The only possible reason Percival could think of at that time was idol worship. Even though any religion except the true one was banished and criminalized in Evernia, many villages still engaged in it… in secret.
It didn't seem out of reason for Deathlehem, an almost self-segregated and established village to have their own.
However, Percival decided not to conclude from his assumption. Driven by curiosity, he slowly approached the statue and inspected it.
There were writings on the slab which it was erected on. The writings were smeared by time but still visible enough for him to make out the words.
After reading, Percival's brows raised with intrigue as he looked up at the statue once again.
Apparently, the statue wasn't for idol worship, it wasn't even at least a monument to the monster's terror. Instead, it was a monument to its violent end.
Sculpted all around the base and climbing up the beast's massive legs were dozens of smaller, human figures.
