You know, M&A have never put up an info section on the Twin Gods like they have the other Forest Landmarks. It would be wonderful to see where they got the inspiration for their design and such from.
Another nice screenshot I really like the stuff you do Honou.
And Deyna, I was wondering that a few years ago and someone gave me a really interesting answer that might or might not be what M&A had thought of. I went and dug it up just now for you... The player was named IoRez and she told me, "the Twin God statues resembling the Omo Dei (Latin for "man (is) of God) - the representation of a god beholding itself (reference from Dante Aligheri's Inferno), and a medieval notion of God's signature on man. Representative of duality, the Omo Dei also implies the seeking of the center. The two faces regarding one another is a symbol of introspection and inner divinity. When viewed at once, the two faces appear to actually be two halves of the same face. This is a common theme amongst twinned/paired statues in the Far East, often a set of lions or dragons." And she gave this link.
