After 'slipping' and pressing the wrong trigger on my hotas, I came away with the prism / ancient artifact from one of the etowers in the ruins. This allowed me to view it from all sides, incuding the lower end, and this showed my initial thought of two interior shapes existing was correct. There's a d20 shape surrounding a sphere inside the prism about a third of the way from the top, where the light is emitted from seemingly. I didn't need to clip with the debug camera to see this too, which was nice.

The sunlight was in the right place for a good shot of the linear features of the ruins, which I'll post once it's finished uploading. I'll appologise in advance for all the tire tracks from my SRV that can be seen (impressive detail from 1.5km up)

Looks like an UA embryo. :D
 
No idea if this adds to anything, but just got this from the Arcana Wiki...

Basic Information

In Norse Mythology, Rán is a Vanir sea goddess with an unpredictable and dangerous personality. Rán is married to Ægir, a sea-giant, and together they have nine daughters (see Nine Daughters of Ægir) who are waves. However, that marriage doesn't stop Ran from having all sorts of affairs.

"Affairs" is actually the polite way to put it. Rán carries a large magical net, which she uses to catch both fish and men. When someone drowns, it is said that Rán has taken them. Those who die at sea do not go to either Valhalla nor Niflheim. Instead, they end up in Rán's bed, or the bed of one (or more) of her nine daughters. Yep, she kills men, then has sex with them for eternity. The old norse were a little kinky.

Rán and her family lived in an undersea cave lined with gold. Rán apparently really loved gold. They say that vikings would carry some gold on them when sailing, in case Rán seized them. It's unclear whether the idea was that you could bribe her or distract her with the gold and thus escape, or if the gold gift was to get her to keep you in her home when she was otherwise done with you. I'd be a little worried that sailing with gold would attract her attentions, but maybe that was the point. Rán's bed is certainly better than Niflheim.
