Most of you are able to make out at least one of the carvings, and Shirin makes out more, and it is also clear the stone carvings here differ greatly from the petroglyphs you saw on the way in. With his sharp eye and religious training, Faolan is most able to recall how this all looks familiar, and with a figurative flick of a mental switch the obscure, seeming irrelevant lessons of old come flooding back.<br/><br/>You realize the twelve sections and carvings of a man probably relate to the god Aroden, whose principle holy text History and Future of Humanity depicts the 12 guises of Aroden. Absalom, the city at the centre of the world, claims to have been raised/created/founded by Aroden himself over 4000 years ago, but Aroden himself disappeared or died over a century ago. Nonetheless, you feel the lingering influence of his divinity in this place, even though it is clearly faded for most part, just like the stone carvings. Each carving you can make out is also accompanied by inscriptions and wordings from the holy text, but it seems slightly different and probably tell of an older version, perhaps closer to original.<br/><br/>The four guises you can make out are:<br/><br/>(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad259/zyraen/Mobile%20Uploads/Snip-it_1493260974475_zpsw56b9q5t.jpg)<br/>The Artist is depicted painting murals on the walls of a building, associated with Aroden having painted the city of Absalom with beautiful colors so that it might awe all who visited.<br/><br/>(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad259/zyraen/Mobile%20Uploads/Snip-it_1493261006884_zps42fcffet.jpg)<br/>The Fisherman is hauling a catch of huge fish to take back to Absalom, illustrating Aroden’s declaration that a great host of creatures could accomplish a great task, whether that be taming the wilds or feeding a nation.<br/><br/>(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad259/zyraen/Mobile%20Uploads/Snip-it_1493261047063_zpsp08o8m5u.jpg)<br/>The Soldier is depicted bearing a lantern through the streets of a city, following the dead god’s prophecy that the vigilant shall carry light to the darkest corners of the world to banish the shadows.<br/><br/>(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad259/zyraen/Mobile%20Uploads/Snip-it_1493261224703_zpsjwggncmh.jpg)<br/>The Scholar is depicted writing on parchment scrolls to make knowledge known to more, just as Aroden was said to smile on those who recorded history and other knowledge to share it with others.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Summary: At 2017-04-26 21:34:36, Melendrith (uid: 61033) rolls: 5d20 Result: 52 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=102677)<br/><br/>Full Result: Melendrith rolled: 5d20<br/>Comment: F Se Sh T V - defaults to Perception then relevant Skill if need be and kmkwn<br/>Result: 12, 8, 18, 5, 9, <br/>Total: 52</div></div>
