Cool! My first solved riddle. :D

Here's mine:

I light your path,
I give you wealth,
protect you from your foes.

I let you reach for the stars
or the bottom of the sea.

You may seek out your foes,
as they lie helpless.
But beware, for the price may be your life.

The answer to your riddle is Alteration (the magic school).
Spoiler:
I light your path, Mage/candlelight
I give you wealth, Transmutate
protect you from your foes. Oak/Stone/Ebonyflesh

I let you reach for the stars Skill menu(?)/Telekinesis(?)
or the bottom of the sea. Waterbreathing

You may seek out your foes, Detect Life/Dead
as they lie helpless. Paralyze
But beware, for the price may be your life.

Mefris is probably right, but I'm going to guess Alchemy because it can do a lot of the same things, and because the line "But beware, for the price may be your life" could refer to eating the wrong ingredient when low on health could kill you.

You're right! :sweetroll:

It's Telekinesis, although it would probably go with the stars in the skill menu as well.
Snail's Pace wrote:...and because the line "But beware, for the price may be your life" could refer to eating the wrong ingredient when low on health could kill you.
That line actually refers to the Equilibrium spell. Every line in the riddle is meant to represent one Alteration spell effect from the base game.

Mefris, your turn!

Once a great House,
Now I provide shelter for the savage.
If the noble has me listed,
then you'll surely trade my soul for gold.
But the real treasure that I hold,
Is close what is trampled by the wolves.

Yep! That was quick. Your turn!

Once a great House, (house Redoran)

Now I provide shelter for the savage. (Bandits live there)

If the noble has me listed, (bounty)

then you'll surely trade my soul for gold. (Bounty to kill inhabitants)

But the real treasure that I hold, (Treasure map)

Is close what is trampled by the wolves. (Treasure map leads to Palagius farm, which is where the Companion, the wolves, fight the giant)

I am not the beginning, nor am I the end.
My end comes through allegiance,
Through the strong or the weak,
But only few can truly hunt me.
I'm the catalyst of our undoing.

Well, my go-to-guess for every riddle is the thalmor. So I'll say thalmor. Maybe dragons too.

No to Thalmor. Dragons is on the right track. No to Angarvunde.

Sinding
Long has the Stormcrown languished, with no worthy brow to sit upon.
By our breath we bestow it now to you in the name of Kyne, in the name of Shor, and in the name of Atmora of old.
You are Ysmir now, the Dragon of the North, hearken to it.
