Since the statues are cyclopean, it got me to thinking about some of the cavern artwork I've noticed, and I think I've seen something in some cavern that might be intended to represent some sort of one-eyed being, but I didn't get a screenshot, apparently.

Regardless, the mystery of the statues on the Eastern Island and these on the Pineapples Island remains unsolved. Who were the mysterious folk who carved these statues, and what happened to them? Were they one-eyed people, or was their pantheon one-eyed? If the people themselves were one-eyed, why have we never encountered them --- or have we? Those cyclops opponents in Redwood Gap seem to be rather primitive (dressed in breechclouts and fighting with clubs), so if their ancestors were the creators of the statues on the Eastern Island, what happened to plunge them into such a primitive lifestyle? Was it a result of Turmanar? Then again, people with such "primitive" technological status may have excellent stoneworking abilities, so maybe it was them. But if so, why did their people abandon the Eastern Island (and the Pineapples Island)? If their ancestors were not the source of the statues on the two islands, who were the people who made those statues?
