After Jyggalag disappears, go to the palace. Haskill will be waiting near the throne. Talk to him. This starts the dialogue for the Prince of Madness quest. You’ll be told about your responsibilities now that you’re the ruler of the Shivering Isles. There’s no combat here — this part is mostly dialogue. The quest is simple but important. You become the official ruler. From now on, you’re the Madgod.

Quest progress and decision making

Once you're seated on the throne, the Isles recognize you as the new Sheogorath. Haskill explains that as ruler, you’ll have to handle conflicts that happen across the Shivering Isles.

You’ll get choices:

• You can go yourself to resolve a situation and get 1000 gold.
• Or you can send guards, which gives you 500 gold.

That’s the main responsibility part. You won’t get forced into every situation, but from time to time, Haskill will show up again with news of something happening. It’s your choice to act or delegate.
