General Kaltarion himself wrested the great golden staff of power from the inner sanctum of the Temple at Tengora.
Then, pursued ever more closely by the hideous Gorgon, the General and his men fled across the desert.
None dared look back until the Gorgon overtook and overwhelmed centurion Pelor. His final scream was cut short yet so terrible that all the command instinctively looked back....
And there they stand today, turned to stone or so the villagers say.
