The Shivering Isles does much more than just tack on a new quest or dungeon by delivering an entirely new realm to explore. Bits and pieces of downloadable content were made available fairly regularly after the game's initial release, culminating in The Knights of the Nine compilation, which added a quest line of its own. This isn't the first block of expansion content released by Bethesda so far. If you wind up playing this, chances are you'll remember the name Sheogorath for quite a while after not just because of the screwy spelling, but because the character is genuinely funny. The Shivering Isles, the first real expansion for Bethesda's fourth generation of Elder Scrolls, fills the personality void. But do you really remember him or his mannerisms? Or do you just remember the fact that Patrick Stuart did the voice work for a guy that got slashed to death within ten minutes of starting a game.

The main town in Mania, and the only one which provides any services, is Bliss, which has an Inn and Blacksmith. It represents the creative side of Sheogorath's madness, and tends to have overly bright colors, as opposed to the unnaturally dark colors of Dementia.
