Is the answer Hollyfrost Farms itself?


You're thinking along the right line here, but the only part that Mefris got right was the line about the two brothers. You will need to work out the other clues as well...

You've still only answered this one line correctly...

Saadia? She is from nobility and supposedly works with the Thalmor.

A rather off-topic suggestion: back when everyone was all over Oblivion, we used to have a nice little thread called Location Trivia, where people would post screenshots of the remote corners of the game world for the others to guess where the screenshot had been taken. It used to be quite fun. :)
Perhaps we could start up something similar in the Skyrim section. :?:

This sounds pretty fun, but a lot of people wouldn't be able to take screenshots since they (we, I mean... I...) are on console.

Bear in mind that this is not a screenshot contest; the main goal is to guess a location based on an image - so this means that all users can participate in such a thread. :)
I think that it would add interest to guessing if someone were to post a photo of their console screen, what with the quality and colours differing from what people are used to when they see screenshots. :wink:

Somehow, I can't help but think of Lathenil of Sunhold, but this can't be right, since he only appears as an author of books, not as an actual NPC. Other than that, I suppose it could be Runil, but that's stretching it a bit.

It's stretching it a bit too much I'm afraid.

A clue: To answer this question you will need 8 individuals and 2 clans.

You are welcome to post in any thread you want to! That's what the forums are about. :wink:

And random thought on the riddle: if we are talking about clans and the first line states that we may know the subject of the riddle by its lessers, this could imply that the things named in the riddle are remotely related to these clans or are their minor members - like the dogs Tiber and Ysgramor are only relatively members of Clan Cruel-Sea.

You're right in that this part of the clue has something to do with the Nightingales, but you are wrong as to who it leads you to.

Hmm... the only thing I would point out is that the first sentence refers to everything that follows...

You're welcome to. You'll find the riddle halfway down the page. Have a read of the other guesses...

First off, hi edgukator, I haven't seen you around since the Oblivion trivia days.



Is it Citizens of Windhelm in general?


Owner of a cornucopia -- Clan Cruel Sea, Torsten, or Belyn Hlaalu.

Two brothers named, one for a king, one for a hero – Tiber, Ysgramor, already confirmed.

Once famous, three times struck, and twice a clan of three – I'm not sure if there are many answers in this one line. The three times struck line seems to refer to Calixto Corrium for his pastime (SPOILERS: The Shatter-Shield girl, Susanna and the Altmer horse woman). Once famous could refer to the once renowned soldier Galmar Stone-Fist or the beggar who used to be a soldier. Twice a clan of three? There are two clans in Windhelm, both have three family members.

One once a friend of songbirds, one the saddest wind - Songbirds? Possibly the Dunmer bard for studying at the College. The second part is most definitely Captain Lonely-Gale.

And a refugee from nobility - one who crossed Summerset - Probably Aventus and Niranye, alternatively the Priest/ess couple that worships Talos.

Right answer, but not all of the correct specifics.

Cornucopia - Nurelion -
Spoiler:
the white phial will become a potion that automatically refills itself - a cornucopia


Two Brothers - you got this, which is why I thought this would have been solved much earlier.

Once famous / Three times struck - Actually, these are probably more obvious than you thought. Galmer Stonefist would have been a good candidate, but I was looking for Angrenor Once-Honoured. Likewise, Calixto was great reasoning, but I was looking for Ysarald Thrice-Pierced

Twice a clan of three - you got this. Clan Shatter Shield and Clan Cruel Sea

Once a friend of songbirds - This was Niranye, who was a member of the Nightingales
Spoiler:
and can become one again


The Saddest Wind - You got this - Captain Lonely Gail

And a refugee from nobility - one who crossed Summerset - actually, this was a pretty hard one to get. This is a reference to Malborn
Spoiler:
who will help you in the Diplomatic Immunity quest, and then comes to Windhelm to lay low from the Thalmor - hence a refugee from nobility (the embassy) and one who crossed Summerset (betrayed the Thalmor)
