The Ayleids had many different city-states. Maybe those statues are representative of the different city-states? You might get a better answer in the Lore section?

It looks like a sort of battle scene maybe this person was fighting and the Ayleids were saved when these huge eagles swooped in and took her out. i dont know :shrug:

That's a very good anolysis, but I can't shake the feeling that we're overthinking some things in the game.

Edit: By "some things," I was NOT referring to the anolysis of said statue.

"That's a great anolysis but [totally unrelated comment]?!"

What?

What?

In other words, I get the feeling that we're going to over-anolyze something that the devs didn't intend to have any deeper meaning behind. Granted, that's not particularly likely, but still...

Well, that's what we're here for, isn't it?

Hence Albides' "What?".

Although I think that cheese is less than an efficient material for the manufacture of clothing.

anolysis of statue is good, but I get the feeling we're going to be anolyzing something that has no deeper meaning other than decor.

Well, yes the anolysis was good. What I think some guys here don't understand, is why you believe the statue itself has no deeper meaning.

Whilst most of it may be conjecture and extrapolation from other sources, it's damn good conjecture and from good sources.

Well, the statue has a deeper meaning; it's been clearly demonstrated. It's just that I'm sure that there are other things out there that have no deeper meaning.

Ok. But, that is still a completely unrelated topic, Crimson.
