Legend 7 - The Mithril Statue of Willston

Legend 7: The Mithril Status of Willston 
In the days of the Elven Empire, a settlement was established at Willston 
to provide a military base in the North East. The natural defence offered 
by the penninsula proved attractive and Elven Engineers soon built what 
would become known as the citadel. Near the citadel was an earthen mound 
obviously artificial and Clasn'un the Elven Historian was granted permission
to excavate.
What he found was a chamber within the mound, but not a tomb as he was 
expecting but simply a round chamber of great antiquity. In the centre of
the chamber was a statue of an armoured being, the statue appeared to be made of pure mithril, apart from the right hand which was unarmoured and crafted from granite.
All of the workmanship was exquisite, although the race of the being depicted
could not be ascertained. All who viewed it, even Centaurs, believed it to
be a representation of their race.
The hill was totally removed and the statue exposed for all to see, appreciative
of the beauty and craftsmanship the Empire opted to preserve the statue despite
its' obvious value if melted down. An attempt was made to relocate it, but
even Elven magic was unable to move it. The statue became a site of pilgimage
for both Elves and native occupants, everyone who way it believed it held
particular relevance to their own situation and beliefs.
As the wars on the island grew in ferocity, visitors to the statue dwindled and
barracks were erected in the vicinity of the statue.
Then the Elves departed the shores of the North Island and the time of Chaos was
upon the lands....from that time, no record of the statue has come to light.
