Since Daedra are subject to a reincarnation cycle, Jyggalag/Sheogorath was doomed to relive the Greymarch at the end of each era, after which Jyggalag would once again be transformed into Sheogorath. Jyggalag then explains to the player that, when the Daedric Princes were creating their own lands, his power and the rapid expansion of his realm caused the other princes to become fearful and jealous, prompting them to curse him with madness, changing him into Sheogorath, the Prince of Madness.

The player defeats Jyggalag, and the Greymarch stops. As the player defends the Court of Madness from the ensuing invasion of the forces of Order, Jyggalag himself appears and attacks the player. Sheogorath then transforms into Jyggalag, by then revealed to be his alter-ego, and disappears. Sheogorath's and the player's attempts to stop the Greymarch ultimately fail. Sheogorath decides to choose the player as his protégé, whom he sends off on various quests in an attempt to stop the Greymarch. Sheogorath explains to the player that the Greymarch will destroy the realm, and Sheogorath needs a "champion" to stop the event from occurring. Before entering the other areas, the player is summoned for an audience with the mad god Sheogorath. To gain access to the other areas, the player must defeat a creature called the Gatekeeper. Upon entering the realm, the player has access to only one area of the Shivering Isles, called the Fringe. The player enters the realm as an event called the Greymarch is about to occur - in which the Daedric Prince of Order, Jyggalag, completely destroys the Shivering Isles.

The Gate to Shivering Isles from Cyrodiil Once the game is updated the player can access the extra content at any time with any character. The main quest may be delayed or completely ignored as the player explores the game world, follows side quests, interacts with non-player characters, and develops a character according to their taste. Īs with the original game, The Shivering Isles is an open-ended expansion. Enemies increase in difficulty as players strengthen their skills, scaling the game's challenge to the players' strength. This goes against standard role-playing game form, where any skill use garners generic experience points that may be put towards any type of specialization. The player gains experience points through the practice of specific skills, such as gaining archery experience by practicing archery.
