Lore Trivia!

[Minor Edits]

Lol. Okay, maybe the hint isn't as obvious as I thought.

For the sake of spirit and of sport,
Two pieces of rocky flesh cavort.
In this place the young are taught,
Then traded Elsweyr, and enemies fought.

[mouser]

are the "two pieces of rocky flesh" masser and secunda? probably not, though. cant think of a connection between the moons and the hall of virtues of war

[Minor Edits]

It's not the hall; someone guessed that already.

The two pieces of rocky flesh are Masser and Secunda!

[mouser]

aha! it's the temple of the two moons dance

[Minor Edits]

Correct!

[mouser]

i think i'll pass. anyone want a go?

[Velothi]

A 'dead' House of a 'dead' man, fighting against Ash and Dust, Modernization and Empire - yet From Ash to Ash is still Dust to Dust.

Who am I?

A 'dead' House of a 'dead' man, fighting against Ash and Dust, Modernization and Empire - yet From Ash to Ash is still Dust to Dust.

Who am I?

I'm going to say that it's in Morrowind.
Houses could be the great houses.
There is only two former great houses and I'm pretty sure the leader of House Hlaalu is still alive.
So i'm going to say Dagoth Ur. I know terrible choice, but that's all I can think of.

[Br3admax]

There are plenty of Former Great Houses, and I think you mean House Dagoth.

[Velothi]

Nope.

[Lorenut]

There are plenty of Former Great Houses, and I think you mean House Dagoth.

Br3admax I was basing my wording of former great houses on this http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Great_Houses. Sorry if I caused confusion. Velothi asked "who am I" that's why I said Dagoth ur.

[Velothi]

the answer is a House, and that's the only hint that I can really provide

[Zero_The_Dark]

House Indoril?

[Velothi]

Yep

[Casper]

In the interest of reviving the thread, is it OK if I sidle in here and post an easy one? ._.

Salts and bones, leaves of green,
Many thus in death convene-
Blood and fire and something sweet,
Our mighty Northern lord to meet.

[Minor Edits]

Sovngarde?

[Casper]

Nope!

[c3r3a1k1l13r]

Hircine Hunting Grounds ?

[Casper]

Not Hircine's hunting grounds either

[all_freed]

Ysgramor and the Eye of Magnus? Saarthal?

Salt and bones are found in tombs. Leaves of green refer to the leaf-like designs on the Eye of Magnus.
Lots of dead people are in Ysgramor's tomb and Saarthal.
Lots of blood and fire but also the taste of sweet blood when you're turned into a werewolf.
Ysgramor is from Atmora which is to the north.

[Casper]

That is a very well reasoned answer but it is not it.

Err well, when I said it was easy I meant in the sense that it is very specific. Everything is quite literal

[Gandalf]

Is it anything to do with Castle Volkihar?

[Casper]

Nope, nothing to do with Castle Volkihar.

Now that I look at it, I think I may have put my foot in my mouth with that last line. I had the distinct impression, along with apparently several other people, that the "lord" in question was a Nord, but looking more thoroughly I can't find any primary sources that directly state his race.

In amends, I shall make the riddle easier!

Salts and bones, leaves of green,
Many thus in death convene-
Blood and fire and something sweet,
Our mighty fallen lord to meet.

[Zero_The_Dark]

Is it Miraak?

[Casper]

No, not Miraak!
Another hint: it has nothing to do with the game Skyrim.
