Location (Fictional)
Has memorial 17ft tall in total.
The lowest section 16ft square made of white sandstone
there are 3 steps up to the 12ft square 3ft tall dais with bas-relief white marble sculpture depicting military scenes with the obelisk centered on top.
Mahdist War - British Colonial War fought from 1881 - 1899 in Sudan (British + Egyptian vs Sudanese)
in the base are obvious poorly repaired gouges on only one side (perhaps from Hugh Tylesman's attack
obelisk is 11ft tall 2 feet wide, grey-black granite with 4 sides covered in heiroglyphs and apparently drinks liquids.
Text of heiroglyphs is prayers to Ka-Thigu-Ra with astronomical notations that Elise may have seen before.
Elise spots a dead pigeon that is slightly scorched.
Hugh Tylesman was President of the Bannicker Park memorial committee (and received a commendation from the Metropolitan Council) and presumably oversaw the placement of the base and obelisk.
House at that spot has been rebuilt and sold to new owners who never noticed anything weird about the obelisk.
