  1. As a witless stranger, you enter an alien world, ruled by weird rules understandable only to a mad god. There you are recruited by Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness, as his champion -- the only hope for his realm... the culmination of everything that he has worked for and accomplished for an era. One task by one, you struggle to suit your new title and gradually earn the respect and esteem of an entire world.
