The town official is looking for you! It seems that he has something he wants to talk to you about the statues of Rapa Nui. You spoke a long time with the town official about your Rapa Nui investigation before, right? The town official seems to be somewhat obsessed with that island right now... Well, if you have some free time why not give him a listen?

I'm actually still putting a report together concerning that island , as best I can. Those statues are called Moai, which apparently means "to live the future". From this meaning I believed they were made either for the glory of their descendents or in worship of their departed ancestors, but I still didn't understand what those statues represented or why they were carved.
A number of different people live on the island, each at odds with the others. It appears that those in control of the island ordered those under their control to make the Moai, but a large scale revolt was staged and many of the statues were toppled. That's what i found strange. What was the significance of tearing down the statues?
Perhaps it was simply anger, but I had another idea. That perhaps they were attempting to throw off the shackles of their oppressors by tearing down the statues. If the Moai are physical representations of the gods or spirits that the people believe in, and the source of their power, then destroying them would be an effective way to weaken that power.
...However, that is all just personal supposition. I want you to go to the island again and investigate further exactly what the Moai are. My theories are all starting to make sense... maybe I should become a scholar full time?
...Many of the Moai were knocked down onto their faces. Some were lying face up but with white stones scattered around them. What could that signify...? There were both large and small chunks of stone, and from their rough surface I believe they were fragments of something else...
...After investigating the face-down Moai, I glimpsed numerous islanders on my way back here. They fled as soon as they saw me. Was it me they were scared of? Or could it have been the white stones that I found scattered around the face-down Moai, some of which I carried back with me?
...There is a face-down Moai in that direction. Beneath its massive bulk, as though hidden, I found an elliptical arrangement of white stones with a circular red stone buried in the middle. An eye perhaps...? It was warm to the touch, but as soon as I did so it crumbled away. Just what was it made from?
...At the spot with the eye-like stone, an islander whom I presume to be some sort of chieftain got very angry with me. Perhaps that was something that outsiders are not allowed to touch... Or maybe his anger was due to the stone being destroyed. I'm becoming more and more convinced that the stone was a Moai eye.
...Do the spirits on the island dwell within the eyes of the Moai? Many of the statues face toward the interior of the island. It would make sense that this is to be concentrate the power of the spirits within their eyes. Then the oppressed people knocked the statues over, removed their eyes and even smashed some of them up in order to weaken their power and defeat their oppressors.
The town official was not entirely off the mark. The Moai are indeed the source of elemental power, with the power of elementals infused in their eyes. However, the islanders don't look favorably on outsiders investigating their island. It would be nice to carry some of the stones back but simply touching them can cause the to crumble, so just finish the investigation as soon as possible.

Mana is the power of god and spirits. This stone has an incredibly strong aura of mana. So powerful that the islanders avoid talking about it. The stone is a little warm to the touch, and easily crumbles where it is touched. Perhaps it is a harbinger of another existence.
