I also noticed it
I approve.
Also, if I remember correctly, Peryite treated his cultists like shit, so I liked him for that.
Interesting theory into Peryites motives/actions:

Don't Peryite's and Jyggalag's spheres seem to overlap? In Oblivion at least, Peryite is obsessed with order, which you'd associate more with Jyggalag. Maybe that's why Skyrim has him moving more towards pestilence? --67.166.168.186 22:54, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

I've recognized the same issue and I think I can explain. Peryite was around in TES since the beginning, whereas Jyggalag was literally added AFTER Oblivion, with the expansion of Oblivion; The Shivering Isles. In order to make a story for why Sheogorath was losing his realm, there had to be some sort of conflict. Since he is more or less hated by all other Daedra, for his madness, it would not make sense for them to want to control his realm. Therefore, to balance his sphere of madness, the sphere of "order" was invented. In literature this is known as a "Foil"; two things that are connected but are exactly different. Because Jyggalag was made AFTER Peryite, the sphere of "order" was already taken, by Peryite. Being so, the creators clearly made two distinct "spheres of order"... Order to the extreme, even more so than Totalitarianism... Order to the point of absolute control, death, and chaos. Order to the point that the order itself is illegal and must be destroyed because it does not meet the order that the order suggests it needs to meet. Yes. It was meant to be that absolutely confusing, because that was Sheogorath. It was told that Jyggalag WAS Sheogorath and the other Daedra cursed him into madness, allowing him to fight back for his sanity once every era, thus the story of The Shivering Isles. As far as Peryite, his idea of "order" is more so a "comicbook villain's" of: "I'm going to destroy the world because I don't like it and I think it should be made this way instead!"... This sounds a lot like Mehrunes Dagon, yes. But the difference is that Mehrunes Dagon believes that everything is to be destroyed because the act of creation is merely existing so that destruction can happen, explaining his sphere of destruction. Peryite does not care if things exist, he just wants them to be controlled by his meaning of life. The way he sees it is similar to this: "There are people in the world. The world is over populated. People need to die. Therefore, it is my job to kill them. Health keeps people alive. People need to die. Therefore health is a problem. Illness is not healthy. Illness makes death. The world is overpopulated. Therefore, the world needs illness." which plays into his second, possibly greater sphere, of pestilence. Hope this helps. 9:21 PM 26 Dec, 2011 (CST).
He is also known as the "Taskmaster" his form of order is not the clean cold order of Jyggalag, but of natural order, more buerocratic really. Think about what disease is, disease is treuyl a lifeform . . . a lifeform of the lowest order. He is the taskmaster, he controls beings and creatures of the lowest type to achieve his goals. But it is just business to him. confusing but inreresting.
