Upon entering the clearing leading to the swamp you run across a statue, upon closer inspection you see glyphs and markings at the base that seem to tell a story:
"From a young age he was destined for greatness
He hunted for many a moon, growing ever stronger and larger
Finally the villagers had enough
And though he fought
But even death was not to stop him
And in his anger summoned others
They had little warning
All Hail THa KING"
