Of course, it says Dolmen, not dollmen. Standing stones, a Celtic monument, often a tomb. That makes sense. If it's from MS it has to be pretty deadly.

Nothing from MS is particularly pretty or sweet so that can't be it.

Oh, right... it's dolmen. I keep forgetting. I guess you have to play Meredith Monk's "Dolmen Music" when using it.
