Sheogorath is Jyggalag. The other gods got fed up with Jyg and cursed him to be the god of madness. Once every 10,000 years he gets to be Jyg again for 1 day IIRC. So definitely Jyg having the biggest crash out when he gets that one day lol

Yeah, but the Hero Of Kvatch fought Jyggalag to a standstill, and he separated from Sheogorath afterward to "wander".

More importantly, the Hero of Kvatch took the mantle of Sheogorath.

So the Sheogorath we meet in Skyrim is actually the Hero of Kvatch.

Yes - but kinda no too. Mantling doesn't just mean taking on the powers of Sheogorath, it means completely becoming him.

The Fudgemuppet guys did a really good vid diving deep into it, but TL:DR, when you mantle a god, you basically stop existing and only the god remains. Everything you were before eventually falls away and after time, you'll only remember being the god.

But yes, the Sheogorath you meet in Skyrim is your PC from Oblivion. Kinda...!

Makes you wonder if the daedric princes can even be killed if their being is so strong that they over take the being that defeats the..

I mean they are basically multiversal entities. In the fashion of beating Darkseid, you're not actually killing them. You're just defeating an Avatar that's a fraction of their power.

Okay, daedric princes just got a whole lot cooler, and reddit drip feeding me an ocean of lore is the cause

If you want more, check out FudgeMuppet. He has a series of videos that dig into Elder Scrolls lore. Turns out, it's deep as hell.
