Poulnabrone

Poulnabrone Rock, and the two miners working on it.

Details

“	The fabled remains of an ancient people... Though stories conflict regarding whether those people were the Nemedians or Partholonians.	„
—Historian Ainsley

“	My best guess is that this rock is a remnant of the First Battle of Mag Tuireadh - Ah, the battle where Morrighan used a forbidden spell against Fomors, and turned to stone? In the scriptures, the stone is called 'Poulnabrone', but I'm not sure what that means...	„

More about Poulnabrone

“	Fir Bolgs. In the first Battle of Mag Tuireadh, Fir Bolgs allied with Fomors, leaving the Tuatha de Danaans in dire straits. The Poulnabrone was probably used by Fir Bolgs to connect with the Fomors. We presume it was by allowing them to Teleport somewhere inside Rath in order to rendezvous... Ahem. None of which tells us why the dungeons changed when Poulnabrone was discovered. Did the discovery perhaps shift the balance of energy that had accumulated in the Poulnabrone? We'll never find out by studying the Poulnabrone alone. We'll need firsthand accounts from the dungeons as well. Of course, the actual analysis will required trained magic scholars...	„

Trivia

• Its appearance coincides with the A New Dawn For Dungeons update, which made significant changes to Dungeons.
• Poulnabrone, also known as the Poulnabrone dolmen or the Poll na Brón dolmen, is the remains of a real-life passage tomb.
  • Poulnabrone is a combination of the Irish words poll (meaning hole, storage pit, burrow, or other cavities), na (meaning of the), and a form of the word bró (meaning millstone).
    • The word is commonly translated with the word brón (meaning sorrow) instead, perhaps because "Hole of Sorrows" better aligns with the mental image of a tomb than "Hole of the Millstone" (though the name of the dolmen could come from the townland it appears in and not the other way around).
