Daedric Forces of Order The Daedric Forces of Order were a powerful Daedric army that served the Daedric Prince of Order , Jyggalag . Composed of both Daedra and mortals , the Forces are most famous for their acts during the numerous Greymarch es . History . The date of the formation of the Forces of Order is unknown . It is possible that the Forces were one of the first Daedric armies . In the early days of Oblivion , Jyggalag was one of the more powerful Daedric Princes . Using his army , composed at that time of nothing but his Knights of Order , Jyggalag expanded his dominion across Oblivion for millennia . The other Daedra Lords , fearing that Jyggalag ' s sheer might could one day overwhelm them , banded together and cursed Jyggalag with the very antithesis of his sphere — Madness . They transformed him into a new Daedra Lord , Sheogorath , Prince of Madness . The Forces of Order summarily vanished with their leader . Sheogorath transformed Jyggalag ' s realm into his own , the Shivering Isles . Greymarch . Order would not be banished forever , though . By the nature of the curse , Jyggalag was allowed to return at the end of every millennium . The Forces of Order , by extension , would also re - enter the Shivering Isles by way of crystalline obelisks , remnants of Jyggalag ' s Realm . The Knights of Order would overwhelm the Isles , and Jyggalag would lay waste to them . When at last Jyggalag had completely re - conquered his Realm , he would be turned back into Sheogorath . Thus was the cycle of the Greymarch , occurring without end for millennia . An end would come eventually , though . Sheogorath , tired of seeing his Realm destroyed time and again , thought up a plan to stop the cycle and end the Greymarch . If the Throne of Madness was occupied when Jyggalag arrived , then there was a chance that he could be defeated and the cycle would end . Sheogorath chose a mortal to act as his champion , none other than the famous Hero of Kvatch , shortly before the beginning of the Fourth Era Greymarch . The war would begin with a frontal assault on the Fringe of Madness . Priests of Order — mortal inhabitants of the Shivering Isles that swore allegiance to Jyggalag — reactivated the Great Order Obelisk beneath the Passwall Spire in the Fringe , opening a massive doorway through which Order would be able to launch its attack . The subsequent battle would be a major success for Order , until the intervention of the Hero , who managed to infiltrate the Spire and deactivate the Great Obelisk , cutting short Order ' s offensive . Matters were further complicated by the construction of a new Gatekeeper , which prevented Order forces from entering the Isles through the Gates of Madness . Order ' s offensive was not ended , though . The defection of one of the Dukes of Madness to the Priests of Order brought Order a powerful advantage . The Battle of the Stronghold was the making of the traitor duke , who allowed Order entry into one of the strongholds of the Forces of Madness . This siege would eventually be lifted by the Hero . The traitor duke then formulated the idea of attacking the Wellspring of Madness beneath the New Sheoth Palace . This too would be ended by the Hero , and the traitor duke killed in the fighting . Having been stripped of their prime strategist , the Forces of Order were left no other option than a forward assault . The Battle of New Sheoth was begun then , with Order attacking the Palace through two Obelisks in the courtyard . The Hero , having replaced Sheogorath as Madgod , led Madness ' defense . At the apex of the battle , Jyggalag recalled his Forces and faced the Hero himself . The Hero succeeded in defeating him , ending the Greymarch cycle and freeing Jyggalag from the curse . The Daedric Forces of Order retreated from the Shivering Isles . Forces . The Forces of Order were composed of only one type of Daedra , the Knight of Order . These were humanoid Daedra , covered in crystalline armor and wielding cystal Order Swords . During the Greymarch , mortals in the Shivering Isles who believed that Order would be victorious betrayed Sheogorath and swore an oath to Jyggalag , becoming Priests of Order . These Priests were given power to activate Order Obelisks , and could not be killed so long as the Obelisk was active . In addition to soldiers , the Forces of Order also employed many other items that were affiliated with their sphere . These were :
