Recently, I've begun to incorporate a multitude of riddles into my games. How often do you use riddles, and what do you use them for.
Personally, I've used riddles such as the one presented below for foreshadowing and for the opportunity to create an interesting word puzzle:
[FONT="]Fear the day when the vile skull gazes upon Lhaervyn.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The seas will dry up, the forests will shrivel--[/FONT]
[FONT="]--as the fallen rise from their graves to reap the world of the living.[/FONT]
[FONT="]War will be realized as the greatest mortal folly as--, [/FONT]
[FONT="]--in a condign display of irony, the dead will become an army beyond any other.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Its glorious visage will be manifested through failure of wisdom.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Thus, the second moon’s ancient grudge will be partially avenged.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Dare not animadvert or condemn, as it will annihilate all of our frail bodies when it arrives.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Remember that you will perish.[/FONT]
