Denizens of the Tower! In Blade of the Stone Giant, a group of brave characters are hired to investigate the source of recent climate changes that have ravaged the region just before the Winter Solstice Holiday. A strange heat source in the Verdant Falls has caused the unexpected shifting of temperatures in the area. The culprit is an ancient artifact of giant origin that has awoken in an uncharted shrine behind the veil of the thawed waterfall.

Denizens of the Tower! In The Valthorne's Wish, the local authorities hire the up-and-coming characters to track undead monsters back to an unmarked mausoleum in Ebonwood Cemetery. Strangely enough, the tomb from whence the undead came is not only unmarked but there is no written record or memory of who is interred there. The locals can offer no useful information about the crypt except that it appears to have been erased from everyone's memories.

This is the sketch of a dungeon I'm currently working on. The top left corner has a chapel-like room with a statue. I want to illustrate a new statue asset and it's up for grabs.
Can you suggest what this statue is about? in case of something out of the ordinary and lore idea to justify it would be awesome too!

In the Great Hall of Containment, the characters are hired by a powerful magister to teleport to a forlorn location known as the Hall of Containment. It is a strange, vault-like extraplanar location that contains a prison for evil souls and living spells. It was sealed ages ago but the enchantments that keep its contents at bay have worn out. The characters must explore the vault, find a way to access its innermost sanctum and bring balance back so it is stable again.
