Alright, so after posting this on my Guild Forum as an event and noone could really figure it out without me pre-chewing the entire riddle and all they had to do was swallow it, I decided to give it a try here.

I'm not really rich in game so I can't give you a lot for solving it, but I guess you can contact me if you want to win 3k...

Rules: You can discuss progress on the riddle in this thread. I'll also give some little hints on telling what you have to do next.

A little hint: You have to read to URL name to the image and do what it says.
In some cases you have to change the url to advance to the next part.
I'll be posting 1 hint tomorrow on what to do with the last 5 images.

The riddle will make sense when you know the answer, but you just have to see it. x]

To make it a little bit easier I posted the links in which you have to fill an answer in. Each question mark equals one letter.

The riddle:

Yes, these 6 images contain an entire riddle.

Good luck!

I got through here in a matter of 2 minutes, I hope it gets harder lol.

Edit: I'm assuming the first letter of each answer goes into each blank for the next 5 links?
Edit 2: Nope, not it...maybe it's an anagram...

The concept art is definitely that of the Norn.

I got the Pie/Pi part rather quickly as well.

Edit: I keep on thinking that the pi=3,1416 part has something to do with the next part.... not sure what the relationship is yet, though.

The second image you have to find you made it look like Thirty One Thousand Four Hundred and Sixteen.
Unless thats deliberate it should be a . not , in between Three and One.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

This is agony.

As in the skill... Agony.

Did I win yet?

Pi = 31416

Guardian
Grenth
Kodonur
Norn
Deadly Arts

Use the letter in each word that correpsonds to each number and you get AGONY.

Haha, I'm a bit late with the reply, though someone sent the answer in PM right before you posted it, makosi.

You have to do something from the numbers of pi with the answers.

No right answers yet. You guys got a lot further in 10 minutes than my guild did in 3 days. o-o

Also realized a typo in the title, should be "A little riddle". D:

Yes, it's norn art.

That doesn't make any sense the 4th letter in Kourna isn't o its r

or is it just taking a random letter and hoping it works

It's fun too see that people here can solve this within a few minutes, and I think the people in my guild didn't even reach the pi image. :/

I'll be posting a new riddle later, hopefully a bit more challenging.

@ Cpt: No not really, it's in Kourna so it was possible too. O: Could've been Nightfall or something too, but it was Kodonur in this case.

Agony's the right answer. o:

Also thanks to whoever moved it, I didn't see this part of the forum.

Dudes that totally didnt look like the norn. I saw that picture and tried to think of where I recognized it, so I went to the Warhammer webpage, and found this

The guy on the right looks just like the picture! I guess you need to be more careful when you make your riddles to get pictures from the right place.
