Relic Shrine

Relic Shrine is a location within Kyrat in Far Cry 4. While shrouded in mystery, details of its arrival to the valley are made clear by an acolyte, one of the followers of yalung. In 1665 the acolytes brought it to the valley from an unknown location, and began revering it heavily. As they believed that it was a gift from the demon yalung, and that it could “awaken” them with it’s power. 
All over the shrine one may find the frozen, mummified bodies of the acolytes. Whom had gone into meditation, and began to “awaken”. Each of them in their own different stages of mutation. Some with giant masses of orange flesh on their shoulders,fur growth,ape-like faces, and some that have even become yetis, but had frozen before they could leave.
One acolyte has notes written in the shrine, and all over Hajura’Amako Hatama. Which details how he & his sectarian group came to the valley, and had begun to ingest the relic’s products, and practice their long form of meditation. In order to become “awakened”, and terrorize the valley as yetis.
A voice inside the shrine is constantly echoing. Uttering phrases such as “awaken! Your path is with us!” Whether that is the voice of a deceased acolyte, or a demonic entity is unknown, but nevertheless it is terrifying & paranormal. 
From the texts & ruins left behind it appears that the acolyte’s weren’t forcing the citizens already in the valley to become “awakened”. Yet some eventually did transform due to the relic spreading from the cave, and infecting various hot springs. Hence why Kamala’s father Rajesh had warned her to not drink the funny colored water.
