1: The Temple of Turhan is a monolithic stone structure carved from black stone and partially buried in volcanic ash at the foot of the Volcano. It consists of a floor above two feet of stone, with columns supporting the stone roof. It contains a giant statue depicting a naked, bearded, muscled man of Gold holding a Trident. This is an Immortal known to the locals as Turhan. Anyone attempting to touch, vandalize, or loot the statue of its gold is teleported into Nekron's Maze (area 2). Once the Altar in area 26 is destroyed, the 400gp gold that coats the Statue may be peeled off.
