Pillar Puzzle

Nordic Pillar Puzzles appear in many of the crypts, burial ruins, and cairns found throughout Skyrim. They consist of three or four pillars, each with one of three symbols on each of their facets; these symbols must be corretly aligned to the arrow located on the floorplate surrounding each pillar, generally to open an otherwise impassable door. The clues to proper alignment are often nearby, in some cases right behind each pillar.
