Ding-Ding-Ding! We have a winner! (How'd you know?)

I'll edit in my 'xplanation later. Your turn Rezalon!

'xplanation:
Failed purging,
Failed rites.
The note in the cave reads: "I must bear the burden of purging the Lich that was once a friend.", and "With pure spirit and rites of cleansing,..". Neither works.
Two ex guild-members
one deluded coven.
Erandur and Vangaril were both expelled mage guild members, and another note in the cave reads: "...but my pointless expulsion from your misguided coven barred me from the appropriate training..."
Temporal body consumed from within
something closer than even a twin.
"...Lich Erandur will consume you, from within..." and, of course, they become hybrid souls
Who was I?
I debated putting "Who were I?" but I decided against it.

Post subject:  Re: Oblivion Trivia!!!
IDK why, but the story of the two mages having their souls combined just got stuck in my head when I first read about it, and upon reading your riddle, that just seemed like the most likely answer. Anyway, here's my first go at Quiz Master!


I am dark, dank, and gruesome
I paralyze people with fear, and weaken them

I have travelled from East to West
Finding new lands on my master's quest

They would now hate me
As I am now allied with their enemy

My master gives me away to travelling strangers
Including the unsung five, who helped him when his children were in danger

There hasn't been a guess, so if somebody wants a hint, just ask. I would give one now, but I think the riddle is a bit easy.

Is it Volendrung?

A winner is you!

EDIT: Forgot to add the meanings behind the riddle

I am dark, dank, and gruesome - The Hammer itself looks pretty evil and horrifying
I paralyze people with fear, and weaken them - Its enchantments in Oblivion

I have travelled from East to West - Morrowind to Hammerfell
Finding new lands on my master's quest - As the Dwarves travelled to Hammerfell, the built their many Strongholds on the way

They would now hate me
As I am now allied with their enemy - The Dwarves hated the Daedric Princes, and the Hammer is now Malacath's

My master gives me away to travelling strangers
Including the unsung five, who helped him when his children were in danger - The "unsung five" refer to the heroes of Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim, and their quests to get the Hammer all somehow involved helping Orcs, Ogres, or whatever else Malacath considered to be his children.

That which I seek is the plant of the world,
But my knowledge of it is already unfurled.
If you want to Explore,
bring it to me,
and be rewarded in gold and more!

Who am I?

Sinderion?

Obviously the answer is Obscure NPC #436...

Nah, it's Sinderion. Your turn. :P

I am in your body,
And under your feet,
But I'm not skin and bones,
And I'm not the street,

You won't find me naturally anywhere here,
But you'll find me beyond them and where they are near.

I want to say Waterwalking, but water can be found pretty much anywhere in Cyrodiil.

Post subject:  Re: Oblivion Trivia!!!
Nope, it's not waterwalking. You're right with 'here' being Cyrodiil though.

Really? :S Cool!

Amateur dabbler who knows of ancient powers,
she will never help you relive Cyrodiil's darkest hours.

Is it Tar-Meena?
Author:  MetaCthulhu [ Thu Sep 24, 2015 2:56 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Oblivion Trivia!!!
Close, but Tar-Meena isn't really an amateur.

Hint!:
The person in question is an author.

I was thinking about how she was part of the quest "Secrets of the Ayleids" and started to realize that it matched up with the "Amateur dabbler who knows of ancient powers" part. I noticed the hint about it being an author right after and that confirmed it for me.

I'm terrible at coming up with riddles, so I'll let someone else have a go.

My family dabble in the dark art
While I'm here, not high as a kite
But in a similar mood, due to losing something dear to my heart
Which leads me to a messy end, after an unfair fight
Author:  Lorenut [ Wed Sep 30, 2015 5:21 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Oblivion Trivia!!!
I don't know if the same person can answer two questions in a row, so I'm sorry if that's the case.

I think the answer is Mathieu Bellamont

"My family dabble in the dark art" That could mean the Dark Brotherhood because of the "dark art" part. They call themselves brother and sisters and therefore are "family".

"But in a similar mood, due to losing something dear to my heart" His mom was murdered and that could be what you mean by "dear to my heart"

"Which leads me to a messy end, after an unfair fight" He gets killed by you and Arquen down in the Night Mother's crypt. Two on one is unfair if you ask me

"While I'm here, not high as a kite" This is the only part that I couldn't really figure out.

I have another person in mind too, but it doesn't fit as much as he does.

I'm sorry, that's not it.

"High as a kite" has two meanings. "High" is a strong keyword.
Author:  Lorenut [ Thu Oct 01, 2015 2:27 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Oblivion Trivia!!!
My other guess is Lucien Lachance

"My family dabble in the dark art" The Dark Brotherhood again

"Which leads me to a messy end, after an unfair fight" He gets killed in a 3 on 1 fight and then is skinned pretty much.

"While I'm here, not high as a kite" It could be a reference to the mountains near Bruma since he gets killed near there.

"But in a similar mood, due to losing something dear to my heart" This is the only piece for him that I can't think of a good reason for.

Again, no sorry.

Their "family" is a single person
