Arden Sul

Arden-Sul was the first Duke of the Shivering Isles, said to be "the greatest Duke of the ages" and "a savior."Dialogue with Dervenin during "Ritual of Accession" in 
==Biography==
Details of his life are unclear, as the Mania and Dementia side of the Shivering Isles have opposing beliefs on the personality and life story of Arden-Sul. He is generally worshiped as the most Manic or Demented individual ever to live, and has a congregation at the Sacellum Arden-Sul in New Sheoth.
The guidelines on how to become a new Duke or Duchess of Dementia or Mania, the "Ritual of Accession," were set forth by Arden-Sul himself.Dialogue with Arctus during "Ritual of Accession" in 
According to the priest of Dementia, Arctus, Arden-Sul's body is "beyond Oblivion," while his soul is always watching, ready to pounce. The priest of Mania, Dervenin also believes Arden-Sul is still exerting influence over the land.
===Mania===
The Mania side of the Shivering Isles regard Arden-Sul as "the Artificer Superior," known for his craftsmanship and honeyed-tongue. There is no fear in speaking Arden-Sul's name freely, with the priest of Mania enjoying the sound of it.
According to the Mania side, Arden-Sul held a night of absolute indulgence to celebrate his fondness for his brethren. However, the over-consumption of Greenmote, which flowed like water in a stream, caused the hearts of the revelers to explode out of their chests. The lifeblood then flowed from their lifeless bodies. This incident became the guideline for how to ascend to the dukedom of Mania.
The Heretics of Mania, on the other hand, view Arden-Sul as the true leader of the Shivering Isles, rather than Sheogorath. They refer to Arden-Sul as "he who gave his heart's blood."Heretical Thoughts
===Dementia===
The Dementia side of the Shivering Isles regard Arden-Sul as "the Dark Deceiver," the bringer of pain and pleasure. One who is not a true Demented should not utter Arden-Sul's name lightly.
According to the Dementia side, Arden-Sul suspected a traitor in his midst. To find the traitor, he fed poisoned wine to his allies and killed them all. He then removed their hearts and used an ancient scrying technique known as "visceromancy" to read the lifeblood. When Arden-Sul could not find the traitor, he tore out his own heart in distress. This incident became the guideline for how to ascend to the dukedom of Dementia.
The Zealots of Dementia, on the other hand, believe Arden-Sul, or he "who reads the winds in our entrails," to be the mortal aspect of Sheogorath.Zealotry
