Sheogorath lounged, no, *folded*, across the jagged throne of New Sheoth, his posture somewhere between regal indifference and a marionette with tangled strings. The throne room, vast and echoing, felt wrong in its silence. No courtiers. No manic laughter. No trembling petitioners.

He had dismissed them all.

Even Haskill.

That, in itself, should have been alarming.

In his hand rested a mortal-bound tome, its spine worn, its pages smelling faintly of dust, ink, and something *far too grounded* for a place like this. A historical account of the Oblivion Crisis. He had read it before, many times, perhaps. Or never. Time was such a slippery little eel.

He stopped abruptly.
