The paper map you get with the game, there are numerous red X's on it. Anyone know what they are for?

Places of interest.
Things like Labyrinthian, Dwemer ruins with entrances to the Blackreach, various stones; many different things.

its places where the adoreing fan has shouted " by azura! by azura! by azura!"

*sigh* i really miss him, but then i suppose we have companions now

Thank you for asking this! I was wondering the same but always forgot to ask. Now I'm enlightened too.

Why has no one made a new shout with this?

they're standing stones.

(cmoon share the skooma?!)

wow flower... that's some good [censored] you smoking there! XP

May I be so impolite to hijack this thread for another little question? Does anyone know which book it is in Skyrim that holds the lyrics from the main theme, both in Dragon language and in English?

I've searched myself silly in the wiki but to no avail, yet I'm certain that I held it in my hands once in the game. I want it on the bookshelf in my newly purchased home!

standing stones, i asked this a cpl weeks ago and was kinda bummed thats all they indicated ;x

They don't just indicate standing stones. There's other stuff too.
Otherwise I'd like to see a screenshot of the standing stone at Labyrinthian or Meridia's Shrine, for example.

^^did not know this, ty!

So they are all different, nothing specific, just interesting stuff.
I remember in Morrowind they were the locations of shipwrecks but that obviously cant be the same here.

I went to one X, and found nothing lol, but i must've missed it. I spent a good 20 minutes poking around the supposed X spot though.
