Four Brothers

Perhaps the greatest monument left by the Kardunashi Sea Empire, the Four Brothers are an imitation of the Titan of Kardunash. To me, they invoke equal parts sadness and awe. They are impressive. Four stone men, all holding an entire island which had been raised from the seabed (when diving, one can still see the crater it left, eroded as it is). Atop those stone men live hundreds of people, and hundreds more reside within them in nooks and crannies. However, sadness also sets in. It is an imitation of the Titan, and unlike the Titan it shows its age. Moss grows upon the stone, and the faces lose detail with time. A great statue of Deshen once stood atop the island but he fell with an earthquake (the wreckage still lies on the land, Deshen's large stone head being a particularly interesting sight). Even in all the wealth and grandeur of the Kardunashi Sea Empire, their great titans are nothing compared to the feats of the Mannic peoples of old.

Four Brothers is an architectural creation located off the coast of Yekare. It is the seat of House Sollen. It is considered one of the greatest feats of Kardunashi architecture. The complex was constructed on the orders of Sea Lord Quarta III of the Kardunashi Sea Empire. It depicts the four (faithful) sons of Deshen (Unknown, Abuleth, Jarosh, and Unknown), dressed in military regalia, and holding up a raised island. Originally, a gargantuan statue of Deshen stood on the raised land, however after an earthquake in IV 3876 the statue of Deshen collapsed and fell. Since then, a small town has grown on the island.

Villages dot the statues, often nuzzled into natural or carved nooks and crannies.
