Off-track. :(

One of the first friends you might make,
One left in the lurch, but in a different way,
A sly concealer of spirits,
A defiler with an illustrious name,
A potential throat to slit,
A trader of rumours with a Khajiit-trained successor,
A liberator of beehives,
A hard worker filling orders for the high and mighty,
A hand abandoned by fingers,
A keeper of one of the three keys to what once was,
A fair employer of a scorned god's son,
A most unfortunate thrall,
We shall all help you prosper,
If your pack is large enough.
Who are we?

In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity.
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity.
If it's alright, then you're all wrong.
But why bounce around to the same damn song?
You'd rather run when you can't crawl...

'A trader of rumours with a Khajiit trained successor', I would assume, is Hulda, (Ysolda being the mentioned successor)
-Which leads me to think of Whiterun...but what about it?

So many guesses, perhaps a clue?
It's not like my poaching is hurting anyone, the other hunters can hardly track every deer, can they?

I'm starting to think Whiterun too. And a clue would be nice.

You've given provided a pretty nice clue yourselves. :wink:
It is a certain group of NPCs - that much has been established. Now a hint from me: the fact that we are talking about a group of NPCs does not necessarily mean that they all hang out in one spot.
Also, the line in question does indeed describe Hulda, as MadAndyD correctly pointed out.

No correct answers. :(
All the people in the riddle are quest-givers; you should focus on what kind of quest they give. And then the answer will become evident. :wink:

Most excellent riddle! Loved the obscurity of it. I don't usually do the wood chopping quests I figure they can chop their damn wood. Slainte'!

I could post the reasoning behind each line, but I suppose that now it's become evident anyway. :wink:

A very quick, easy riddle:

I might nip at you,
But if you are brave enough,
You'll find some use for me:
Play a dentist to please a lady,
Or prove your worth as man.
Name me.
