Oblivion Trivia!!!

[Aces Andre]

The ghosts in the chapel undercroft?

Nope, this person was seen very much alive in-game before his untimely death.

[Generalno1]

The guy in the DB quests,motiere'?who hired you to save him from debt?

[invictus84]

Wrapped in darkness.
Directions and assistance.
Did you see a glint of gold?
I die before the end.

Peaceful amongst the armed.
Never did I raise my fists.
Strong in faith but weak in body.
Heretics slew me.

Who am I?

Prior Maborel?

Everything except the lines, "Wrapped in darkness." and "Did you see a glint of gold?" seems like they could easily apply to him.

He's the only one that comes to mind right now.

Well done, you are correct.


He wears a black robe.
He tells you where Jauffre is and he will give you his horse.
He wears a golden ring.
He will die before the end of the main quest.

He carries no weapons although living amongst those that do (Jauffre and Piner).
He never fought back against his assailant.
He was a pious man and obviously no fighter.
He was slain by the enemies of his god.


He is a character I feel can often be overlooked, so I chose him for my riddle.

Once again, well done. Your go.

[invictus84]

Oh, I never paid any attention to his robes or ring.

I think I'll pass this one to someone better at making up riddles, again.

[Kestral]

Place-holder!

[Taters]

Can we put placeholders for myriads of vain, way-off-the-mark guesses, too? 'Cause if we can, sign me up.

[questionmarkw]

Pants.

[Kestral]

After I eat I'll post the riddle up.

[azuarc]

Place-holder!

/veto

Here's my substitute:


Violets are blue, roses are red,
Kestral's wants a turn, so guess who is dead?


The correct answer is more than one individual.

[Vum]

everyone else! D:

[azuarc]

Correct!

[PineconeKing]

it's vums turn, then?

[azuarc]

shrug, I'm thinking kestral wasn't serious about posting

[Vum]

Someone else can take it.

[Kestral]

shrug, I'm thinking kestral wasn't serious about posting

I am, I've just been getting carried away with other things. I'll sit and down and post this, I promise!

I've long been missed.
i've been sent into a near Eternal limbo.
replaced and Forgotten.
once Integral, then desposed.
only Succeeded in the Spirits;
though not without a Limit.
perhaps Forever I am to be cursed to this
Only the Time can tell

Have fun, I feel that it's light.

[Lethys]

First thing that comes to mind is the undead blades in Sancre Tor.

[Kage]

Sounds like it could be any number of things...Xedilian maybe, or Arkved...and neither of those match all the lines, either. Is it from vanilla Oblivion, or is it from some of the DLC?

Nothing new in the DLC, and it wasn't as prominent in the Vanilla game as it usually is. So, no and no.

No.

Indeed, it doesn't *seem* nearly as bad as your usual punishers. We'll see, though. Sometimes the simple ones are the hardest. I know what my knee-jerk reaction is, but I doubt that could possibly be right, even for Kestral-lite.

Clarification request: "desposed" -- is that disposed, deposed or despised? Or perhaps a combo pack?



edit:

Nothing new in the DLC, and it wasn't as prominent in the Vanilla game as it usually is. So, no and no.

You're being uncharacteristically revealing...

[Kestral]

Oh azuarc, if I clarified anything that would make it too easy!

[azuarc]

yes, but...a spelling mistake? (Or what certainly looks like one, anyhow...)

[Dlarsh]

My first quess would be Pelinal Whitestrake.
The riddle fits him quite well, but what really struck me was Kestral's response to the DLC/Vanilla question:

Nothing new in the DLC, and it wasn't as prominent in the Vanilla game as it usually is. So, no and no.

This suggests (to me anyway) that the soultion was mentioned in vanilla, but fairly obscure. It did, however, become more prominent with a DLC installment. Following this line of thinking, there was at least one book (near the very bottom) that mentioned him in vanilla, but he wasn't exactly prominent then. With KotN you simply learn more about him.

[Kestral]

Wrong, Dlarsh.

[Boethiah's Hunger]

Riddle re-post, from Kestral:

Spoiler:

I've long been missed.
i've been sent into a near Eternal limbo.
replaced and Forgotten.
once Integral, then desposed.
only Succeeded in the Spirits;
though not without a Limit.
perhaps Forever I am to be cursed to this

You can't tell me that no one has been paying attention to the caps, now can you?

The capital letters, in order, are IEFISSLFOT. Unscrambling, perhaps?

Desposed could be a mix of "despised" and "disposed" as well, just throwing that out there.
