Dervenin is a Bosmer and the former High Priest of Mania in the Shivering Isles. He preached the Manic beliefs of Arden-Sul in the Sacellum of New Sheoth. His rival was Arctus, the Priest of Dementia. Dervenin came to power within the Sacellum at the whim of Sheogorath; he could only preach his Manic teachings if the Cold Flame of Agnon was lit for Mania. He was responsible for aiding anyone trying to replace the Duke of Mania, which requires sacrificing the duke's Greenmote-tainted blood to Arden-Sul.[1]
Eventually he no longer held his position as High Priest of Mania.[2] He instead became more of a personal servant and plaything for his master, who would play cruel jokes on him.[3]
HistoryEdit
Dervenin helped Sheogorath's Champion on several occasions, working to halt the Greymarch in 3E 433.[4] When Sheogorath abandoned the Shivering Isles, Dervenin was brought to Tamriel with him. In 4E 201, Dervenin was living as a beggar in the Skyrim city of Solitude when he encountered the Last Dragonborn. Dervenin tricked the hero into entering the mind of the long-dead Pelagius Septim III, where Sheogorath had taken up residence. After the Last Dragonborn cleansed the late emperor's mind of the madness which had plagued it in life, Dervenin confronted Sheogorath and pleaded with him to return to the Shivering Isles, eventually persuading him.[5]
