The Watchers (building)

The Watchers are several ancient statues carved from the side of the northern Tarsanides. Twelve figures locked in prayer, love, and battle, while their construction is simple the detail in their pose and movements is excruciatingly detailed and the statues themselves massive, the feet alone the size of men.

Multiple religions have interpreted them differently and claimed them as holy sites, most recently the Wardenites. Critical interpretations of their origins and meaning vary greatly, from Aversarian academics claiming that it is a portrayal of a fantastical view of an ancient war in which one side has been portrayed as an Alien race, to the Ritualist belief that it is an interpretative portrayal of the journey up the 1001 Steps of Sophocos.
