Repost for a new page

Well since Beta passed I think I'll try and have a go:

While thrice you may find me,
My place of obscure honour is at the feet of the divine Warrior,
Whose shrine is near the humble home of the divine Winds' faithful Blade.

Whilst I may be the protector of great warriors,
You will find me near no living being,
For I allude to another time, another place.
A place of different warriors, different wars,
to that of these Mountains,
that tower over the Ends' Return,
and the Divided.

I assume that Blade refers to Bolar, so I'm going to guess Bolar's Oathblade.

Sorry, daedricprincess, your blind guess isn't exactly close though MetaCthulhu (thank you for the repost ) is quite close. However the item the riddle is about isn't a blade.

I guess I should provide another hint: The item is in the Rift. "the Divided" = the Rift.

I should probably also mention that the third and fourth lines of the second paragraph of the riddle is basically saying that item's design is inspired rather heavily from something in the real world. Perhaps don't pay too much attention to those two lines unless you've found the location of the item.

So to sum up your guesses and hints: The riddle is about a non-magickal item (that has an obvious real world inspiration...well for me at least) that's by a Shrine of Talos which is in the Rift and near the home of an NPC who is somehow related to a blade or has "Blade" in their name.

I hope the item I picked isn't too obscure or my riddle too...weird?

[ProphetDragon]

The Horn of Talos?

[MetaCthulhu]

It's the rare closed-face Imperial Helmet isn't it?

[dremorababe]

That has to be it^

[DaemonLion]

It's the rare closed-face Imperial Helmet isn't it?

Yup, congrats MetaCthulhu, the riddle is about the closed-face Imperial Helmet. I'm rather disappointed it's not used by any NPC's but oh well.

While thrice you may find me, (apparently you can find three of the helmets in Skyrim)
My place of obscure honour is at the feet of the divine Warrior, (UESP says that the location I chose was the most "obscure" and "divine Warrior" = Talos)
Whose shrine is near the humble home of the divine Winds' faithful Blade. ("humble home" = Froki's Shack, "divine Wind" = Kyne (Kynareth), Blade = "Froki Whetted-Blade" (Related Quests: Kyne's Sacred Trials))

Whilst I may be the protector of great warriors, (It's a helmet so it protects warriors)
You will find me near no living being, (another location of the helmet is outside Meridia's Temple next to a corpse, also I don't think there's any NPC's who wear the helmet)
For I allude to another time, another place. ("another time" = Classical Antiquity, "another place" = Earth)
A place of different warriors, different wars, ("different warriors" = Ancient Greek hoplites, "different wars"...well Ancient Greece had quite a few wars)
to that of these Mountains, (location of the helmet is in the mountains)
that tower over the Ends' Return, (End's Return = Helgen)
and the Divided. (the Divided = the Rift plus it alludes to the Civil War)

[MetaCthulhu]

Sweet!


Not sickness, not cold, not toxin, not wind, nor instant by either prince.

Just fire and sun, sword and board, shock and shout, hammer and mace, or hand and fist.

[ProphetDragon]

Is anyone going to post another riddle yet?

[Aarah]

Is anyone going to post another riddle yet?

Meta posted one above.
It's been a month though, so maybe a clue?

[MetaCthulhu]

I whipped this one up in a hurry and completely forgot about it

But yeah, if you got a riddle go ahead; I need to think up some hints anyway.

[ProphetDragon]

Auriel's Bow?

Whatever it is it's connected to Dawnguard.

[Aarah]

Anyone got a riddle they want to post?

Meta can post the answer to his one in the future, if he wishes to.

[BetaB17]

I guess I will, if nobody minds

Bring to me the blood of ancients,
I will teach you damnation

Bring to me the shaft of the moon,
I will teach you true ruin

Bring to me the power of a God
I will teach you of destiny

Bring to me the light of salvation...
and I will bring to you a Darkness most dark


What am I?

[SarthesArai]

Auri-Els Bow?

Nope

[Sarin]

Sun.

[BetaB17]

Sorry on delay
