Lore Trivia!

Post by mptrj »

Obey these or you will be in trouble!

Since every other thread has trivia, why not LORE!?! I'm surprised no one's thought of this yet

Same rules as Oblivion Trivia, if you don't know them, and are too lazy to make 3 clicks, they are as follows:
Ace wrote:1) The questioner decides who goes next.
2) If you would like to skip a turn, say that you don't want to go. Alternatively, the answerer can specifically choose who goes next, but it can't be the last questioner.
3) ALWAYS spam! OK, don't spam, Josjie will have to ban you then.
4) If a question goes unanswered for X days, please put up another one.
6) There is no number 5.
I'll start with a solvable one:

The 8th of the 10th is its holiday
It keeps both the oath and the curse
'Twas once something else, until it was consumed by the God of Hunger

Its dominion shares a name with the remains of flames
And a spine runs down its back

Its mallet has given names to a realm of mortals
Its mallet once belonged to the folk of the east, who walk there no longer

It is the leader of folk both green and blue
There is no weakness among its followers

I'm thinking it's Malacath, since he was created when Boethia ate Trinimac, and he's the patron Daedric Prince of the Orcs, and the Dunmer believe they test him he tests them. His "mallet" is Volendrung, which once belonged to the Dwemer, or the "folk of the east, who walk there no longer". His plane is Ashpit, ash being the name for the remains of a fire.

I'll get a riddle soonish!

A short one, and hopefully an easy one.

Who comes from the place where there's always better government?

(If English isn't your native tongue, I very much apologise, and will have an alternate riddle, if you'd like!)

Once we were one, now we are two. Despised, yet loved, we have many enemies... but none who would dare touch us.

Probably an easy one.

Rough guess, but I'm drawn towards the Aedra and/or the Daedra.

The God Lorkhan?
Reviled by the Aldmer, he was viewed as a hero to man. Some legends claim that, upon His death, his body became the two moons of Nirn: Masser and Secunda.

Lorkhan's a good guess, but I'm thinking Anu and Padomay. They were both part of the void at one point, Padomay is despised and Anu is loved.

Guess it's harder than I thought. The second bit about being loved and despised applies to BOTH part equally.

Wow, that's heavy for a man that doesn't get a formula sheet.

Let's go with ... A is Anu and P is Padomay, and they created Mundus and Oblivion?

Blood of Anu + Blood of Padomay = Mundus, Aetherius and Oblivion.
