The Trickster's Riddle

This is the aesthetic centre of the Gardens. Here, great animals roam freely; here, the artworks and monuments of every culture are arranged. It is the most stunning neutral territory. Gnarly nighttwists, elegant yellow musk creepers, strong assassin vines, beautiful rare and Steep herbs, all grow here in attractive proportions. Each is laced with just a touch of magic frost which enables it to survive in the adamas-rich, strong-smelling soil.

"Indeed. I do not know if that day is today. These times are dark, and not for reflection, but for action.

Though I find that I can do little else but reflect as the world crumbles around me. I remember too well the times of being a human, and I feel far older than I ought to be."

Whatever became of the rest of the deities from the old worlds. From the Icy Wastes and the Mountain Plane.

From what I know, however, Bregelmir cared little, and was a Lord of many people. He will be a suitable guess.

As I recall, many of the Steepest were carried off in strange diamond transports, a celestial ship of sorts, with none of the comforts of a real ship.
Others may have been trapped as the realms were shivered and ruined.

Others are here but have not said or done much.

Their stories are still a part of History, at least.

Steepest Durin and Grey Aides are those who might help us the most in terms of records from that time.

"Bregelmir is not the answer, though your assessment of him is good. What lair Bregelmir had was always stolen from others. Funny! Funny funny, hahahahaha! Why do you not laugh at your own pitiful attempts at this riddle?"

The use of past tense makes me wonder - perhaps a dead person, or a skull?
