==Statue and Significance== | |||
Colossal statuary is an ancient and widespread tradition in Coscivian culture, of which the [[Marble Emperor|statue-Emperors]] are the best-known examples. Within this tradition, the Marian statue atop the Mount belongs to a more specific genre of ''nárivethamton'' ("mountain sentinels") found throughout the Aterandic Mountains and Western Highlands. Primordial fear of the formerly glaciated interior of the island continent runs deep in the Kiravian psyche, so like all ''nárivethamton'', the Mount Saint Mary statue faces inland, expressing its builders' petition for protection against malign forces from the hinterland. The Mount Saint Mary Statue is the tallest ''nárivethamton'' of the Christian era in the Eastern Highlands. | |||
