Scions of the Sands

The Scions of the Sands represent Carter’s expeditionary team, despatched by Queen Elspeth to covertly search for a link between a lost Engine Node and the mysteries of Ancient Egypt. The Scions are made up of Victorian-era explorers and Bedouin archaeological workers, mixed with Ancient Egyptian beings animated and brought to life by the will of The Engine!

Carter is accompanied by such Characters as the capable adventurer Indigo Ford, hired for her practical know-how and proficiency with whip and pistol in a scrap; the wastrel Horace, wayward son of wealthy Lord Cyrus De Havilland, escaping a trail of shame and debauchery left home in London; and respected author and diarist Agatha Marple with her Gentlefolk servant Hercule who are tasked with recording the expedition’s exploits and keeping the eclectic band in check.
