How do you reach sites of power in Gloriana's Tears?

There are 2 sites of power. From what I can tell by the map, they are way up high above the bridge type structures that you apparently can't climb. They look like stone ruins on top of the bridges. Is this the area I am supposed to get to?

those two sites of power require you to solve 2 puzzles each (the odd encounter bits you'll see marked on your map).

also, since you seem to be confused at how to even get to their doors? There are a few handy rock formations to climb up to get close to the bridges, and you reach the sites of power through the special portal doors at the tops of the stairs at each bridge. But, as mentioned in my last comment, you have to unlock them first with the secrets puzzles.
And it's 2 puzzles per gate to open.

I've already unlocked all 4 puzzles. I watched a youtube video that showed a rock formation you can climb with stairs up to the top of the bridge. Not sure if they are pre or post update videos. I haven't seen them yet as I've been exploring the area around the northernmost site of power.

I made it up to the sombre site of power and completed it.

My quest log says to complete the glorious site of power. I only have a radiant site of power toward the top of the map. I don't see any other sites of power on the entire map. Why the discrepancy between glorious and radiant? The sombre one said sombre on the map. Is this just an oversight on the developers part or is there a 3rd site of power somewhere?

Never mind, in the quest log it says go to the site of radiant power. No idea why the title of the quest is glorious site of power.

They are playing with words, likely in relation with the bit in the early forest realm where you can find out about bright and dark verbs. If you're looking for the way to get to that radiant site of power: look on map, just west of the north-eastern puzzle, you'll see a huge rock formation. Climb it, then cross that bridge, which will give you stairs to the next ones. Hopefully that helps.

Was wondering about this myself, then decided to try T4 climbing picks. Piece of cake, as they sink into the worked stone. Led me to a nice staircase leasing all the way up.
