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

  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

  Sheogorath!

  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. 

  Damn, just as we were about to get all metaphoric it got solved! That was good thinking though Paws, and now I know what clues to look for for your next one...

   

  Ok Gold, imma pay homage to Rogue's riddles and go with Ulfric. He's obsessed with whats in the borders of Skyrim, I guess he's got spies to hear the people and the Empire speak (or it could just be concerned citizens, he is a Jarl after all), they call to me from the other side could be Sovngarde or the taunting of the Imperials, and only the flesh could represent his duty to his people and the war. Yeah, this is a long shot, but I'm determined that some time soon its going to be a metaphor!

  You know, I respect that determination. Doesn't mean you're right though.

  Ah yes Wondergoat is quite majestic isn't he :P Honestly it was a toss up between that image and one of a glitched tree I saw in Oblivion once.

  I picked Paw's based on his love of the Dark Brotherhood, so if you want and you get it wrong I could always find you a Stormcloak one :P

  Ooh ooh! Is it the Old Orc? Only the flesh keeps him from passing as he hasn't found anyone who can beat him, he can hear the alling of his ancestors/Malacath to die an honourable death, and getting there is his obsession.

  Are you Jayred Ice-Veins?

  Like, "I'm obsessed with what lies within" - in this case, bones.

  "For sometimes I can hear them talking" - He talks about hearing the bones talk.

  "They call to me from the other side" - outside Passwall

  "It is only flesh that prevents me from passing" That dirty great flesh golem stands in his way.

  You have a mind like a maze, Golds. Don't worry, though, my revenge is really rather tame:

  :D Glad to hear that!

  Ok, so for my riddle... well I realise I'm pretty bad at actually posing riddles and enjoy trying to solve them more than making them. So if Zonnonn's willing, and there are no strong objections, I'd like to relinquish my turn to him as he hasn't had one yet and has been in it for ages now. It'll only be about 6 hours from now when he's likely to be active so it's not a huge wait.

  Balls. Now I need to think of a riddle. Ughmmm...

  I come from the isles numbered ten hundreds

  Once enemies, now friends with tigers

  Attacked yearly by icey invaders

  Though simple, our courage never wavers.

  What am I?
