Oblivion Trivia!!!

[IVTesIV]

Lol ive been gone for weeks and it hasent been found kestrel is evil

[Kestral]

Lets just hope there is a reference to the answer in Oblivion. Or else I'd have to ban Kestral for keeping this thread off-topic for a very long time...

D: Banned!! Oh woe is me!

And no, it is not Calaxes Septim. I give you credit though, PopTart.

[T PoPTartZz T]

This is ridiculous. I've tied "Tiber Septim" to every "usurper" I can find.

Before anyone jumps my case, though, I'd like to point out "I can find" which means I obviously haven't found the answer.

[A-BIack_Man]

can someone tell me the question?

[T PoPTartZz T]

Here's the original post, just because you asked so nicely.

(Insert Generic Maniacal Laughter)
Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Trials and Incantations, qwelling the disarrayed Anu
Balms given, Essences studied, he Ranks
Salvation, essense, none; nonsense: pelanu
Eternal memory, I called, no murderer
Papers written, forever, a life to stop
Telling of this life, Iconic maybe, this shall end, this, scene
long this, long enough to escape the tears of the Mother.

I shall say only the following:

• Through examination, two symbols shall be revealed. You must tie these in.
• If you are sharp enough (probably won't take much) it is not that conclusion. I will not point it out.
• I will NOT give a hint if someone asks for it.
• Use of the UESP Wiki will not help you, until you find what you need.
• Throughout, I have hinted, generally, to the only thing the answer is involved with, that is noteworthy, but it will not make sense until you connect it all.
• I WILL NOT GIVE A HINT IF SOMEONE ASKS FOR IT.

Lorgren Benirus?
Mathieu Bellamont?

[gamer005]

The man you pretend to kill for that db quest? Francois something I think.

[A-BIack_Man]

the narrator guy, i think its uriel septim IV

[mptrj]

Is it Sage Eraintine? He's the only link I could find between an usurper and Tiber Septim...

[Reaper67]

*slaps face* Guys, it's lore related. That means that it isn't necessarily found in the game, it just ties into it somehow.

@mptrj
At least someone is on the right track.

[Kestral]

Guys, I hate to say this.



But, a month of going at this riddle, and everything has been shot. Vague, obvious, ridiculous answer. But this, people, THIS is what I want.


All of you, saying, this is impossible, this is too hard, this is too anything, look at this.

What do I see? You see?

Sage Eraintine.

He declared Tiber Septim's heart to have stopped beating, and named Camoran Usurper from a nightmare.

THIS, is the answer.

Good day to you gents' and lady gents'.

[mptrj]

you can't be serious.

Jeez, how the heck am I supposed to follow THAT riddle??? I guess I'll get started

[Kestral]

:shock: you can't be serious.

No really, I'm serious.

[mptrj]

*Ahem* now that I finally solved the month old riddle, I realize Kestral had a pretty good formula going if the riddle remained unsolved for a month! I apologize if I got your hopes up, but this riddle is equally convoluted, and maybe even *horrified scream* MORE difficult than Kestral's!



they Conquered my emotions, forever.

two birds in two nests.
how eloquent, their voices
the 4 different songs they sing.

but the season was winter!
how is it that
any bird could sing when
the earth was so gray...
the red birds I saw that day, when I was five.

I am Torn as to which bird's voice was prettier.



Good Luck! (You're going to need it)

These are the ONLY "hints" I will give.
1) The "I"s capitalized are for grammatical purposes.
2) There are four keys I gave within the riddle. Put these together and you will most likely be able to find the answer.
3) The answer lies within the UESP wiki!
4) Don't take it too seriously. It's not impossible.

P.S. It also reads as a beautiful poem if I do say so myself!

[IVTesIV]

Wow its probobly lore like kestrels but im not good with riddles or lore either

[mptrj]

If I told you whether it was lore or in-game it would ruin all the fun!

[IVTesIV]

its lore isnt it .........

[mptrj]

Maybe, maybe not!

[IVTesIV]

im thinking something to do with a book because of the 4 diferent songs they sing is it the song of pelinal whitestrake just cause of the song part

[mptrj]

no

[IVTesIV]

I hope it book related not npc

[questionmarkw]

The first letter of all the second words ( in the main body of the poem) reads, "b4 tiber" so it has to do something with Tiber.

Also, the only other words capitalized are C T. Perhaps these are the initials of the person or book?

Those are perhaps two of the four clues.

More likely, it's something that happened or someone who lived before Tiber Septim was born or became famous.

[questionmarkw]

I have a feeling the numbers are a clue to something.

I tried finding a year (2E245) in Lore but I can't find anything of the sort.

This is definitely going on a stretch, but all the numbers in the poem (2245) and using T9 on a phone (for text messaging) is BAIL or ABIL. Maybe someone else can feed off of this.

[mptrj]

OK, you guys are actually close. The numbers have something to do with it, and "B4 Tiber" IS a hint.
