Sasquatch/Yeti...

His home is the forest, no limits.
The place is a majestic and wonderous place.
There is only one at a time seen, never in groups.
People do claim that it isn't real.

If Bigfoot isn't the answer, my brain might pop...

Think less about it being the only one, and more about it being special and set apart from others of its kind.

Loch Ness Monster...

Nope. You're going in the wrong direction with your thinking.

Yes!

...

No.

I began to think of 'humanity' otherwise, but that is more of a what than a who, and many creatures would also be rather whats than whos. And if it isn't people, that gets harder. Even moreso if it's not a kind of creature that allegedly exists, but hasn't been really proven to exist just yet.

I'm kinda starting to think more in the direction of dinosaurs and related creatures that have survived up 'til this day. I don't suppose you are talking about turtles or crocodiles, right?

You're on the right track. I admittedly anthropomorphizied more than I ought to have, but I assumed the riddle would have been overly simple otherwise.



No, but I like the guess. Maybe I'll add another verse if you guys don't get it in the next day or so.

DING!

It's the Earth!

I was thinking the planet Earth as well, makes sense a little bit.

I think I will wait for more on the riddle before I make another guess.

Ding! It's Earth, or Mother Earth if you humanize it a bit.

My home's without limits, it has been described

The universe is vast and many scientists, Einstein included, have described the universe as being infinite or close to it.

Its magic and wisdom for ages transcribed

Astrology is one of the oldest superstitions in civilization dating back beyond the Mayans and Egyptians. People used to use the stars and constellations to predict the future.

Of my brothers and sisters, alone I have life

Earth is not the only planet in our solar system, but it is the only one which contains life as we know it.

Yet my history is one that is bloodied with strife

Pretty self-explanatory.

Ha, yeah, so I quite figured. Anyhoo, I haven't made riddles in a while, lessee how I do at it now.


Triangles settled above a man’s head
Two out of seven great human feats
One now gone, the other empty
But many others alike are still filled

What am I?

The "seven great human feats" make me think this has something to do with pyramids, but I'm not sure...

I myself am thinking down the lines of the seven sins...

Pride and gluttony..

It's neither, but RD is the closer one on this one.

Nope, that isn't quite it either!

Obelisks perhaps...

Obelisks do have triangles on top of them, some are destroyed.

This kind sounds like the Seven Wonders of the World based riddle.

"Obelisk" doesn't really come close, actually.

I think later today I shall put up a new passage. You're thinking too much about the Seven Wonders and not beyond that. Then again, perhaps the reference to them was too great...

Ha, sadly: no. Here's another part, hoping I did not make it too cryptic as well.


Triangles settled above a man’s head
Two out of seven great human feats
One now gone, the other empty
But many others alike are still filled

Six planks and a man can rest
Like a room fit for only his body
One or more of such may lie within me
Stone upon stone, built in their memory

What am I?

Yup! "Tomb" is the right answer! I actually had "mausoleum" in mind, but that seems more of a fancy word for "tomb", so I'll just count the answer as being correct, lest it wouldn't get guessed.

Triangles settled above a man’s head -- this of course refers to the pyramids, four triangles that together make the shape
Two out of seven great human feats -- the Great Pyramid and the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus are two of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, and both are essentially tombs
One now gone, the other empty -- the MoH is no more, and the Great Pyramid has no mummy inside
But many others alike are still filled -- but still there are many tombs around that are filled

Six planks and a man can rest -- of course meaning a coffin
Like a room fit for only his body -- yup
One or more of such may lie within me -- several of them may occupy a single tomb
Stone upon stone, built in their memory -- and a tomb (or a mausoleum) is built in the memory of those who lie inside of it.

Hit us up, Doc!

Energy?

Okay since I can't think of anything and there's really too much crap going on in my life, I'm gonna have to pass up on my chance and let someone else post a riddle.

I nominate Arkane to do so.

I accept. Haven't done a regular riddle in a while, let alone guessed at one.

Let's see:

Everlasting and sensational,
me and my vital counterpart have no relation.
One of my names derives from the child of gas and water,
the other is what one does to consume a meal.

What am I?
