Menhir

Menhirs were a type of stone typically used for portals or outdoor religious shrines.

History
In ancient times the Yuir folk of Aglarond used menhir stones that were infused with crystals to create portals. Throughout the ruins of Yuireshanyaar one could find circles of menhirs, all bearing inscriptions that were carved in an ancient Elven dialect. Over time the power of these menhirs faded and they became buried within the undergrowth of Yuirwood.

In 1479 DR, the Festering Wound tribe conducted a mining operation within the Tannath Mountains on behalf of a mage known as the Saffron Devil, harvesting within its depths the same menhir stones that were once used by the Yuir folk. They attached the mined stones to sledges, which they then had pulled by giant ants.

Rumors & Legends
Some of the ancient menhir circles of Yuireshanyaar were rumored to transport people to Sildëyuir.
