Well, the actual "plinth" is the level part of the structure that the toroids are sitting on. I envision DN Plinths as flat "landing areas" without structures on them, but plenty of runes carved on the edge/top. Another thought is that they are like either Trilithons (the uprights-and-crosspieces of stonehenge), or dolmen/cromlechs (a capstone balanced on three or four stones like Kit's Coty). In any case, the "landing area" should be flat, rather than having any sort of structure (toroid or otherwise) on it.
