Riddle #18 (Made by Oathsoul) Global Theme (NOT related BA or RS)
The sky gives me form
The sea gives me life
If you give me purpose
I’ll give you a story
Answer: Solved by JustGlyphs (Prize: Pending...)
Feather
The sky gives me form - Birds in flight give form to their feathers (hence the original “sky” usage; the hint of switching “sky” with “wind” makes it a little easier to see)
The sea gives me life - Consider an octopus producing ink; the ink (as I like to describe it) “serves as the feather’s blood which gives it life in its usage;” without ink, the feather “cannot live” in the writer’s hands
If you give me purpose - “you” referring to the writer/artist
I’ll give you a story - The “living” feather produces a story (whether words or pictures) for the person using the feather.

my Tale begins with all things told - A civilization’s population (as far as we know) doesn’t last very long (~10^4 years), which is comparatively moments in a star’s lifetime.

for when I Wake, I sound a jarring chime
Answer: Solved by JustGylphs (Prize: Pending...)
Railroads
My body stretches and coils for miles - Railroads extend for many miles, and typically straighten out or curve around
My bones withstand the test of time - Bones refer to the wood planks between the metal railings; railroads built up to hundreds of years ago are still around.

A mere little hobbit became the hero for all,
From the grandfather to son, they bowed in awe.
