responsibility and justice . thaliendir come here on one mission , yes , but another one present self as hirtel run away and citisens plead . after eventual trip to cloud ruler temple , thaliendir would later help in attempt to reclaim castle kvatch - unfortunately , berich inian , jesan rilian , and several other soldiers ( generic NPCs / thaliendir never learn names ) would die in this attempt .
last question first ! thaliendir grow up with disdain for divine religion , in valenwood near-border community that would see larger imperial influence than more remote communities , and subsequently mistreat under divine names . from this frustration , thaliendir would pack up and leave to be known as thali for many years , where travel as artist . what start out as criticisms of cruel worshippers gradually turn more sour against very ideas of divine religions - and then become basis of imprisonment .
did thali really believe in destiny as hero ... not necessarily . but right thing to do is right thing to do , no ? someone would have to pick up and help out , and besides - if emperor personally give pardon , then wow ! take that chance and run before anyone can say otherwise ! maybe will get lucky and prove emperor right , to not have life cut short .
of course , right would not always mean easy ... baurus would die during mythic dawn sponsor meeting , and that was what drive thali to shivering isles . indeed , would become sheogorath before finish main journey , and re-adopt full birth name thaliendir in this time . this in mind , would not reveal truth to anyone apart from martin during last leg of journey - and spend next century gradually transition from exclusively cyrodiilic life to exclusively daedric life .
thaliendir was realistically not very sexually active until shivering isles , and exclusively gay - not guarantee would ever have partner capable of pregnancy ... but technically canonically refer to gatekeeper as child of relmyna and sheogorath , thus could say new gatekeeper is child of relmyna and thaliendir - in which case thaliendir is quite absent father , just as sheogorath before . other than that ... probably not , though demiprinces do seem fun .
post-mantle : this is how men and mer go mad . 13th era sheogorath communicate in language of thoughts - colours and pictures , feelings and urges , dig from depths of memory - all whiz by and near incomprehensible . this alone can overwhelm people into trances . if then add intentional hypnosis to mix , as sheogorath know ins and outs , know how to find and embrace depths of mind ... would really truly enjoy , but mind might never return .
post-mantle : no more blushy embarrassment ! mostly , anyway … usually either solo hypnosis , or else one of prior sheogoraths . 12th era sheo in particular still know how to pull strings from within . would happily trance out for hours on end . days , potentially , but then haskill would have laundry list of obligations to catch up with and totally harsh mellow .

first oblivion gate - arimabari @ tumblr
"What compels your HoK to leap into that first gate? Assume for all intents and purposes that it's impossible to pass through it to get into the city. They have no idea if Martin is dead or alive. No one else is coming with them, and plenty have already died trying to close it themselves."responsibility and justice . thaliendir come here on one mission , yes , but another one present self as hirtel run away and citisens plead . after eventual trip to cloud ruler temple , thaliendir would later help in attempt to reclaim castle kvatch - unfortunately , berich inian , jesan rilian , and several other soldiers ( generic NPCs / thaliendir never learn names ) would die in this attempt .

as hypnotist - original post from tumblr
pre-mantle : mortal thaliendir communicate with sign languages and illusion magic both . some people who lack exposure to illusion magic might find that this is enough to lightly entrance , even though thaliendir do not intend this . further than this , thaliendir would not have much experience , but happy enough to put on magic light shows and let subject chill out .post-mantle : this is how men and mer go mad . 13th era sheogorath communicate in language of thoughts - colours and pictures , feelings and urges , dig from depths of memory - all whiz by and near incomprehensible . this alone can overwhelm people into trances . if then add intentional hypnosis to mix , as sheogorath know ins and outs , know how to find and embrace depths of mind ... would really truly enjoy , but mind might never return .
