Riddle games.

[Razosh]

So as many others I'm sure I love riddles and I thought to myself lets start a riddle game on this forum and everyone gets to submit their own riddles that they've invented.

So the riddle I've invented goes like this.

I have watched since the dawn of time.
I am the father of the winds.
I have my nest in the crown of the world
tree, for when the time comes and the
gates to the dead opens it's my time to
feast on the corpses of those who are
witheout life.
Who am I?

Answer:
Hräsvelg (Swedish) or Hræsvelgr (Danish)

You are lowe1994ba

 

[Razosh]

Nope I can give you a hint though it's from norse mythology but don't worry if you can't figure it out I will give you the answer.

 

[Vunjo]

Nidhogg?

I have no true colour,
my ideals are opaque.
My tongue's sharp like the one of a snake,
and my eyes see everything.
I'm hard to find,
though there are few of us.
I feed on the really little things,
and there is no chance of escape for them.

I think you should specify what part of knowledge are you in. For example the loweba's "norse mithology". By reading yours it could be something that I don't even know it exists.

Yea figuring out a riddle witheot knowing on which path you walk is extremlly hard and unless the answer to your ridle is easily obtained you should consider giving a clue.

A Chameleon?
Oh, and I'm pretty sure the answer to lowe's riddle is Niddhogr.

Nidhoggr has been guesed before even though there are two flaws with that idea, Nidhoggr is not the father of the winds and he does not have his nest in the world tree however I shall give you one more hint the characters name I'm looking for is unnamed in the english language but has been given a name in both the Swedish and Danish language.

Edit: And just to be clear I didn't ask you to guess the Swedish or Danish name just saying the unamed .... will be fine.

 

[Vunjo]

Isn't Nidhogg connected in some way with Yggdrasil? :O

^ Yep, he lives in it and tortures the dead.

@dmw: true

So its either the Vedrfolnir, the Vidofnir, or the Hraesvelgr.

 

[Razosh]

Yes you are correct the right answer was Hräsvelg as he is known in Sweden or Hræsvelgr as he's known in the danish tounge even though all the english sources I've found call him the unamed eagle.
