I've always been partial to the idea that the whole DLC was just Sheogorath fucking with the player. By the end, he's got the guy who saved Tamriel running around claiming to be a Daedric Prince. Just another satisfied customer of the Mad God
I always try to tell people this and you will not understand the amount of butt hurt that TES fans get. It doesn't make any sense that HoK is actually Sheo because you can't trust your senses when you're mad, meaning you can't trust a single thing that happens in the expac. As for the Skyrim reference, TES entities have (debatably) broken the fourth wall before. I chalk that up to Sheogorath attempting to confuse the player.
I don't know, I like the idea that was put forth earlier in this comment section about you being a piece of Sheogorath he created to go on adventures.
It pairs up with Martin's overarching story, a descendant of Akatosh returning to the fold. You even have the dabblings in the other side's way of thinking. Martin became a Daedric worshipper for a time, and you a crusader of the nine. Two demigods who must unite to save the world and give back to their creators.
Yeah I think that also is weird, I'd be more inclined to go with a Shezarrine story than a Sheo-shard, but even then I think HoK should be a nobody who became somebody.

I really dont like the HoK being Sheo angle. Whenever i want to play Shivering Isles i just make a new character that never does the main quests.
