This includes Fire, Ice, Water, Earth, Air, Void, Light, Time, etc.

A starter:

The envy of many a surgeon, I always succeed.
I use neither scalpel, nor stitch, but am often the greatest of needs.
Not your dollar, or cent as many believe,
And you might say I depart first class whenever I leave.
In urgency, you often refer to my height.
I am the abundance of many a prisoner, their activity day and night.
I admit to being impatient, if you know what I mean,
And perhaps never will I ever be subject to your elusive machine.
What am I?

Go forth and riddle!

format: post up a riddle and try to answer another person's if you want as well.

Earth!

Four of the norse,
Follows after an aim,
A meal's favorite asset,
And when respected is tame!

It actually identifies a very specific place, but that place does not have to be on Earth.

That's the south pole

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town
And beats high mountains down


There are four brothers in this world that were all born together.
The first runs and never wearies.
The second eats and is never full.
The third drinks and is always thirsty.
The fourth sings a song that never ends


Not hard to figure out the answers being in this thread.

I'd say it's Time.
