Though you might wanna change the background color to match the forums

Re-posting the complete clue for reference...

The rightful king dropped dead
With help from he who says
There's ten in your head
More than two decades ago 'twas
Now he will count his loss

Four children there were
One was carried of by the Underking
One died, one got married
And the youngest one became king

Personally, I can't find anything in Oblivion that meets these criteria. There are but scant references to any Underking (and none matching this), none of the "Counts" in Oblivion match these clues, and the children clue likewise seems to have no corresponding people involved. Perhaps it will become obvious when the answer is finally given (if this thread doesn't pass away first)...but I'm fairly bored at work, so have had plenty of time to look, and I still can't find anything on this. My hat's off to one who does...

Yea, i tried to get a color sample off of here, but it wouldnt let me copy it into paint >< Ima try again...

I wish mine was as cool as Cactus's >< How did you match the colors? Thats the closest i got...

Oh, and my guess is Uriel Semptim.

It's a .png image, which allows the use of transparent backgrounds, which mine has. Paint doesn't have that option, because it's cheap.

I can do something for you, if you wish.

Hmm, this might've been harder than I thought it was, but I figured since I'd come across it before someone else must surely have done the same

Oh, well, lets see now.

The rightful king dropped dead
With help from he who says
There's ten in your head
More than two decades ago 'twas
Now he will count his loss

Four children there were
One was carried of by the Underking
One died, one got married
And the youngest one became king

Not true what they say about the first child
Twas not the underking who set his spirit free
As time passed those who took it died
Except one who's now counting to sixty-three

Duh, I actually read this not too long ago (Night Falls on Sentinel)...

The rightful king dropped dead
With help from he who says
There's ten in your head (this was the trickiest, 6 pain centers in your forehead, two in your brow, two on your nose, 10 total, in your head)
More than two decades ago 'twas (when Jomic and his guys kidnapped Arthago)
Now he will count his loss

Four children there were
One was carried of by the Underking (Arthago)
One died (Greklith), one got married (Aubki)
And the youngest one became king (King Lhotun)

Not true what they say about the first child (Jomic's gang spread the rumor)
Twas not the underking who set his spirit free (it was Jomic, an assassin)
As time passed those who took it died (Jomic's fellows died)
Except one who's now counting to sixty-three (Haballa's counts 63 pain centers from Jomic's dissertation)

With all of this, I'm assuming you're looking for Jomic

63 was the key for me...Great job on the complexity of the riddle! Took me an age to resolve it!

A Daedroth?

MyDireLife · Post by **MyDireLife** » Wed Jun 18, 2008 10:37 pm

Yep.

Took the lines striaght from a song, pretty funny how well it matches up ><

Its Armor Is Tenfold Shields - Daedroth Shield (Shield 20pts for 45sec on Self. Immune to Silence)

Its Teeth, Swords - It is an upright aligator....

Claws In The Guise Of Hands - Meh, whatever

And From Its Tongue, Fire - Fiery Breath (Fire Damage 20pts in 5ft on Target.
~
This Uninspired Muse Rules Only Barren Lands - It does come from the Plains Of Oblivion....

I have an idea of a riddle.

I am a Daedric God

I am often considered to be one of the morally "good" gods

In Morrowind, people often thought that my shrine quest was directly part of the main quest in some way

A vertical transfer of my shrine

Who am I?

Azura?

I'll still throw it open to any who want to post a riddle....

No other "good" Daedra Lords came to mind, hehe....

Every day ships dock on moors
that lurch out from my Golden Shores
My city, called by such a name
that blacksmiths use to metal-tame
On a map one might find me
and so still if, West, looks he
My fish do swim with pride and glee
What could I be?
