Amroth fell in with a fringe group, which would later become the ruling body of Summerset.

Rumil is an active Welkynar. He got serious flytime during the Oblivion Crisis. Rumil is the only one having a good time right now.

Avarenya raises her and Martin's son, Magnus, in Skingrad. Despite being disowned by her parents, it is very important to Avarenya to give Magnus an Altmer name. Unfortunately, she never knew Martin's mother's name (neither did Martin), so she inserted a generic "Unknown Mother" type deal into Magnus's name.

Magnus 'len Avarenya Elmoriar Morwen 'ata Martin Uriel Lenvvahta cal' Septim | Racuvarla

While Magnus is technically a Septim, Avarenya gives him a different last name, one which she adopted for herself after being disowned. She belonged to House Stardust, but now her rights to the Varlarata name have been revoked. In response, Avarenya becomes a Fallen Star:

Varlarata = Stardust; Racuvarla = Fallen Star

Oromis, now Sheogorath, bestows a pair of magic rings to his sister which alter outward appearance. Daedric in origin, the rings are made of madness ore and fire, and confuse any Aetheric based magic that may try to undo the enchantment. While the ring does nothing to Avarenya, it changes Magnus's appearance to make him appear fully Altmer rather than Half-elven.

Avarenya is killed in c. 4E 11. Magnus is afterward a ward of Janus Hassildor. At 23, Magnus leaves Skingrad for High Rock, as the political situations in Summerset and Cyrodiil are increasingly tumultuous. He eventually settles in Wayrest.

Magnus appears Altmer, save for his blue eyes, which he got from his father. To cover these, he wears one of the rings Sheo!Oromis gave Avarenya. He meets Linley, a Priestess of Mara, in 4E 80. It is a long time before he tells her his full name. They marry in 4E 85. When they have the twins in 4E 87, they make the conscious decision to change his (famous) parents' names when naming Marelen and Avrose.

'len Linley Ardil Alpenwe 'ata Magnus Atavahta Avarin cal' Racuvarla

In omitting Martin's name and altering Avarenya's, the twins' connection is much less obvious to anyone taking a cursory glance.

Marelen, the older twin, is magically gifted and enjoys trolling the Thalmor agents that nose around High Rock. She marries a Breton blacksmith named Thoronis Ormand (his father Antoine named Thoronis after the Direnni he worked for) in 4E 133. Their daughter, Maragathe, is born in 4E 137. She is killed in 4E 148 by order of Lord Varlarata, aka Amroth, who is unaware he's taken out a hit on his niece.

Avrose, the younger twin, is less headstrong and actionary than her sister. She marries an Altmer teacher in Wayrest, Vorondon, in 4E 119, and they have a son, Erbane, born in 4E 132. She takes in her niece after the deaths of her sister and brother-in-law in 4E 146 and 4E 148.

Magnus dies in 4E 142 while his grandchildren are still young.

Marelen does not give Maragathe an Altmer name. She and Thoronis are more inclined toward Breton culture. Marelen names her daughter Maragathe Elanor Ormand, leaving only a nod to her High Elven heritage in the form of Maragathe's middle name. In contrast, Avrose does give Erbane an Altmer name.

Erbane 'len Avrose Magnus Linley 'ata Vorondon Hendunar Anorien cal' Bostor

in 4E 148, Maragathe goes to live with her aunt and uncle. Avrose's husband, Vorondon, discovering Maragathe to be a prodigy, trains her in magic. Maragathe's lone handicap is her low magicka regeneration rate, due to her being born under the Atronach. Avrose gifts her with a moonstone diamond ring that boosts her regeneration rate (regenerate magicka 100%}.

In 4E 155, a training accident results in the death of Vorondon. While the accident isn't Maragathe's fault, she subsequently runs away from home. Avrose is devastated by her husband's death and her niece's running away. Linley moves in with her daughter and grandson at this time.

In 4E 156. Maragathe joins the Blades under her middle name, Elanor. When she is sent to Alinor to infiltrate the Aldmeri Dominion in 4E 166, she does so using her mother's ring. Maragathe Elanor appears very Breton, save for her height of 5'11" (180 cm), white gold complexion, and the sharper taper to her ears. With the use of her mother's ring, Elanor appears entirely Altmer. Under the cover name Vilya, she devises an Altmer name based on her uncle, who was respected in Wayrest, and though he was not committed to the Dominion, he wasn't vocally defiant of it either.

Vilya 'len Lomiel Atavahta Lenvahta 'ata Vorondon Hendunar Anorien cal' Bostor

"Lomiel" is a fictitious woman Maragathe Elanor Vilya invented to act as her mother. As her uncle is dead, no one can uncover the validity of her lineage, but it is enough for her to gain a position under Elenwen in Alinor.

This is the last use of the Altmer naming scheme in the Racuvarla line. Erbane marries a Breton woman and names his son in the Breton style. Maragathe Elanor Vilya Leara names her children in the Nordic fashion: Martin Ulfricsson and Kyneiren Ulfricsdóttir.

Although if you're shipping Rosewing, Leara's kids are simply Kendov and Kaandrem respectively.

The Varlarata line is continued through Amroth's children Calmirien and Thorondon:

'len Galadien Cuillas Celithil 'ata Amroth Elmoriar Morwen cal' Varlarata

Rumil has one child, a daughter:

Armirel 'len Lindis Caragon Rohiren 'ata Rumil Elmoriar Morwen cal' Varlarata

Armirel, Calmirien, and Thorondon are Erbane and Leara's first cousins twice removed. As of 4E 201, Thorondon is heir to House Stardust.

Cave bear, hagraven claws & Riverwood for Vig

✑ Do you play any other games?

I do!! I've played a lot of Zelda games, both Horizon games, Vampyr, a couple of the Mario games, Resident Evil: Village, Dragon Age games, LittleBigPlanet 1 & 2 [RIP my beloveds . . .], Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, SOMA, Diablo III, Last of Us 1 & 2, Dying Light, Assassin's Creed [though I've only ever completed Origins], Plague Tale, Uncharted . . . the list goes on and on. I've played games since I was a wee child and still play them today. I know I'm forgetting some games but I hope this satisfies your curiosity!

✑ Favorite Daedra quest/weapon?

So this is kind of . . . two different answers. My favourite quest is Sheogorath's. Because he's hilarious. But my favourite weapon is Mehrunes' Razor. I always give it to Serana, because nothing says love like a beautiful dagger . . . .

✑ What skill trees does (OC's name) use?

Vigdis uses archery, one-handed, light armour, sneak, and block! Maybe speech as well, as she's very good at intimidating the shit out of people c;
