dremora-like head with horns, always with a bottle in his hand or a whore under his thumb.
He is thought to control thousands of realms.
The term sanguine can mean either "cheerfully optimistic" or "bloody"; the double meaning
is appropriate for a prince whose realm encompasses both the light and dark sides of
passion.”
Scamps: “Scamps are the weakest Daedra encountered in Oblivion.”
(the) Scuttling Void: “Namira’s realm of Oblivion is the Scuttling Void. [It] is an eternal
dimension about which little is known other than its name.”
Shade Perilous: “A once assessable Plane of Oblivion belonging to Nocturnal that is no
longer assessable.”
Sheogorath: “Sheogorath is the Daedric Prince of Madness. He is sometimes referred to as
the Mad Star, the Mad Lord, the Mad One, and the Mad God among other things. The Mad
God typically manifests [himself] as a seemingly harmless, well-dressed man often carrying a
cane, a guise so prevalent it has actually been coined "Gentleman With a Cane".”
Sphere (of Influence): “A Daedric Princes’ sphere of Influence is the set of personality,
factors, or behaviour that they rule over. They cannot pass this, and they behave
accordingly – thus knowing the mortals of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’.”
Spiral Skein: “Her [Mephala’s] realm of Oblivion is the Spiral Skein. It is metaphysically
constructed in a similar manner to a wheel. At the centre is the Tower, known only as the
Pillar Palace of Mephala, since its true name is too awful to be uttered. The Spokes are
called the Eight Strands of the Skein, and the spaces in between are each devoted to a
different sin. The first is a cavern devoted to lies, filled with pedestals pretending to hold up
the sky. The second is made up of cramped chambers representing envy, while the third is
maggot-filled grottoes filled with seductive light. The fourth contains eternally dark tunnels
of fear; the fifth, a place of betrayal; the sixth, an arena of murder. The seventh space is
home to arcades of avarice and appetite, containing all things mortals would kill or die for,
while the eighth is a flaming skein of fury, representing the death that comes to all mortals.
Mephala's realms are said to be numerous and obscured, collected together by vast strands
of magical ghost-web. All of them are devoted to her spheres of sex and secret murder.”
Summoning Day: “A day in which - the connection between the worshipper and the Prince
being strong enough – the spiritual bond grows, and the worshipper may have a more
intimate relationship with the Prince thereafter 106 . This is oft celebrated like any religious
holiday, with prayers, meditation, devotionals, and a zealous attempt to connect intimately
with the Prince on a psycho-telepathic level.”

Provided the worshipper celebrates it well, to the satisfaction of the Prince.
