§16 – JYGGALAG; whose sphere is higher order.
Whilst little is known about him, he represents logical order and deduction, and has taken
account of every detail of the world and of every action that has ever taken place
on Mundus or Oblivion, long before they actually happened. Jyggalag commands his own
Daedra, the Knights of Order, which are spawned from obelisks summoned by his followers,
the Priests of Order. 26
Jyggalag is a unique Prince in the fact that he is the only one that is currently without a
Plane of Oblivion. This occurred as in the time before recorded history, Jyggalag's realm of
perfect order expanded across the seas of Oblivion, and the other Daedric Princes had
grown fearful and jealous of him. They cursed him to live as Sheogorath, the incarnation of
the thing he hated most: madness. Sheogorath and Jyggalag became one, with the latter
only being able to have power over Sheogorath’s realm of “The Shivering Isles” at the end of
every era for a short period of time 27 before become one again, and the influence being
reversed.
§17 – MALACATH, whose sphere is the patronage of the spurned and ostracized, the
keeper of the Sworn Oath, and the Bloody Curse. 28
Malacath is not recognized as a Daedric Lord by his peers, which fits his sphere perfectly.
Other names include "Mauloch", the "God of Curses", "Orkey", "Old Knocker" or "Orc-
Father". Malacath spurns physical weakness, hence the above-average strength o f the
creatures associated with him. The hideous and stupid Ogrim are the servants of this "bad
daedra". Many accounts paint Malacath as a Prince who is very protective of his followers
and who becomes vindictive when they are wronged. 29
His plane of Oblivion is Ashpit, which is described as consisting only of dust, palaces of
smoke, and vaporous creatures:
"anguish, betrayal, and broken promises like ash filled the bitter air".
Levitation and magical breathing are necessary to survive there. 30
§18 – MEHRUNES DAGON, whose sphere is Destruction, Change, Revolution, Energy, and
Ambition. 31
