About
- Name
- Äsüzÿsk
- Other Names
- Troll Stones
- Type
- Statues
- Description
- Scattered throughout the land of the Layor are tall stone obelisks carved with four faces, one in each cardinal direction. The stones that remain intact are approximately three or four metres in height above ground, with a roughly square cross-section, and carved in relief. Lichens and moss are found growing on the stone where they are not tended to by locales.
Location
- Scattered throughout Layor these obelisks are found along known roads and trails, as well as in seemingly untraveled regions.
History
- The obelisks are ancient, weathered, and overgrown and the Layor do not recall their true origin. These statues are said to be the earthly remains of four headed Zyskäsü which froze in the sunlight, or perhaps they are merely signposts marking trails lost in time. The Layor do not worship any deities, so it is unlikely that they are idols, or representations of any gods. Even so, some people will leave small offerings at such sites, in hopes of appeasing whatever spirits might linger nearby.
