Often great events will be commemorated in statue. Here Asheru notices a work comemorating the victory of "St. Kill-Them-All" over the barbarian chief "Pointy Teeth". This goes out to the little kids spooked by religious statuary. Blocked figure is "The Scholar" Scott Ruggels 3 / 2000

As a contrast, Here is the Alpha Pair of Asheru's little tribe. This happy couple lead the group. No names for them yet, But soon. Scott Ruggels 3 / 2000
