Both statues are basically the same quest, gathering books and returning them to one group or another (the students in Ardoris or Gina in Timberlands). If you give them to Gina first, the students will still accept them and you can have both, but if you give them to the students first, Gina won't.
Even though I am not a fan of modern items we forget that all us in the game world as outlanders came from earth in the present and were teleported here do to catastrophic event. That said what prevents earth possessions and knowledge from making it here through the same methods? just saying if you look at novia history the oracle brought many beings to novia.
@ng_dominic, SOTAwiki is a treasure trove of information...you can get answers to just about anything there. See these links for every detail about those quests (spoilers ahead!): https://sotawiki.net/sota/Student_of_Chaos https://sotawiki.net/sota/Students_of_Virtue Spoiler: One of the zones listed on the webpages above is not immediately obvious Novia_R1_Swamp02_Road = East Perennial Trail
Talk to the students in Ardoris first to get the list of books. Then when you set out to get the books try and grab two of them if you can. Some dont spawn right away. But true enough....talk to Gina first as she is chaos and if you do the students first she can smell the virtue of good on you and wont take the books.
