Is there a quest to be triggered once one was moved to Beast Stone in Skyrim?
So I was clearing out a ship wreck and decided take a nap in a nearby sleeping roll to feel well-rested, when suddenly I woke up working on some temple at the Beast Stone with bunch of cultists.
The Temple of Miraak is close nearby featuring a Tree Stone. Interacting with the stones just makes me their tool again to work at the temple. I tried talking to the cultists but they all spout out mystical one liners.
Is there a quest involved with those cultists, and if so how do I trigger it? Or was this just a random encounter?
Best Answer
The Beast Stone is one of 4 markers (though there are 5 in total) that need to be cleansed as a part of the main questline in the Dragonborn DLC. This is done with the Bend Will shout.
Once cleansed, all the people that are working on the stones will be freed, and you will also gain an ability from it. The Beast Stone in particular will allow you to summon a were-bear to fight along side you for a short time.
Additionally, the trigger for yourself to somehow have been entranced by the powers of the stone, and wake up worshipping/working on the stone is caused by sleeping in Solstheim before having learned the first word of the Bend Will shout.

What happens when you activate Beast Stone?
The Beast Stone is an All-Maker stone located west of Thirsk Mead Hall. Once cleansed, this stone gives you the power to summon a werebear to fight alongside you. Once you use this power it will disappear and the only way to get it again is to go back to the Beast Stone.How do you trigger cultists in Skyrim?
Players will require the expansion to begin this questline. If you have completed the Skyrim Main Quest Line up to The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, simply travel to any of the main holds and wait for a pair of cultists to seek you out. They will ask if you are indeed the Dragonborn, and then attack you.How do I trigger the Dragonborn Questline?
To begin Dragonborn, you must travel to Solstheim. This can be done at any points after installing the game add-on content by travelling to the Windhelm docks and locating Gjalund Salt-Sage, a sea captain that may be willing to take you to the island for a small fee.How do I start the cleansing the stone quest?
The only stone you cannot cleanse is the Tree Stone, which sits above the Temple of Miraak.
