    Are you the Windshear?

    YESSSSS! Release me of my burden and giveth me the best profile pic you can find.

    Sithis brings you to me, but not before. (as you said, only shows up during or after Hail Sithis! plus the DB being involved with Sithis...)

    All tremble and stagger before me when I am moving. (Windshear's stagger and seemingly unstoppable tremble effect on any enemy when attacking)

    Held by a Kat, a dragon flies beside me. (on the Katariah, the dragon flag of the Empire is flowing in the wind next to where it is found)

    What am I? (Windshear, not a who!)

    Well done.

    Thank you and as soon as I posted what I did, it came to me. Also, I will have my riddle posted tomorrow.

    Your pic

    I can dig on this. Looking forward to your riddle.

    Tell you what... while we wait in anticipation for The Last Blade's riddle, here's something for you all to ponder on. No repercussions on this for guessing wrong. It's just a venison break if you will. 

    As soon as Last Blade is back he has the discussion.

     

    There's a daedra who most won't kill

    Go north of Balmora to strike the deal

    Who am I

    Well done.

    Thats probably the best riddle I've heard yet, so obvious in hindsight but I was gonna start going through the Daedra so I wasn't even close.

    A little snack before the main meal? I like it. Hmmm, maybe the Daedra in this riddle represents what they portray or represent. So it could be like kicking an addiction or overcoming pride or lust or all of those sins. I feel like I'm putting way to much thought into this already, but are you pride? I feel like going on a long journey is something that would kill it, especially if a deal is involved.

    Nope!!! Wrong......

    Well the break is over, thank you Sotek, and here is my riddle:

     

    What we are is only known to our people, but only those in sands

    Who we are is known and yet unknown, and yet we are like the rest

    Where we live is a place is beyond the mortals, and only know to the greats

    When you pray we answer and help, or we come and teach you

    Why we aren't that known is our people's fault, for they are afraid of foreigners

    Who are we?

    The Redguard Gods?

    Edit: Really I don't even care if I'm wrong, I just want to be rid of this profile pic, anything would be better than this.

    Bloody hell Golden, give the rest of us a chance! Good guess though, I wouldn't've got it. I wonder what the next riddle will be...

    Oh and Sotek, what was the answer?

    Ok, brace for the madness returned :D I'll be grateful to get out of this avatar, I find it unsettling as it looks like a caricature of a guy I used to work with. I forget his name, but his claim to fame was that he appeared on "the Jeremy Kyle" as he put it. A real class act.

    It probably has something to do with werewolves...

    Hircine?

    Hircine forgive me for this one.......... No, sorry.

    'There's a daedra who you most won't kill

    'Go north of Balmora to strike the deal

    'Who am I?'

     

    If this has something to do with Morrowind I'm clueless as I've only played Skyrim. However I do know that Balmora could be a clue to the Thieves Guild questline item, Balmora Blue. And which Daedra is north of that item?

    Meridia; that is my answer

    Nope, not Meridia. sorry.....

    Barbas. Or should I say Creeper?
    • 367 posts
    July 21, 2017 4:57 PM EDT

    Hahaha!!!  Well done, right on both counts!!! It's creeper......

    Creeper, (Barbas states he was in Caldera selling to an Orc), is the Dremora who has 5,000 gold. You can sell items to him for 100% their value. he resides in Caldera, a town North of Balmora.

    First a little back story, my sister recently purchased a game called Dream Daddy (google it if you don't know) and that also means I have access to the character creator, as such here's your knew avatar :D

    As for my riddle:

    Only in passing am I mentioned,

    By a man who inherited himself,

    In a land split into two parts I live in the third,

    I suppose I'm quite tasty.

    Hmm. The tasty bit doesn't really make sense to me, but the rest screams Jyggalag.

    In terms of game content you're in the right ballpark, but no it isn't Jyggalag.

    Bah! And here I was with the perfect topic for a riddle... Still, better Heimskr than the nightmare Henson gave me.
