The Ring of Brodgar
Lead, follow, our get out of the way.
Situated 20 miles to the northeast of the city of Alisar The Ring of Brodgar is comprised of a megalithic ring of stones around a more recent tomb. The stones encircle an Altar of the same age as the ring.
The tomb itself appears to be a more recent addition to the site as the stonework is off greater quality and shows significantly less wear.
A single path leads to the top of Weather Bluff, a prominent hill in the region, where the ruins lay.
On close inspection, you may notice his strains cover the altar at the center of the ring and a drain has been gouged out to channel the blood away.
A simple inspection reveals that the blood appears to be channeled to the tomb that stands several feet away.
