The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
Understanding Madness
1 of 10: You'll find yourself near the exit to the outdoors, so leave Xedilian and fast-travel to New Sheoth's palace area.
2 of 10: Enter the palace and report in to Sheogorath to get a new lesser power that will summon Haskill to you any time and anywhere. (Well, anywhere in the Shivering Isles world, at least.)
3 of 10: Sheo says to try it out, so find it in your magic menu and cast it.
4 of 10: Haskill will appear next to you and talk to you. After you're through talking, he'll disappear after a few seconds.
5 of 10: Talk to Sheo, who'll tell you to use the spell again.
6 of 10: Wait until the first casting of the spell wears off if it hasn't yet, then cast it again. It can be cast any number of times per day, and never costs you any magicka.
7 of 10: After you talk to the summoned Haskill a second time, talk to Sheo again to ask him about a couple of things.
8 of 10: He'll then give you the "Addiction" and "The Lady of Paranoia" subquests, which you can do at any time and in any order.
9 of 10: Another major thing that's now going on is that many of the Obelisks of Order scattered about the Shivering Isles are becoming active. Also, since you're only now able to get lots of the Heart of Order ingredient items, this is a good spot to mention them and crystal chests.
