Rumors abound, however, of something of value hidden away within the statue itself, and this is where our party came in. Feeling that these rumors likely were based at least somewhat in fact, our intrepid adventurers decided that they should scale The Penitent and try to find a way in. However, a [[The Mountain That Devours|Tyrant Lizard]] traipsing through town tends to attract some attention, and our party soon found themselves being accosted by a group of Terrestrial Exalts at about the statue's somewhat ample midsection. Thus ensued the [[Battle of the Bulge]]. | Rumors abound, however, of something of value hidden away within the statue itself, and this is where our party came in.

Most important of the discoveries was this. [[Duricorre]] was tasked with meditating in the room to attempt to discover its function. What he found was that the purpose of The Penitent seemed to be to keep track of all of the South's Geomancy. This included uncapped Demesnes, Freeholds, and the like. Of course, more important than that even was that The Penitent could, in some way, affect all of this. As of yet, Duricorre has not shared any of this information with the rest of the party. | Most important of the discoveries was this.
