Ritual of Accession Walkthrough
| 1 | Talk to Sheogorath |
|---|---|
 At the Palace of Sheogorath, talk to Sheogorath. He will ask you to become the sovereign of either Mania or Dementia. |
|
| 2 | Speak with the High Priests |
 You will then have to choose between two quests: Ritual of Mania or Ritual of Dementia. Before you decide, speak with the duchy's High Priest—Dervenin for Mania and Arctus for Dementia. |
|
| 3 | Tell Sheogorath Your Decision |
 After speaking with both High Priests, make your decision by telling Sheogorath which duchy you plan to rule. This will immediately begin the corresponding quest. Note that you can only choose one duchy, as choosing locks out the other. |
Should You Choose Mania or Dementia?
Choose Any Duchy You Like
Both the Ritual of Mania and the Ritual of Dementia quests have the same objective: assassinate the ruling Duke/Duchess and claim their throne. There are no key difference between the two quests and the main story still ends the same regardless, so players can choose whichever duchy they prefer.
Both Quests Grant Similar Rewards
Both quests reward you with the Ring of Lordship for the duchy you conquer. The only difference is the Conjuration spell you receive: Ritual of Mania grants you the Summon Golden Saint spell, while Ritual of Dementia gives you the Summon Dark Seducer spell.
Both spells are equally powerful, so your decision comes down to personal preference for the duchy and its guardians.
