Gonra fighting off hordes of Atlanteans before the Temple of the Scorpion God
Pre-Cataclysmic Age[]
19,500 BC[]
Circa 19,500 BC,[4] Gonra of the Sword, an ancient Valusian hero,[5] wielded a sword forged by a priest or a sorcerer, and fired upon by fire of Heaven and by Valusia's Scorpion God himself.
One day, hordes of savage Atlanteans decided to destroy Valusia's Scorpion God. Gonra faced the hordes, and eventually fell to the Atlanteans but saved the Temple of the Scorpion[6] and Valusia as a whole.[7]
Age of Kull (18,500 BC)[]
Circa 18,500 BC, the Scorpion God was one of the gods of Valusia, near-forgotten and his temple falling into ruins.
Dondal, "Scorpion", had King Kull captured and brought there to be killed by Verulian soldier led by Lord Phondar of Verulia. Dondal also tried to steal a precious stone on top of an idol of the Scorpion God in a sacred ancient tomb of his temple. The Scorpion God seemingly manifested as a scorpion, stinging Dondal (who was surprised as no scorpion had walked in Valusia in a thousand years.[2]Attributes
Powers
The Scorpion God could manifest as a normal-sized poisonous scorpion.[2]
