SCA Life

I give you a medieval riddle. You have until Friday at midnight PST to give me the answer. The first person with the correct answer gets to choose which of my SCA filk songs will be posted on Saturday. Finally, anyone who has a medieval riddle they’d like me to use in the future, or a song they’d like to share, please contact me.

Riddle
My house is not quiet, I am not loud;
But for us God fashioned our fate together.
I am the swifter, at times the stronger,
My house more enduring, longer to last.
A times I rest; my dwelling still runs;
Within it I lodge as long as I live.
Should we two be severed, my death is sure.
