the Statue of Tagrak
This obsidian statue towers above you, striking fear into your heart. It depicts the demon lord Tagrak, replete with dragon-like scales in horrifying detail. His torso, covered with gaping sores, spreads into eight arms, each clawed hand wielding a scythe, honed to perfect sharpness. The arms are hinged at the elbow, allowing a certain freedom of movement. The statue seems to be somehow standing guard over the huge gate to its left. None of the arms of the statue have been pulled forward.
Temple to the Demon Lords, Sapience
