Sorry if this isn't in the right place.

Anyway, I am curious as to the absence of Jyggalag in Skyrim. He has fully seperated from Sheogorath now, and 200 years is certainly enough time to mark his influence on Nirn. He was one of my favourite Daedric Princes, and I wanted to see what kind of artifact and quest he would give me.

I don't know if ther's an in universe explanation for his dissappearance, but I think they left him out of the game so they can keep up the ambiguity of Oblivion/Shivering Isles. In fact I'm surprised Sheogorath's in Skyrim.

He isn't in Skyrim because Jyggalag can't be allowed to be free for too long. And 200 years is certainly enough time for the other Princes to take notice and trap him back in his Sheo-cage.

Jyggalag will never be a full-time Daedric Prince.

What a shame. He was very good and interesting.

Unless of course he decided to behave. For all we know Jyggalag has started a war against the other Princes

champion of cyrodil has assumed the mantle of the mad god id imagine that jygg after spending countless ages being stuck in sheos body has been severely weakend ( which is probaly why you were able to beat him) hell need to rebuild strenght (he was once the strongest) regain new followers which would take more than 200 years of influence

It was all a dream, an elaborate joke by the Prince of Madness.

:D

As has been said above, he was probably put back in his Sheogorath cage, or he said "[censored] this, several ages trapped as my antithesis, no thank you. I'll just head back to aetherius now that I'm free."

I would not be surprise if he become part of DLC feature in the future.

I don't think we gonna see Jyggalag sometime soon. Not that i can really confirm that but, if you listen closely to Sheogorath you might understand why.

Hint: He is indeed the Prince of Madness.

They really don't explain it too much. I mean, they say when the COC is the new ruler, Jyg's just walking around oblivion. So when the COC dies, is Jyg just walking around and suddenly disappears?

I'm not gonna say i understood this correctly and please correct me if i'm wrong, but this is how i figured it out to be, Sheogorath is the prince of madness and he says at one point hes both Jyggalag and Sheogorath, so i took it that Jyggalag is a treath because its in his own realm and hes mad and paranoid and somehow created this out of madness.

My take on Jyggalag is that he was totally delusional about being the sane part of the personality. Remember that the only source of the story about the other Princes inflicting madness on him is his own speech at the end of SI. He sounds sane when he gives it, but don't be taken in!

Sheogorath knew that every 1000 or so years, he'd go completely over-the-top nuts and start destroying his own realm (is that the way a sane Daedric prince acts?), so he did what to could to disarm himself before that happened again by handing the power over to the Oblivion PC (you). You defeat the madgod because you've succeeded in taking that power for yourself via the rebuilt staff, and Jyggy goes off to calm down. When he "sobers up" enough for the Sheogorath personality to take control again, you can bet Sheo will want the power back, and by Syrim's time, he probably has it, and is contently ruling the Shivering Isles again. But he's probably a bit saner this time round, as your time as substitute Madgod will have altered the realm, which is to say, Sheogorath himself. It doesn't really matter to the story if you gave back control voluntarily, or if Sheo just waited until you died of old age (or sooner). The more sane he's become, the more likely he just waited it out.

tl;dr - Jyggalag is back to being Sheogorath, who is happy in his own realm.

That Sheo... Such a troll ^.^

That's not even necessary. A little bit of schizophrenia suits a mad god just fine. He can talk to you (the player character) in his own head just fine.

i think this question would get a better answer in the lore forum.

that being said the skyrim Sheogorath has no beard or daedric eyes (there blind eyes), his hair is longer than previous games statues, and he has no cane, and says things that make me think hes the CoC, not the Jyggalag/Sheogorath of old. Wheres Jyggalag? probably helping the aldmeri dominion destroy nirn

and more discussion that may or may not refute my view

I was quite supprised that he was not in Skyrim as a Daedric quest or such.

My take is that 200 years is not a long time in god terms, alot of people will have still have no idea who he is, perhaps he is after some measure of justice for what the other Deadra did to him.

Jyggalag is now free of the Sheogorath curse folks, due to being defeated at the end of the Greymarch by the Champion of Cyrodiil, who took Sheogoraths place as the "new" Prince of Madness by mantleing him.

Jyggalag doesn't play well with others, he seeks perfect order, and since mundus is so imprefect he wants to wipe it clean. I dont see him talking to mortals or anything unless he can use them to suit his goals. and the only ones that are seeking to erase nirn are the dominion, so i have a feeling hes manipulating them from behind the scenes (future dlc?)

never mind
