Nope, unfortunately. :(

We are indeed, though not purely vanilla. :wink: (No mods).

I apologize for taking a further stab without addressing every image, but I'm still having trouble piecing everything together.

Spoiler:
I am - Ashlands - Menace; In the context of Skyrim's expansions, this narrows the options significantly - Morrowind precluded.
Tracking - Silt Strider - [Paths?]; though I am having trouble making an association, I'm compelled to take into consideration the location of the Silt Strider on Solstheim (Dusty) into the geography pertaining to the riddle's solution.
Quickly Stifled and Flat; though I may only fancy a guess, the subject in question is both silent, and flush with the ground.
[Friends?] - Remember - Anger - [Not sure] - about; I am very hazy here, but I feel semi-justified in associating this combination of words with betrayal.

Though my perception of this rebus is horribly incomplete; putting together what I do know compels me to move my guess in the direction of Ash Spawn, which ambush silently from flat piles of ash, and Ildari Sarothril, Neloth's former apprentice, now undead and seeking revenge for her betrayal (being in that she's responsible for the Ash Spawn). What image comes next? I don't know, but I'm re-directing my thinking (perhaps misguided) toward the notion of vindication and revenge. Thanks for your patience thus far. I'd said before, I'm not too good with rebus. :(

Incorrect, and wandering off again I'm afraid.

The main thing is that the words are arranged the way they are. :wink:

Holy crap...

Spoiler:

I'm re-reading St. Jiub's opus, and I think that I'm seeing it all clearly. Each image is a direct citation from a verse in Jiub's Opus. The final image would be in the nature of either "Beaten, clawed bitten" "Knee deep in corpses" or "looking to the heavens before all goes black..." I should have seen this from the very beginning, as the precise Ashland image location that you posted is notorious for Cliff Racers . The Skyrim expansion in question is Dawnguard.


EDIT: Or "About to begin my ascension to sainthood"

You are so very, very close! Jiub's Opus indeed holds the key to cracking the riddle! All you need is one last effort! Image
Which picture (or word) is the very-very last? :)

You're so imaginative, Norroen :oops: For the record, I had always had an infatuation regarding mystery of Jiub, in Morrowind.

In the skein of Skyrim; I am relatively unknown,
Among great heroes and villains; I hold my own,
Both powerful and mysterious; eerie is my tone,
Though I shall follow you; my heart is all but stone...

An enigma by nature; a pariah of sorts,
My magic compares to the highest of wizard courts...
I don't abide by pretentious vampiric beauty or allurement;
Through withering spells and gnashing teeth, I thrive by my victim's dismemberment!

Who am I?

Yes, it's her!

It may have been fairly easy, but I've really wanted to showcase her :D The fact that she's not super pretty, cold and cryptic with words, terrifying in nature, mysterious, and morbidly fearless leaves me enamored; as she's by far my favorite follower and NPC character in the game (I wanted to marry her in game :( ). When I met Serana in Dawnguard, I rolled my eyes and thought to myself "you have nothing on Eola."

Anyways, you're up once more, Norroen!

Thanks guys!Image
If you like my rebuses, I'll be making them for this thread from time to time. But today, I have a different riddle planned. :wink:

New Riddle:

I... started alphabetically—read up ague, and learnt that I was sickening for it, and that the acute stage would commence in about another fortnight. Bright’s disease, I was relieved to find, I had only in a modified form, and, so far as that was concerned, I might live for years. Cholera I had, with severe complications; and diphtheria I seemed to have been born with. I plodded conscientiously through the twenty-six letters, and the only malady I could conclude I had not got was housemaid’s knee.

(Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat)

Put money in thy purse... I say put money in thy purse.

(William Shakespeare, Othello)

And she offed with her cap o' rushes, and there she was in her beautiful clothes, and everyone saw she was a lady.

(Cap O' Rushes, a folk tale)

What is located opposite what is referred to by these quotes?

Gweden Farm? In which case the answer would be Fort Strand or Smoke Hole Cave?

What a lovely progression from your first to last quote :)

Spoiler:
Three men in a boat addresses one who laments to have every ailment under the sun. Though, housemaid's knee is a common reference to an inflammation of the bursae; in this context, it's referencing a pain brought on by hard work!

"Put money in thy purse, I say, put money in thy purse!" If you want something, you must put money in your purse! A common response to someone who whines about not being able to achieve their goals, but refuses to commit any energy therein.

The final quote illustrates one who throws of their adornment of rags, only to boast a fine new, extravagant garb. Though I was previously unfamiliar with Cap 'O Rushes, I believe that this quote, more specifically, addresses reaching one's goals through honesty and sincerity (juxtaposed with the rest of the folktale).

The antithesis of this progression? I may be wrong, but it seems as though the thieves guild would fit quite nicely in such a context. Of course, I reserve the right to be completely off base on everything.

@Aarah: you have deciphered two of the three parts of the riddle. Now what's left is cracking the riddle itself. :wink:
