Dolmens are locations where Molag Bal is attempting to latch onto Tamriel to drag it into Coldharbour. There are three in each zone, and ten in Cyrodiil. An active Dolmen can be seen and heard from quite some distance. Taking part in the battles at every Dolmen within your Alliance's zones will earn you an Achievement, and you will receive an additional Achievement if you complete every Dolmen in Tamriel. For information on the mechanics of Dolmens, see the page on Dark Anchors.
Although named as such, the Proving Grounds Dolmen in Craglorn is non-functioning and categorized as a Striking Locale. Similarly, the Unfinished Dolmen in Wrothgar is categorized as a Group Boss. Cloud Ruler Temple uses the Dolmen icon, but is categorized as an Explorable Location. Although the White-Gold Tower serves as one of Molag Bal's dolmens, it is categorized as a Group Dungeon. The Land Sundered from Tamriel is an unmarked location visited during the main quest in the Reach.
Bruma was originally marked as a City but was treated as a Dark Anchor. This was changed in Update 11 when Bruma became an Alliance War objective and its dolmen got its own map marker.
DialogueEdit
"Summon the blood sacrifice! When Coldharbour calls, Nirn obeys!
Lord of Brutality and Domination, we offer this sacrifice in your name!
With the power of innocent blood bring forth your Anchor and let two worlds become one.
Bind this world with your chains and draw it ever closer to your realm!"
