Dementia
"Time spent in Dementia is time not spent elsewhere."
—A classic saying[1]

Dementia is a region of the Shivering Isles located in the marshy southern lowlands of the main landmass. It represents the dark and violent side of Sheogorath, and is mostly made up of swamps and forests of dead trees. The Low Road and Pinnacle Road are the two main routes through the region. Two peninsulas can be found here: the Heretic's Horn and the Madgod's Boot. The marshes of Shallow Grave and the Hill of Suicides are also important landmarks.[2]

The villages of Deepwallow and Fellmoor offer relative safety from the monsters that roam the swamps. The ruins of Vitharn are a place of ill repute, once populated by souls cursed by Sheogorath. The Halls of Pinnacle Rock contain the Wellspring of the Mazken. The lawbreakers of the region are imprisoned in the root tunnels of Corpserot Passage. Knifepoint Hollow and Xedilian are also located here.[2] The Chateau of the Ravenous Rodent was Sheogorath's "family estate" and is located in the darkest part of Dementia.[3][4]

The University of Gwylim owns a collection of items from Dementia. The Antiquarian Circle, using these items, were able to deduce that the bail on Saint and the Seducer necklace was from Dementia, specifically Vitharn.[5]
