Ashera

Ashera is the goddess of order in the game Fire Emblem. Her counterpart is Yune (pronounced "YOO-nay"), the goddess of chaos and freedom. Early in history, Ashera makes a covenant with mankind: she will let mankind live if they did not have war for a thousand years. In the meantime, Ashera would enter a thousand year sleep. She is woken after 243 years by Sephiran, the one to whom the covenant was made. To punish mankind for not keeping their covenant, she turns nearly every single human into stone, except for the few that had some kind of virtue in their hearts (the protagonists).
