    Now for my riddle!

     

    I am maker of ancient, unbreakable Laws,

    master of prosiac, and often cruel Jaws.

    I am the son of a mighty, powerful Dragon,

    So I hopped on the great God bandwagon.

    Are you Martin Septim? He made the ancient Covenant work again, by doing so closed shut the cruel Jaws of Oblivion, he was Dragonborn son of a Dragonborn, and turned into an avatar of Akatosh.

    Is it something ESO related?

    You are wrong once again, Paws. Sorry! As for the answer being ESO related... Define 'related'. :D

    That is my guess, something ESO related as in something you will only know if you have played ESO.

    OK, normally I'd say that's waaaaay too vague to be a proper answer, and it is really, but I'll let it slide just this once.

     

    Doesn't mean you're right, though! :D

    Last two answers were ESO related and I know jack nothing of ESO. Also, I threw my guest away on purpose because my two guesses were already guessed, so I had and still have no clue what it is.

    Are you Reman? He was supposedly born of Alessia and it doesn't get more mighty and powerful dragon than her, plus he started the ritual of lighting the Dragonfires. Later he became a hero-god in sort of a Fisher King way.

    Martin Septim? Son (although illegitimate) of an emperor, the symbol of said empire is the Dragon. He 'hopped on' to the bloodline of Emperors, in that it was a surprise to him, and thats a pretty golden lineage if you ask me... Thats all I got. This is tough!

    Not as gutted as me! I'm surrounded every day by the undisputed best accent in the world, and yet I stick out like a sore thumb with my 'no's and 'the's. Damn my parents being from somewhere else than Britain's biggest and best county.

    You are incorrect, good sir! Note that, as of this writing, about 14 hours remain. Will I emerge victorious? Or will someone again dethrone me?

    Whoa whoa whoa, lets not jump to any accusations. Being northern is just about where you're from, its where you belong. And the cold wind, sexy accents and big bearded blokes is where I belong... wait...

     

    Ok Ten, my turn again. Are you Peryrite? The whole dragon thing is basically the only foundation I have, but I guess disease and pestilence are kinda unbreakable laws in that they aren't really governed by any.

    Zon, I think we're going to have to get metaphoric.It might not mean a literal dragon. If we think of our cousins, the Welsh, they have this Uther Pendragon thing going where Arthur is like the son of a dragon. Even though he ain't, it's like Richard the Lionheart. Associated with. But I can't think of anyone who isn't a dragonborn having that title.

    I've gone through my memory crypt and can't think of anything else except...

    I am maker of ancient, unbreakable Laws,

    master of prosiac, and often cruel Jaws.

    I am the son of a mighty, powerful Dragon,

    So I hopped on the great God bandwagon.

    He's capitalised these words, which could mean Alduin if that hasn't already been said. But it's the "prosaic" bit that's throwing me which is why I keep throwing ascended mortals at him.

    If I understand how this works correctly then here is you're new profile pic:

    Now as for the riddle... hmm...

    I am obsessed with what lies within,

    for sometimes I can hear them talking,

    they call to me from the other side,

    it is only the flesh that prevents me from passing.

    I guess that will do, now if someone hasn't guessed it within the next 10ish minutes then I'll be going to sleep and you'll have to wait until I wake up :P

    I'm not even mad, that profile pic is amazing. As for my guess... A Necromancer with Lich aspirations?
