But does his Sheogorath personality go dormant within him, or is his madness completely lost and then regained?


At that point, I'd say merely dormant. In the end when Jyg normally does take the throne, he'd have defeated it all.

At that point he'd turn into Sheogorath again either because of the curse (lame) or because the unpredictability of Mundus drives Jyg insane - or said otherwise the creation of Mundus prevents the concept of predictability to exist fully in the Aurbis.

But then why did he only go insane after conquering the Isles? As opposed to before, or after he was finally defeated?

Sorry for not replying, i've been away for the weekend.

Are you mad because sheogorath touches you? Or does a powerful being become attracted to you because you are afflicted by the same thing as he?

If an emperor of tamriel surrounded himself with daedra, somehow made himself immortal (only the non-dying part), replaced his eyes with creepy feline ones, learnt a spell that dropped people from a great height and committed genocide on the sane elements of tamriels population; Would he then be the god of madness and tamriel the realm of madness?

I think 90% of the people who use the joke don't know the origin. The first three words are actually auto-censored on this forum.

Since people are adding rumors, has anyone else thought that Haskill might be a holdover from Sheogoraths days as Jyg? I doubt it, cause there needed to be some element of sane in the game, as well as something to contrast against the (supposed) insanity.

Still ...

hes still an ayldra

What's an ayldra?

Anywho, he's half-Ayleid, half-something-mystical-and-ambiguous. And he made a pact with Meridia to become somewhat Daedric. The Aurorans are either lesser Daedra who serve Meridia, or Ayleidic followers of Umaril who made a similar pact.

As for the wings, I dunno'. We don't know what species his father is, so maybe he did have wings. However, if he did have real wings, Pelinal broke them off, and the ones we see welded to his armor in "Knights of the Nine" are definately prostetic.

Because that thing Jyg and Sheo both reside in isn't completely Jyg until Jyg takes over and until that time that thing they both reside in isn't the embodiment of prefect predictability but only better then average predictive power with a hint of madness.

Could be that unpredictability is the curse, and Jyggalag, being not creative enough to figure that maybe that's where those other et'Ada went, blamed the jealousy of the other daedra because, as Morrowind shows, petty vengeance is something at least a few of them are into. seemingly predictable, but not actually.
