Today on Teras Isle...
Tremendous clattering is heard as a group of dwarves enter, pulling a covered statue on a wheeled cart. The apparent leader yells, "Ready? Heave!" and the rest of the workers hoist the statue to its new home by the fountain. They pull off the large tarp and walk out with the cart, wheezing with the strain of the job.
At long last, the town officials are pleased to announce a brand new statue at the intersection of Dragonspine and Krodera.

The pool is edged with waterspouts, from which jets of clear, clean water jet upward and inward toward the center. The water falls at the feet of a pristine hulking giant statue.

Comprised of a variety of polished metals, this life-size likeness of a giantman stands facing the fountain, one foot on the surrounding wall. He is clad in invar breeches and a matching chainmail shirt, gripping a solid vultite bastard-sword in each massive hand. Below an unkempt mass of hair, his eyes are wide and wild, and his face is split with a maniacal grin. A small silver plaque is affixed near his bare feet.

In the Common language, it reads:
In recognition of the good citizens of Kharam-Dzu, who donated the materials to rebuild this historical statue of Hymirth Gertigson, warchief of the Ghost-Elk Tribe. Never bested in the ring of honor, his death at Maelshyve will be sung through the ages.

You tap your invar volcano pin and fiery red sparks and grey ash come out of the top!
You are fondly reminded of home.
