Is there any more mysterious and wonderous island in this world? Here stand statues, Moai, who gaze either inward toward the center of the island in quiet contemplation, or outward toward the surrounding sea with fierce grimaces, protecting that which they own by birthright.

Most believe they were carved by their own descendants to represent the great chieftains of this warrior nation, their mana, their life force, their continued existence after death.
