Obelisks are magical objects that can only worshipped by a shaman. When worshipped, the two sections will spin 90° and give the worshiper the reward or effect. If the shaman worshiping stops or is killed while the sections are rotating, the obelisk will give the reward to the blue team (this is important to know when playing online).

Unlike Stone Heads, Gargoyles or Totem Poles, there is no typical obelisk reward - it can be anything - from a change to the land - to a high-level spell.

It is impossible to sink an obelysk.
