From the ends of the Earth my name is told
Where new land meets water and seasons are cold.
My looks are scarred with the lines of a story;
Of marriage and death and legends of glory.
I am but a branch from a proud family tree,
Or a standard of shame to stain history.
My tongue remains muted, but if closely you look:
The summary plot of an unwritten book.
Look to the sky to read a tall tale,
Now guess what I am,
It’s easy, don’t fail.

LOL! No, I won't be that obvious.

Spoiler for Question

Does it involve taking a letter from each line and getting a word that way or a word's anagram?

If it's the first way, we're looking for a 9/(11) letter word beginning with 'h'.

No Izzy. No tricks. This is a straight-up riddle. Enough word clues are within.

Man, I suck at straightforward non-math riddles. *ponders*

Not sure but,

Spoiler for I think I'll guess..

Tall tale makes me think of God, but as to how that relates with everything else I don't know.

Spoiler for Is it...

A place? Sounds like Pompei(sp?) to me.

edit: except for the cold seasons part...

Hmm. Don't think so. Unless mention of volcanoes were intentionally avoided.

Hard to say if its a place or if its a person..it has two ways at looking it at if you break it down, but as a whole, I'm clueless.
