This also puts me in mind of the Unfinished Tales story of the watchstones made by the Drúedain. There are hints that these statues, made in image of one of their race crouching upon a slain orc, could be communicative and were able to actively keep watch and not merely serve as ward and warning. If the story of The Faithful Stone can be taken at face value, then they were also capable of crafting statues that could do much more.
"I like the kind of literary criticism that tries very hard to understand what the author is saying. I despise the kind that cares only about how the reader responds to it. The first requires a great deal of hard scholarship, ultimately as much as had the writer. The second can be practiced by anyone with a navel into which to gaze."
