There was once 2 groups of individuals, these 2 groups were fighting for power in their country.
The citizens in the city did not side with any of the groups because the more power one group had, the higher the chance of their country having a downfall.
While all of that was going on there was one man who wanted to stop it,
He decided to take the problem head on which no other citizen has tried to do.
The 2 groups did not agree and they continued on the war which eventually got the man killed. They realised that a fight for power took a life of a man.
The citizens now praise him and the war rightfully ended shortly after, then, a statue was made of the hero, the legend.
