Sand, the Prophet, is a Samarkandian prophet and one of the playable heroes in Fable Fortune.

In-Game Short Bio[]

At the very edge of death, Sand found a lost city in the desert. The technology within bestowed incredible power, and a sudden purpose - and he'd very much like take a moment of your time to share some fantastically good news...

In-Game Long Description[]

Once, Sand was a trader, with a caravan of goods stretching along Samarkand's Great Trade Road. Then the bandits came, bringing fire, blood, and terror.

Seeking refuge in a cave, he stumbled upon the magnificent remains of a forgotten city. Falling to his knees in wonder, his fingers brushed against a staff, and his mind was flooded with memories of a city of impossible technology: a city that was forgotten, but must now be remembered.

Sand awoke to find that the strange technology and even the fierce desert sands now answer his call. The lost city is awake, and he has been chosen as its prophet. All he needs are true believers to make the city great again, so he sets out into the desert to find them and to lead them back...

Background[]

In quieter moments, Sand could remember a time when he was a trader, a successful trader, with a different name. His caravan of goods would stretch a full mile along Samarkand's Great Trade Road – and he would sit in pampered luxury at the head of it, utterly content, and utterly complacent.

Then the bandits came. There had been fire, confusion, blood (an awful lot of that), and then running – a desperate, constant, terror-fuelled flight into the desert, as one by one his companions fell to arrows at his side.

Sand's lungs burned and exploded in his chest from the sudden exertion, but his arrow never came – when he finally collapsed through exhaustion, he found himself alone, agonizingly thirsty, and desperately cold as the desert night began to draw in. It was to be the first of many.

Somewhere in that endless procession, at the very limits of Sand's exhaustion, there had been a series of strange old obsidian monuments, and a cave beneath them that led to a magnificently desolate forgotten city. Convinced he had finally gone insane, he collapsed to the impossibly smooth floor for what he was sure was to be the last time. As he fell, his fingers brushed against an object, a staff – he dimly recalled a burst of unearthly light, a flood of memories that were not his own:

A city of impossible technology, a city guarded by stone giants, a city that once commanded the sand to part for it, a city that stood timeless for generations, a city that fell, a city that was buried, a city that was forgotten.

A city that must be remembered.

He awoke to find the staff still clutched in his hand, and the unmistakable grinding of stone on stone from all sides. The city was waking, and Sand understood it had chosen him as the one true prophet to make it great again, granting him the power to command its long forgotten technology.

A full year later, a very different man took his first steps into the land of Albion. The great stone guardians of the desert city followed in his steps; the fierce desert sands now answered his call, and even time itself could bend to his indomitable will.

He needed true believers to make the city great again, he would find them, he would show them the power he had discovered, and he would lead them back to the desert...

Sand's Heroic Tale[]

Chapter 1: Shifting Sands  []

Clutching the mysterious staff that he found amidst the ruined wonder of the lost city, Sand steps back out into the desert.

Though filled with ancient memories and a great purpose, he must first learn how to harness the mighty power that stirs within him.. .

Chapter 2: Just Deserts[]

As the dust settles, Sand sets out towards Albion,confident in his new abilities and determined to find new followers among the people there.

As he nears the outer reaches of this green and pleasant land, a gang of bandits see an opportunity to pounce on a seemingly undefended old man with a valuable-looking staff.  

They're about to get the surprise of their life..

Chapter 3: Unwanted Attention[]

Leaving the baffled and battered bandits behind, Sand sets out for civilisation. Soon, he arrives at a thriving metropolis of the weak-willed and the wide-eyed, ripe for conversion to his righteous cause.

But making it big in the city proves harder than he thought. His preaching attracts the attention of the local cults, and they set out to silence this new threat to their flock...

Chapter 4: A Fighting Chance[]

Sand fends off his attackers, to the amazement of a crowd of onlookers, but is then quickly collared by the Sheriff. The charge? Disturbing the peace.

Chapter 5: Out Of The Frying Pan[]

Sand leaves the prison guards, having earned his freedom (and a small pile of gold) against all odds. A cheering crowd awaits him outside the gates!... Except they're not cheering - they're chanting and waving pitchforks. That can't be good.  

‘Get outta here! You and your fancy technology is gonna put us out of work!’

Yelling and stamping, the luddite mob pursues Sand into the forest outside of town..

Chapter 6: Strictly Business[]

With a few choice words and a formidable show of mystical power, Sand quells the raging crowd and earns their faith. These will be his first true followers- the first of many.

But who stirred up trouble in the first place? Sand questions the peasants, and traces their fury back to a man they call Reaver - a renowned businessman with every reason to stand against Sands threat to his industrial empire. A confrontation seems inevitable...
