** Because ultimately it's ''Sheogorath's'' realm. If he could do that, it would be the same as someone walking into another persons house and legally throwing them out.

*** As an expansion, note that Haskill says that Jyggalag only "wins" the Greymarch when he gets to and order-ifies the Font of Madness, so it seems likely that the place only transitions to being Jyggalag's realm when that happens. He hasn't got to the Font yet, so he's still an intruder when he fights you

* How did Amusei make it to the Thieves Guild, exactly? He shows up as a member towards the end of the questline, and the game just shrugs it off by saying he straightened himself out and decided to join... but he'd ''already decided to join'' when we first met him! He'd wanted to join, but failed his initiation. Did he get a new attempt and passed this time? The wording in the quest update is weird, and I'd like to hear more of it.

** Yes, presumably. You get a second attempt if you fail your first initiation quest, after all, and so does Methredhel. The only reason Amusei doesn't is because performs so poorly in the test that Christophe refuses to offer it to him. Since the quests you do with him prove that he is actually a capable thief (he stole the Countess's ring undetected, he was only caught when he foolishly tried to ransom it back) it's not that strange that they offered him another chance, and he does very well in the Guild thereafter.

** Because of his unfeathered wings he had in the past, before Pelinal Whitestrake cut those off. It's mentioned in passing in "The Song of Pelinal, Book VII".

\n** One: Martin didn't just sit around in Cloud Ruler, he was reading the Mysterium Xarxes to figure out how to reach Mankar Camoran, which is something only he can do- and given the [[ArtifactOfDoom nature of the book in question]], is probably just as difficult and dangerous as actually invading Paradise. Two, we weren't the one to turn into a giant golden dragon and bitchslap Mehrunes Dagon back to Oblivion.




** ''Seeing'' an Elder Scroll and ''reading'' an Elder Scroll are two different things. Your character most likely saw the scroll and had the same reaction you probably did: "WTF is this squiggly writing?"]]

** The 'fork over a Daedric artifact' route involves ''way'' less awkward questions than the 'I'm secretly a Daedric Prince' route, and most of the quests aren't that hard.

** Dialog seems to indicate that the Guild suspected Myvryna for a while; one can't expect to be omniscient to ''every''thing that happens. Lex's ultimate goal is to disband the Guild, which he can do by arresting the higher ups; he doesn't gain much from capturing a subordinate (you). Dialog also indicates Armand ''is'' suspicious of the cupboard thing, but consider if you accidentally pick something up that doesn't belong to you the Guards are all out for your head, it seems that Imperial law values empirical evidence more than conjecture.

\n** That'd be the answer. Specifically, the dragonfires are stated to have gone out when the emperor died. Assuming it went out the instant Uriel died, anyone present would be aware something's gone down.
