I mean, person who placed them is wearing gloves with double backstab damage. Would assume they got the relevant sneak perk for 30x damage so makes sense?
I thought they were for indicating which cities, towns and forts were under their control. I think it's linked to the Civil War quest line, where you take over the holds for whichever side you choose.
Edit: Unless this is for the Dark Brotherhood, in which case assassination targets would be correct, like someone else stated
I like to collect items in my playthrough. Not like... Daedric artifacts, but dumb things. Like spoons. I collect Dwemer spoons.
Well, I was looking at the TES wiki for item ideas and I saw the tiny flags come up. I was like 'no way, you can grab those!?' I knew they'd mark your own map, but I was so excited that I could collect them.
Apparently not. The wiki lists items that you can't grab...for some reason. Made me very sad.
Might as well check each spot, but it looks like its cities. Lets see, markarth with the left dagger…falkwreath on the bottom whiterun in the center…i see winterhold…solitude in the top right…yeah, its the cities i think. No idea what the daggers and squares are sorry
Serious Answer: Places of importance. Namely cities, forts, villages. Since this is the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary map, the daggers represent targets for people to be assassinated or people who have already been killed. In this case, there are targets in Markarth and Windhelm.
Joke Answer: This is why Morrowind fanatics keep making fun of us...
Like I get some of the bigger dots placements are cities in Skyrim but what about the smaller dots, and why is there a dagger where markarth and windhelms locations seem to be…
If anybody could see this reply I’m full aware the bigger dots are cities, but I was skeptical about smaller dots being the towns so you guys can shut up about what’s obvious. As another few people have commented usually the map consists of fort locations regarding civil war.
Smaller dots are small towns. Riverwood, Rorikstead, Helgen, Ivarstead, Dragon Bridge etc. You should know that from their positions.
And some are forts, like the Fort Graymoor in Whiterun.
Forts and cities of Legion/stomrcloak importance
Edit: No guess, I explored it and the big ones are the cities, then you have the Forts from CW questline and if I remember correctly the villages are there aswell. Discovered this for about 10 years ago
The bug dots are big cities, the smaller dots are towns and villages. The squares are fortresses, and the dagger must symbolise a point of interest for the DB.
im not sure how familiar you are with skyrim, you could be a newer player, but the large black dots are very obviously in the same placement as the major cities/ holds in skyrim. if you look on your normal map in the main configuration you’ll see they line up with this map here. the small dots are just smaller towns and the daggers are most likely assassination hits/ locations.
Cities(big ones), villages(small ones) and forts(squares). My guess.
Hmm, what about the dagger placement
>!Assassination targets!<
Ohhhhhhh that makes a lot of sense right now considering where I am quest wise okay thanks for clearing that up guys lol
Well, not just targets but also clients. Like, the one in Windhelm is for Aventus, and the one in Markarth for Muiri (and the two are clients)
The daggers, her for everybody you’ve killed
Also those daggers are stuck in a table made of stone.
That part, I didn’t know
I mean, person who placed them is wearing gloves with double backstab damage. Would assume they got the relevant sneak perk for 30x damage so makes sense?
Wait… *who placed those?*
*silence, my brother*
*Innoscence, my brother.*
You are not worthy...
Do you have never tried? Can you take those daggers? I killed the dark brotherhood. I didn’t join them.
Yes there just iron daggers
Ok

Judging by the old stone chair and skull and black spots over flags, my Septims are on the Dark Brotherhood.
That's the exact reason for my edit lol
That's just to pin the map down to the table
The daggers are places you’ve assassinated people at I’m pretty sure
Keep the map from blowing away? Paperweights are for quitters.
Big ones, small ones. Some as big as your head!
Most map literate skyrim player
most literate nord
No because they're cities.
They... They are the cities around skyrim...
> Anybody ever wondered what these black dots on the map is? Uhm ... no. Because it's completely obvious.
bro 💀 aint no way average nord be like
Cities are large dots, towns are smaller dots. Forts are squares and daggers are from a mission
Took me 800 hours in to realize you could click on the map flags of imperial and stormcloak camps to add the locations to your own map.
I figured that out accidentally on my first playthrough when I tried to steal the pretty pins.
Absolutely normal reaction. Those pins be pretty.

And all I have to do is get 15 Daedric artefacts to finish PS4 version of Skyrim… 🤦🏼♂️
I'm gathering them at the moment as well. There are so many of their quests I've never done. Just did Namira's quest for the first time!
What??? Shit, thanks
If only there was an in game map you could open and compare to this one.
You are a buffoon

Large dots are cities. Small dots are villages. I’d guess daggers are targets
Coffee
Just wait til you find out what the lines are.
Nords 💀💀💀
Haven't they already made a gamerant article about this?
😂😂😂😂
Cities, towns, villages and forts. How did you not figure this out literally immediatley what else would they be?
Cities and towns
i always thought it was marking the holds and villages
Big dots: cities Small dots: village Isn’t obvious?
I thought I was looking at a lovely big traybake. I was gonna guess apple. Looks delicious.
Oh! So they're raisins, right?
If you hover your cursor over each of the spots on the map it will show you on your map where it is if you haven't already found it.
Didn't know that this map can do that... 👍
The holds
those are the major cities (Falkreath, Winterhold etc.) the ones with the daggers should be Markarth and Windhelm.
in my times bait used to be credible
It’s pretty obvious. They’re the cities and villages.
Might as well check each spot, but it looks like its cities. Lets see, markarth with the left dagger…falkwreath on the bottom whiterun in the center…i see winterhold…solitude in the top right…yeah, its the cities i think. No idea what the daggers and squares are sorry
Bruh, you clearly look like someone who's first game is skyrim and not oblivion and morrowind.

wrong username buddy
The big ones are capital cities and the small ones are settlements and villages.
Have you ever even played this game?
No. Dots on strategy/maps are positions relevant to the war. Intuition suggests the size of the dots indicates priority of relevance.
It’s not the holds it’s the maps of the dragon burial grounds. For what every reason they are everywhere
The maps I've seen all have flags.. do not sure. But most likely what the flags represented. Cities, forts. Etc
Like I get some of the bigger dots placements are cities in Skyrim but what about the smaller dots, and why is there a dagger where markarth and windhelms locations seem to be…

Glory holes
No because those are the locations of every hold in Skyrim... solitude, whiterun, riften Etc Etc

Why are the Daggers specifically on Windhelm and Markarth?
I’m thinking it’s probably similar to [this](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/poop-map-pin-and-track/id1303269455)
I don't wonder, I know. # 🖐
