FALL OF THE NORTHERN PASS
The legions of Ermor all flock into the Northern Pass. It should be a quiet Winter. The Sauromatians have been bloodied as have the Ermorian troops. Just before the first snows fall, a single creature enters the pass with hair twisting and squirming and with gigantic bat wings. This is the Sauromatian pretender! A gorgon of immense power.
The legions quickly assemble and advance of the Sauromatian abomination. But before the Ermorian troops can form line, the Sauromatian gorgon is amongst them. Scores of men are turned to stone and others succumb to poison. Not a single drop of the gorgon's blood is spilled and so, with terror in their hearts, the last of the Ermorian troops that hold the pass turn tail and run.
The Northern Pass has fallen and no Ermorian legionnaire is left on the Western side of the great river. One gateway remains to hold the Sauromatian troops from the fertile lands of Ermor. Somehow the Ermorians need to hold the river fords.
