Statue to Roen Solicix in The Market District

A masterwork marble statue entitled: The Breaker of Shadows
The stone likeness of Roen Solicix is a marvelous likeness of the tall man. It wears a serious look on its face, and its stone eyes seem to see through anyone who steps within their gaze. One hand rests lightly on the hilt of a sheathed sword; the other holds a bundle of scrolls.

— erected by Duke Edmund Calder of Kingdom of Caligus

Statue to Edmund Calder in The Palaces District

A large granite statue of Edmund Calder stands regally upon a column, easily recognized by his less than average height and broad muscled frame. In his hands is his mighty broadsword, the tip embedded in the stone before him. His bushy beard and signature bear fur coat are expertly carved to appear soft enough to move in the breeze. Although his features are stoic, laugh lines are evident near his gentle eyes.
A bronze plaque is at eye level:
Edmund Calder, Champion of Ainanism
In Shadowdale, he held titles such as Shadow King, Grey Exarch, Tormentor, Cauldron Master, Royal Duke and Margrave
