The Pillar of Kraggur

Six aspects are carved into the granite pillar.

The name “Kraggur” is carved into the base of the pillar as the first aspect, with “Kraggath-mag, Kreggath-mag, Kreggur-mag” cut underneath it.

Above the name is a raven circling a mountain peak, the sun rising high above it, forming the second aspect

The third aspect is the lunar symbol for the evening star. The carving is fairly primitive, but a more sophisticated image of a nightingale has been added, the evening star serving as its eye.

A blank spot has been left for the fourth aspect.

Fifth is an intricately carved open book, resting atop a pile of scrolls.

The sixth, and final aspect, is a raven, symbolized in three ways: first is a carving of a raven; second are holes drilled forming the constellation of the raven; third is the lunar sigil for the raven.
