Manual of Xedilian Summary . " Manual of Xedilian " explains how to activate Shivering Isles ' defense systems and how they work . Content . On the subject of Xedilian ' s construction , Lord Sheogorath , let me begin by extending the warmest regards to you and your noble being . The construction was completed on time and well under budget as you demanded ( " under pain of fun , " I believe you are quoted as saying ) and with only the most infinitesimal loss of life . I am proud to say that by harnessing the energy of that most unusual crystalline formation , Xedilian should maintain itself for years to come ( with proper maintenance of course ) . At your request , I have included the full operation instructions for each section of the site . If you have any other questions , please feel free to bother me anytime ( like when you originally thought of this idea in the middle of the night ) . The heart of Xedilian is its power source , the Resonator of Judgment . By tuning this huge chunk of crystal with the Attenuator of Judgment ( a " tuning fork " of sorts ) , we have released a wave of siren - like sound that will draw anyone from outside the Isles . Three Focus Crystals have been placed throughout the site to assist in keeping this wave of sound even and stable . This site will not function without all three Focus Crystals running in unison , so it ' s important to keep them clean and safe on their " cradles " ( which I have called their Judgment Nexus ) . The Focus Crystals are irreplaceable at this time , so take proper precautions guarding the site when not in use . Xedilian is split into three encounter areas all linked with the latest in arcane transport technology . As the hapless " Xedilianites " ( it was fun to experiment on them , thank you for that ) make their way through each room , they are subjected to a test based either on the Manic philosophy or that of the Demented . . . whichever suits your whim at the time . All you need do is push a single button , then sit back with your favorite wine ( we ' ve provided luxurious observation platforms from which to enjoy the show ) and watch the results . Each encounter area has a unique theme that matches your requests as close as we could provide . I think you ' ll be pleased with the results . Below I have detailed each room and the effects you can expect from them ( in brief , as I know your lordship is busy ) : Chamber of Conversion . A fairly empty room with a large grating on the floor and single , half - sized " harmless " Gnarl wandering in the center . Manic Result Our small , harmless Gnarl will be grown in size to nearly thrice that of the average Xedilianite . Most we observe run around in an attempt to escape the lumbering creature . Eventually , it will stop and fade away . The magic of the room is enhanced by the spore gas we pump in through the grating . Demented Result Our tiny friend Gnarl is joined by a small swarm of its brethren and they attack our surprised guests ! Genius ! Chamber of Avarice . In this room , a huge mound of treasure sits atop a half - ziggurat inside a securely locked cage ( to which there is no key ) . Manic Result We drop several hundred keys to the ground that are all exact duplicates . It ' s amusing to watch Xedilianites scramble through the keys for the correct one . Some spend days . Amazing . Demented Result When the Xedilianite reaches the top of the ziggurat ; we blast them with a highly concussive flame spell . The blast always sends them flying . . . good fun for all , discounting those that do not survive . Chamber of Anathema . As you requested , we saved this one for last . The Xedilianite that has the mettle to make it this far now faces the toughest challenge of all . This room features freshly killed corpses , blood , and plenty of hanging bodies ( for your darker moods , my lord ) . Manic Result We kill the Xedilianite , and cause a specter of his former self to rise from the body . Not many Xedilianite minds can handle this one . . . most go insane this far into the site . I must confess , this room is a favorite of mine . Demented Result Nothing better than a good old - fashioned battle ! We raise at least double the number of zombies as there are Xedilianites and let them all have at it ! Simple , elegant , and deadly . I hope you are pleased with the results of Xedilian . I know you ' ll have just as much fun using it as we had fun constructing it . Strangely , we have yet to receive payment for the site , but I am sure it is just a minor oversight and it will be corrected as soon as your lordship has a mome . . .
