The All-Maker Stones are magical stones found in the wilderness that, according to Storn Crag-Strider, maintain the Oneness throughout the land.
All of the Stones are initially tainted by an evil power of the dragon priest Miraak, which causes the inhabitants of Solstheim to become entranced when they pray at them. After cleansing the Stones, you may activate them for special abilities and powers. Powers must be regained from the Stones after use.

Notes
- During the quest The Fate of the Skaal, the Wind Stone is cleansed of Miraak's influence by using the shout Bend Will. In Cleansing the Stones, the Bend Will shout continues to be used as four of the other Stones are returned to normal. The final Stone is freed once the main questline is completed.
- When sleeping on Solstheim before visiting Saering's Watch and learning the first Word of Power of Bend Will, you may wake up at one of the All-Maker Stones which is still tainted. [verification needed — see talk page]
