Mt. Mabinogio Ruins, cliffside section.
One has to wonder how such an area is originally supposed to be accessed; the only thing leading down to it is a trail of vine on the rightmost section; the leftmost leads to a dead end. The bas-relief of the Shepherd makes me wonder if it’s perhaps an altar? Well, perhaps not exactly altar, but the fact that there are steps leading up to it does make me wonder about its use in general. There is definitely Shepherd “worship” going on here, considering the opening cutscenes and the assortment of murals of various Shepherds within it, but that is definitely subject for another post.
