I'm stumped, any suggestions?

Although some might look for me in West Virginia - I've lived in fair, misty towns - Moriarty's puzzle rose above the scum to weave my draft. What am I?

No clue at all... freaking confusing.

This one is driving me nuts. I absolutely KNOW I'm looking in the right area, as the second half of the clues are right on the money to what I've found, but the West Virginia thing is making me feel lost. I can't seem to put it together.

I still dont know what it is .. even knowing it has something to do with that Dig game. Unless "The Dig" is the answer. It's the West Virginia part that is throwing me through a loop. And it mentions scum in the clue and scumm is part of the engine so does that have something to do with the answer? It makes my brain wanna explode!

Wow...I got it, I think.

A hint: the link posted is a red herring, but contains the answer.

I have no idea - is it a person or a company?

I am absolutely, positively stumped. I knew it had something to do with The Dig but, like Maklershed, the whole West Virginia thing just confounds me. It's probably easier than I think but I can't find any connection between the two. Gah.

I was able to get it for myself, hopefully it's correct though.

Is it?

Bobbin Threadbare, or LOOM?

Sirmackerel

Yes, that's most certainly the answer, since it fits all the criteria in the initial riddle. (It's the name of a town in West Virginia, apparently...)
