The past is the past,
Long ago in a distant plane of existence.
The world suffered its equivalent of the Bronze Age Collapse, but instead of taking years, it took days.
Over night the mighty magical spires fell.
Vast communication networks ceased.
Walls that had withstood the test of war and time, crumbled over night.
And airships came crashing down.
Suddenly, the people of the high magic world found themselves in a dark age.
And age where they had few ways of surviving.
Many perished or were turned into slaves.
Others fled, and some founded civilizations and kingdoms that we might recognize today.
Few set out on their own, confident in their power that they can take what they want.
We do not remember their names for a reason.
Two sorceresses vying for power meet in the ruined amphitheater of a once great city.
Determined to prove to the other who is more powerful.
And kill or enslave the other.
We know nothing of the battle that took place, only that they were too evenly matched.
When they lost their enchanted staffs, they engaged in hand to hand combat.
And somehow, something, turned them into stone.
Could it have been an honorable third party?
Old and lost enchanted traps?
Mutual destruction?
What we do know however, is that no matter who tries, the statues can not be moved, or damaged.
So they are left there, as a local curiosity.
Scholars, researchers, and archaeologists have all come to study them.
None left with the answers they sought.
Which brings us to the present day.
With the Konvergence, the nearest town has seen a small boon from the tourism the statues bring, after everything calmed down from the happening.
Mayhaps, in these strange days, someone can find the answers to the statues?
Or break them from their stony prison?
