__Rare Greckoan Garden Statues from Stone Island__

The only remaining "artifacts" of this long lost culture are the exquisite Stone Carvings, still in pristine condition, like unmoving-silent sentries, guarding the infamous Stone Island. Only a few brave Polytopians have ventured to this isolated rock; jutting out of the Ocean desolate and foreboding. Most have not returned from this treacherous journey but the few that have and the even fewer that have with a prized Marble Statue return forever changed, for both the better and worse. For many think the island is cursed and home to horrendous creatures. To show their wealth Luxidoor elites decorate their elaborate gardens with these rare sculptures. The allure and promise of fame and fortune to any who can obtain a Stone Island Statue keeps the intrigue alive in many adventurers: what were these Rock Figures for, who carved them and why and what are they guarding?

__Concept__

The Greckoans were thought to be an extinct culture and are based on geckos and Greek myth. They are Lizard Peoples. They worship the Medusi, who reside in their Stone Temples high up in the Mountains. The Greckoans believe it's a great honour to offer yourself to their rituals. The Stone Statues are petrified Greckoans, the Medusi turned them all to stone. But now that more and more Polytopians are coming to Stone Island, the Medusi have "awakened" the petrified Greckoans to help fight off these invaders.
