Sentinels Statue

Nearby is the entrance to the Undercity Market.

The Sentinels Statue is an iconic monument located in one of Seregon's many bustling town squares. Commissioned 50 years ago, the statue honors the legendary ~Sentinels of Seregon, a group of four heroes who played a pivotal role in saving the city on numerous occasions before the outbreak of Amber Fever. The statue serves as a poignant reminder to the people of Seregon of a time when hope and heroism seemed boundless, and the city stood united against its greatest challenges.

The statue itself is a masterful piece of work, though not without controversy. It depicts the four Sentinels in dynamic, heroic poses, each representing the unique contributions they made to the city's defense. The figures are slightly larger than life, standing proudly on a raised pedestal that allows them to be seen from all around the square.

Each of the four figures represents a different aspect of the Sentinels' legendary exploits:

1. The Warrior: Clad in intricately detailed armor, this figure stands at the forefront, sword raised high as if ready to strike down an unseen foe. The warrior’s pose exudes strength and determination, symbolizing the unyielding courage of the Sentinels in the face of danger.

2. The Wizard: Positioned to the left of the warrior, the wizard is depicted wearing a flowing robe and a traditional pointed hat, with one hand outstretched as if casting a spell. Interestingly, the wizard is also depicted wearing armor, a detail that has sparked much debate among historians and scholars. While it makes the figure appear more heroic, it is widely regarded as an artistic liberty taken by the sculptor, who created the statue long after the Sentinels had disbanded.

3. The Rogue: To the right of the warrior stands the rogue, depicted in a crouched position as if ready to leap into action. The figure is clad in light, form-fitting armor, with a dagger in each hand and a cloak billowing behind. The rogue's face is partially obscured by a hood, adding an air of mystery and danger to the character.

4. The Druid: Completing the quartet is the druid, a figure dressed in flowing robes with a staff held aloft, radiating an aura of divine power. The druid's face is serene, representing the unwavering faith in nature and healing power that kept the Sentinels and the city alive through the darkest times.

Arcane casters who visit the statue often note that it radiates a faint magical aura, which has been attributed to its magical construction. While some speculate that the magic might serve a deeper purpose, such as protection or preservation, the prevailing belief is that it simply enhances the statue's durability and appearance.

Despite the debates about its historical accuracy, the Sentinels of Seregon statue remains a beloved landmark in the city. It is a common meeting place for locals, particularly young couples, who believe that a kiss shared under the watchful gaze of the Sentinels will ensure a relationship that endures through the ages. The statue, with its blend of heroism, artistry, and a touch of magic, continues to inspire the people of Seregon, reminding them of the city's storied past and the heroes who once walked its streets.
