    what about when he's sleeping ?

    no firey innards, no creation.

    Same for coal, it has multiple states, most of which DON'T involve fire.

    seriosly, carbon is the best answer I have heard here so far, but even that seems contradicted by some aspects of the riddle. COME BAK STUPID POSTER, ANSWER YOUR DAM RIDDLE!

    that you need to relax and the world is not out to get you.

    so I would like you to believe... for now.

    anyways, I thought we'd already agreed on this, the answer is creation. Creation includes pretty much everything, and because SOMETHING has to fit each one of those descriptions, there is no better answer <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    For the "signature pieces" is that your forum signature or some kind of signature symbolizing object?

    how does creation fuel endless wars or represent a bygone trade? =/
    carbon's the one that sounds right to me and in the unlikely event it's not right 'n stuff I'd go for 'forge' or thereabouts. Anvils are something found in forges that are often associated with strength and I've yet to see one that isn't black =3

    I'd have to say either smithying (forging), iron or coal.

    Coal is ruled out as it is NOT known to have a blackened monolith, a symbol of strength, as a symbolic piece. Thats clearly an anvil - which is often used as a symbol for iron deposits in games/maps etc....

    But that anvil is only a signature piece - leaving us with either smithying (forging) or iron.

    Iron is not a symbol of a by-gone trade. Forging is. Forging is also creation.

    Only one that makes sense in my mind. Forging it is.

    I was gonna guess a locomotive... but I like forge better...

    maybe the answer is that blackened monolith in 2001: a space odyssey...
