The Standing Stones were a monolithic group of druid stones located east of the Nelwyn Valley. Although they were apparently used in rituals long before the rise and fall of Bavmorda, their original purpose was no longer understood by the time of the battle of Nockmaar.[1] The stones were inhabited by spirits whom some individuals prayed to.[2]

Behind the scenes

The Standing Stones were originally meant to appear in the movie Willow. As shown in Industrial Light & Magic: Into the Digital Realm, they were initially described as an area near the Nelwyn village that served as the departure point for the expedition to the Daikini crossroads.[3] In the actual movie, however, the departure point did not feature those stones.[4]
