The Stolen Arm of Shiva
Legend contributed by: Bob Maibaum
Deep in the jungle of Southeast Asia lie the ruins of Angkor, the
capital city of the greatest king of ancient Cambodia, King
Suryavarman. He had a stable of over two hundred thousand war
elephants, whose footprints are still visible at the ancient gates of
the city. His own elephant’s tusks were covered with gold. He wore a
royal garment woven in patterns that only he was allowed to wear, a
crown, golden bracelets and rings, and several pounds of pearls around
his neck. In the early 1100s, Suryavarman began building a great temple
called Angkor Wat, still the largest religious building in the world.
Legend has it that he decorated the temple with a special statue of
Shiva, built with arms carved of ivory. After the fall of the Cambodian
empire, looters stole the arms of Shiva and after centuries, they found
their way to the temple. Your quest is to find one of the arms of Shiva
and bring it back here!

Thank you Olmec! Where is the stolen arm?

The Arm of Shiva can be found in the Bamboo Swamp*
