It was first written in the Genertela Book p34 and repeated as most recently as the HQ rulebook p224. At the RQ-Con 2, Greg outlined what had happened to him:
GS: Well, nobody exactly knows. <sigh> But, yes.
The Pharoah had a routine ritual that he was used to
going through, and the Lunars loaded it against him.
There's one stage where the Pharoah had to negotiate
with the Men in Red to cross the river. He knows,
from all the stories he's done, that he has to give
them each a gold coin from a foreign land. And _this_
time, the Men in Red are all Lunar agents with their
own agenda. And they say, "This has to be a gold
coin from the Realm of Khordavu!" And suddenly the
myth doesn't work for the Pharoah, and the Men
in Red say, "You don't know the end of this story, do
you? Well, we do!" <mimes drawing a sword> And
they grabbed the Pharoah, and cut him up into his
Portions, just like the Red Goddess had been, and
hid them scattered throughout the universes."
