Puzzle: The Veiled Riddle

The Shadow's Gate

You whisper "SKUGGA" and the way forward groans open. You can feel ancient words carved into the stone, but the darkness is absolute. Reach out and let your touch be your eyes.

I have no voice,
but I am born of a cliff's steep face.
I weaken with distance,
yet can cross a silent lake.
I answer every call,
but ask nothing for my sake.
