Common Knowledge
Long ago, before the founding of the Republic, there was a small agrarian village that did quite well. Legend says that the village used magic like water to increase their crops 10 thousand fold. And that starvation, fever and hunger never once touched the populace for a generation.
Then, one day, the mage that had made all this possible asked for help and was refused. The mage grew angry and threatened the people with the removal of his magics. So the populace rose up and burt him and his tower to the ground. With his dying breath he yelled out a curse that turned every one and every animal within the walls of the village to stone.
The moral of this story is - when a mage asks for help, you give it. Willingly, less he die and remember your name.
GM Lore
The stones are pale grey and with the right refection there appears to be a shadow of darker stone in the lighter material. If the legend is true, there should be one or two individuals in the stone who can speak through mediums or at least set off people's sensitivity. Perhaps one of these gifted individuals can tell the adventurers what they need to know.
If the story is false, there is something in the region that is making sensitive people wary of the place. It may be restless ghosts, or other creatures not quite of this place.
