What am I?
Hmm... Over a month since you gave it with no answer, maybe a hint would be good at this point..?

Hint:

The answer is two words; the first part of the riddle is for the first word and the second part is for the second word. (The "What am I?" is meaningless.)
Again, it has absolutely nothing to with the Civil War or any faction.

I think we all give up! Either we need a massive clue, or just put us out of our misery with the oh-so-elusive answer.

Is it a place? I was thinking 'never mourned' might be the word 'forgotten' or 'unloved' but maybe i'm being too literal?

Is it the book Lost Legends?

-> Lost
and red or blue
Two of the legends described in the book are those of Red Eagle (red) and the Pale Lady (frost -> blue), but I'm unsure about this part.

Yeah I agree. I really can't think of anything at all.

Here's a big hint for you:

1st word: "Never mourned" = Never dies, so is ________
2nd word: Certain people are said to have blue _____, however in reality their ______ is red just like everyone else's.

For the future, when it looks like your riddle will take three months to solve after numerous hints, don't drag it out for three months please.

That was a tricky one, Chadonraz! (but also simple too, once the answer was known)
I'm curious: what has purple and yellow blood that you mentioned?

Here's a new riddle:

In a place of stolen essence,
A part of it you'll find,
Guarded by the darkened dead,
An odd one of it's kind,

If you're tired and weary,
Wherever you may be,
Let it help you on your journey,
With fire a sight to see.

Garr! I'm guessing the riddle was too easy! Either that or AKB is just a great riddle solver. Probably both.

Yep, your go! :)

I steal this turn now.

Where am I?

Left the flagon to go right for the graveyard.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Correct. It's a mnemonic device I use when heading to or from the Ragged Flagon for a Thieves' Guild job: when you enter the Cistern, which way to go next? Left the Flagon; Right to the Graveyard

Compared to others of my kind,
I'm rather small.
Go west of Morthal
To find where I fall,
Before into the brine
I crawl.
I am the ___ ___.

I liked your riddle Snail! I was thinking it was some kind of mudcrab or sea creature for a while!


Not far from the greatest views,
You'll find where I am found,
You may think I'm like others,
That often lie around,

But I am very special,
Born from one like you,
To create a nice illusion,
So no one would pursue,

But I cannot help my father,
As effective as I've been,
No cerulean walker of winged beast,
By him was found nor seen.

Clue: It is an item that can only be found in one particular place.
