The Michaelmas Treaty and Celebration

After returning from his trip to San Kastel, The Crown King called a meeting with Gorang, leader of the Bear Claw Clan. They met before the annual Michaelmas celebration and agree to a peace treaty between their people. The King then offered Gorang free reign over all others in the realm under the protection of the Crown. With this new treaty, the King hopes that the Bear Claw Clan can weaken the new factions without risking his own men.
After the treaty was signed, the celebration kicked into high gear. The Crown men enjoyed the entertainment, although it seemed a bit foolish and wasteful to Gorang and his advisor.
For those who do not know this holiday, which included me until a few days ago, here is the description from MedievalTimesNet.com: Michaelmas or Feast of St. Michael the Archangel occurs on September 29th this feast was held at the end of the harvest and agricultural season. It is also the day on which all rents, monies owed and accounts outstanding were paid. At this feast there are the appearances of the "horn dancers" which were a troupe of men wearing or carrying sets of deer antlers who would dance accompanied by drums and pipes. This tradition traces back to the ancient custom of celebrating the hunt.
Enjoy!
) no lego deer. I also love how out of of place Gorang and his second look, its just silly seeing two shirtless barbarians in the midst of an ultre frivolous celebration

Do the four faces have any corespondance to the four statues?
