@caliblorn "Aah. Yes. Yes... they did that. Come further, Sunshine... We'll show you."

"This", the Ashlander said, "is the Unfinished Dolmen. It is located in southeast Wrothgar. It is the place, after days of researches, the Cult found the Veil to be the brittlier; ideal for the sorcerers to call Oblivion from. The rock around the plain was dark and cold, perfect to fuse with the magical effluviums of Oblivion that would echo from a megalith to another like doors to be opened. As they began to lift the stones, properly carved with the holy runes commanding Nirn to bend before Coldharbour, and as the sacrificial altars were finally in place, they found out they kept progressively disappearing when they would not take a deep care of them, days after days - one by one."

"It was quite a surprise, and quite something unusual. In fact, any living being that is a little receptive to magic, scents and auras flees instinctively the crafting areas - one of the reasons explaining why Worm Cultists were not that bothered during their toil. On most cases, stones were already carved when carried to the place they would be lifted on, but Wrothgar was an exception; the geography was not agreeing to permit this facility so they had to work on spot, quickly and efficiently. The stones disappearing... Was a disaster, and augured many torments. Such unfinished work is a shame in the eyes of both King and Prince, who dislike more than everything the lack of results coming from their subjects... But in truth, the Cultists found out that the magical tracks left by the stones during their removal lead to the new Orsinium and surroundings. They deducted that the Orsimer, reckless and oblivious of what was about to happen here, used them as basic material for bridges and walls, an innocence we personally find amusing. But, you know... Most of Worm Cultists are terrified of Bal's wrath. So terrified they would prefer throwing themselves into an endless labour and dying achieving it rather than admitting how vain -and pitiful- their entreprise was. And dying on it is what many chose to do. In fact, the disposition of the lifted stones and the presence of sacrificial altars already permitted the Cultists to reach Coldharbour - it was stuttering, yes, but enough to command a large two-winged Daedroth. Zandadunoz the Reborn is chained to this infant Dolmen by oath, protecting it with an unknown to most men and mer ferocity. Conjurate such a being is quite a miracle in itself, wouldn't you think ? Few mages ever happen to subdue a Titan in their life." They think for a few seconds... Then crack the fainting dawn of a smile, their eyes shutting with a prudish pride. "Thus, Sunshine, is why we would not call it a Failure."

Did You Know: No Dark Anchors fell in Orsinium? This is because the Orcs simply stole the stones the Worm Cult used for their dolmens and repurposed them for construction projects.
