"Mère Batisourie"

Mère Batisourie Guides The Way to Freedom, located in Valjardin.

Mère Batisourie, or Mother Batisuria is the personification of the country. This symbol finds its origin in anti-colonial and anti-racist publications of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, which characterized the practices as defiling the purity and natural freedom of Mother Batisuria and her "children natural and adopted", in an attempt to solidify Togacien and indigenous populations in solidarity against minority rule and their historical and ongoing exploitation of both groups. Mère Batisourie is said to represent the nation's natural fertility and beauty, aspirations of peace, and quiet dignity. They are often depicted holding a torch or lantern, representing Batisuria's place as a "guiding light" to the rest of the Majulan continent in its struggle towards freedom.

The most famous monument to this expression of the national character is Mère Batisourie Guides The Way to Freedom, a monumental statue constructed atop Dedication Hill in Valjardin, the nation's capital. Excluding the pedestal, it is the largest statue of a woman in Majula, and the largest of any statue in Marensoald. The statue features on many forms of currency utilized across the nation, and is a popular symbol of the country abroad.
