  • Mission Statement

    Anyone with an interest in riddling is welcome. 1) Be respectful of others in the group wall. (We'd love it if you respected others outside the wall as well, however.) 2) No LFG or Spam of any kind in the group wall, unless specified by an admin (There should be an LFG post of some sort in the private section of this group's forum. If not, it's coming soon.) 3) We are here for riddling, so try to keep the chat as focused as possible on riddling-related conversation. If the chat is dead, meaningless chatter is okay, just don't clutter the chat with non-riddling things if someone is seeking feedback or the like. 4) If you aren't sure that a riddle will be well-received or you think the riddle may be faulty for whatever reason, ask me (Cadence) or an admin to review it (we have a rep to uphold, can't be shoveling out faulty riddles). I promise we won't guess, and if someone does, I'll kick them myself.

Riddle #1

Who/What am I? I bear an old name. I am born of those who died to protect. I am of the future-glimpser, the flood-watcher. I leave joy and suffering in my wake. My very form reveals the struggle of my existence. After all, there is no higher power then I. Edit: I wanted to throw this out there before I get too many guesses. You [i]must[/i] explain your answer. The correct answer with a poor explanation will be counted as [b]wrong[/b]! Congratulations! As you probably all know by now, yes the answer is the Gjallarhorn. Good job xTrainerYellowx for guessing it first, and congrats to EagleEye and FTG Griffix for stellar explanations! But this is just the beginning, guardians...

    Ghallarhorn. Old name; it's from old Norse legends, battle of ragnarok I believe. Born of those who protect. It was forged from the armor of those who died at the battle of twilight gap. Joy and suffering. Joy for those that don't have it as they have access to much of the end game content. Suffering for those who don't as they are usually denied access to it. No higher power; it's believed to be the best gun in the game, and quite honestly, in my opinion, it does rule the game, making it a higher power.

      Gjally. Reasons -Gjallarhorn is from the Norse mythology. Mentioned in the Poetic and Prose Edda from the 13th century. Its an old name. -Gjally was built from the pieces of those who fell during Twilight Gap, a famous battle between 3 great Fallen Houses and the City. We won at a great cost. -The events of Ragnarok were forseen, the Gjallarhorn was used by Heimdall as a warning. Flood watcher cause the name Gjallarhorn could extend from "horn of the river Gjoll", a river known for wisdom as well. -Joy for the guardian using it, suffering for the poor enemy that got hit with it. -Takes the form of a rocket launcher, a weapon used in wars. A struggle between sides. -Gjallarhorn is used by Heimdall who is a god. No higher power than a god.
