@Zos_kaischober I was comparing the pictures. I think @droids097 may be the first one to post the correct location. I am not positive though, it can be hard to tell. I know I saw another ruined dolmen in the south west side of Cyrodiil when I was searching.

I think you're right. It's a bit hard to tell. I was about half-way between Alessia and Faregyl, just west of a small pond near the transit line.

We'll check that in-game, those two locations look similar and might have gotten me fooled. Sorry for the false call out.

If you look at kevin_e_olsonb14_ESO's 12:15 screenshot, there is a small twig of a tree at the right edge of the shot that is arching to the right.

In droids097's screenshot which was added to his 11:39 post at 12:18, making 12:18 the official post time of that picture, that same tree is to the left, behind him. He is opposite the side kevin_e_olsonb14_ESO was on.

In Faunter's 11:21 screenshot, that same tree is directly behind him. He is standing at the exact same place droids097 was standing, but has the camera swung around facing the tree.

You can also see this same tree in Vilda's 12:05 screenshot.

I'd say those are all the same spot, and Faunter was clearly first, IMHO.

Besides, he entered 3 different locations, he should get extra credit for that!

Perhaps in future events we should display the map when we take our screenshots?

They also used same general models for the ruined dolmens. If you look in Faunters 1st picture, the water that is in the back ground is different than what was around at the other location. The water was much closer and was slightly brown instead of blue. I was trying to compare them in game myself after I posted up my picture. ZOS probably didn't realize that the other ruined dolmens were around. I think they should both get pigs! Finding three of those things is quite impressive indeed.

Late, but I think this is the correct place.

Sorry my bad english.

Let's see then:

- In the domain of the eagle, head north from a windmill to a bridge crossing a troll in a tarn.

This place is in Aldemeri Dominion region (domain of the eagle). Only place that has windmills in this region is in Reapers March. A windmill could be found in Greenhill.
If you travel to north, you find the bridge to access Arenthia (dominated by Tarn family). There is a troll under the bridge.


- Travel the road, passing yellow flowers, until you reach the enkindled homestead.

If you cross the bridge, will fall into a dead-output (no wayout in Arenthia). But if you continue the trail bordering the river (there are yellow flowers in his start!), you'll pass in the north of Senalana's ruins, until the gate of "Old town" (It is a burned village).


- A furrow between rows of corn points to a plank leaning in the next direction.

This gate is in the middle of a corner walls (corner pun corn).
Following to the middle of the village, we found a rock / stele (plank). Turning left we have "The Vile Manse" hill.


- Follow its lead up the hill and across the road to the top of a tumbling stream.

Behind "The Vile Manse" hill, we got to the river again.


- Carefully descend to the structure caught in the lady’s final gaze.

There is a small dock on the river behind the mansion, where we find Melrethel.


- Follow the path as it leads away from her feet and search for the stair.

On the dock there is a staircase that climbs to the top of the hill, back to the mansion.


- Climb to their highest tread, catch your breath, and turn south.

At the end of the stairs, if you turn south, followed way towards the road.


- Vault a low wall and come upon two birches beside a large rock.

By skipping "dividing wall of The Vile Manse", do you even on the road and see two large trees, among them there is a small path.


- Hike beyond the tall stones to the shade of another birch pair.

This path is next to a large rock and also has other trees.


- Pass rock number three and seek the rune-bearing ruins.

At the end of this little path, there are three rocks, and after the third found "Fort Grimwatch Wayshrine" (the Bosmer prints seem runes).

Researshes's camp is a interest point near.






- The trail ends here, so /cheer to offer thanks for a safe journey!

I assume someone else received the reward? I haven't heard anything from ZOS and it's been over a day. What's going on?

Gratz to all, first off. I definitely think more of this kind of thing would draw people in.

Couple suggestions, @ZOS_KaiSchober‌

1. This sort of thing could be added in game for achievement purposes, requiring steps along the way for validation (There was something like this in Stros M'Kai, as I recall)
2. For simplification of future contests, you might include, in the final instructions, to face a particular direction (North, for instance) when taking the screenshot. This would help reduce ambiguity,

While I didn't get to begin when these were posted, I do intend to try to find the locales some time in the future!

For you add-on-maker types, an add on that allowed one to 'make' their own treasure maps complete with screenshots and written hints would have much potential for RP and user to user content! (Would be cool to let the ZoS staff have a go at user created versions, too!)
