Shivering:Greymarch

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The Greymarch is an event that happens at the end of every era in the Shivering Isles, intended to wipe out the entire realm so that Sheogorath must rebuild it. It starts with the appearance of large crystalline obelisks that emerge out of the ground. These obelisks produce and are the power source of Jyggalag's minions, the Knights of Order and Priests of Order. The Greymarch is the end of the cycle that the Daedric Princes cursed Jyggalag to endure every 1,000 years. The player's task in the Main Quest of Shivering Isles is to stop the Greymarch; Sheogorath hopes that having a mortal on his throne, commanding his army against him, will be the key to doing so.

Every previous Greymarch that occurred in the Shivering Isles was characterized as an assault of undefeatable brute force, with very little in the way of subterfuge or any variation to previous methods. During the course of the Main Quest, both Sheogorath and Haskill will note that the Forces of Order appear to be adapting their tactics in response to your actions, something which never happened before with any previous Greymarch. This has the effect of encouraging the Prince of Madness, even if the new developments pose grave new threats to your ultimate success.
