Cathartes Effigy

The Cathartes Effigy is a a large statue of a vulture located in Yimmu-Audal. It was built by the player TylenolJunkie over the course of 3 days.
== Geography ==
The Cathartes Effigy is located upon a hill near a currently unclaimed town in the Duchy of Audal in Yimmu-Audal. The vulture overlooks the road that leads into the nearby town.
== Construction ==
Construction of the Cathartes Effigy began on October 23rd, 2021, at 1:58 AM, GMT-3. The process began with the construction of the vulture's legs and torso. TylenolJunkie repeatedly had to cease construction to gather and smelt sandstone, which he retrieved from a nearby cave, which expanded dramatically in size due to the amount of sandstone he harvested from it. Mining and construction would continue daily over the following 3 days until the completion of the statue on October 26th, at approximately 8:54 PM
Upon completing the construction of the vulture, TylenolJunkie attempted to fill it's hollow interior with sandstone to render it more resistant to any potential griefing. He lacked the motivation to complete this task, and decided to leave the vulture partially hollow for the time being.
=== Architecture ===
The vulture was built in the standing position due to that being the orientation of the 3D vulture model TylenolJunkie used as a reference. The vulture stands at a height of 50 blocks, with it's feet touching the ground at Y=88, and the top of it's head sitting at Y=138
== Significance ==
The Cathartes Effigy holds no religious significance as to not conflict with any of Yimmu-Audal's religious customs. The effigy's builder, TylenolJunkie does not subscribe to any religion in Rathnir, and thus had no intent to use the effigy as a holy site. The land surrounding the vulture also remains unclaimed as TylenolJunkie did not want to squat in Yimmu-Audal's territory.
