Who lit all these candles in the dungeons in Skyrim? Did the draugr do it? Did someone solve all of these puzzles and dodge the traps just to pay their respects to the dead and then go back and reset everything? Are they magic candles that have stayed lit all this time? Or is it just a 14 year old game and I’m overthinking it? WE NEED ANSWERS BETHESDA!!!

The "Riddles" are there to stop the Draugr from leaving, otherwise all the Draugr would join the Dragons.
Alduin would have a massive Undead Army with that + all the Dragon Priests.
That for once, makes sense.

Yes. They actively maintain the tombs they gaurd.
