The Vetruvian sand in.
Should consist of various themes regarding Egypt, Ancient Aliens, Stone Henge, and other similar popular ancient civilizations / conspiracies. Traditional Golems, both mystical and mechanical. Immortal long dormant beings often mistaken for gods and or literal gods.
Focus is on unique value generating structures (oblysks/sand tiles), powerful but slow things, and mind affecting abilities. Ideally both mechanically and lore wise.
Remember for now we really want to focus on copying most of the core mechanics, so rather than dreaming up new cards, we should be focused on completely re-skinning existing ones. Please leave feedback for the faction direction, and ideas for names/art of a re-skinned card.

Location:"The land was fully covered in sand.It appeared inhospitable.But this desert did contain some life.In my journey I've seen quite the variety of critters(even though life was rare):some were small ,some were very large;some were cute,others were terrifying."
Civilization:"While my description of the land may have made it seem wild or desolate,the desert contains many signs of an active civilization. Great pillars with an unknown purpose rise from the sandy ground(they almost seem Alive),strange buildings decorate this sand covered land. One can even find people here(Not the normal kind of people...)"
People:"The people of this desert seem to lack any biological component.They appear very mechanical but some seem to be made of pure sand.
I've yet to attempt interacting with these strange beings.
There are historical records of these people of the desert(But those records say they have always been there,they have always been this strange)"

Dune King(general) Lore:" As I explored the vast dunes I came across a figure who appears to be a member of this ancient civilization.From the fancy design of his metal body and his commanding movements I theorize he is a leader.He seems to be able to summon beings of sand(they have a humanoid shape and a face consisting of one big EYE).I attempted to communicate with this 'dune king' but he replied with a strange greeting gesture.I assumed there was a language barrier until he said:Stranger,I suggest leaving me alone.I am busy right now. So I left.Then,from a distance,I further observed this odd individual.The 'Dune King's' sand minions seem to be building a new structure under his command."

New unnamed character(The monster hunter of the desert) Lore: "After my royal encounter I decided to continue my desert exploration.In the distance,I spotted another on of those metal people being attacked by a giant beast of the desert.I turned away and moved on(I did not wish to see how that monster kills its prey).Then,suddenly,out of the sand comes another one of those desert beasts.I screamed in fear.Then....that mechanical being appeared and killed the vicious beast.How did she(I think it was a she) survived that monster (well she did kill this one)?As I stood in awe she said: You should be more careful...How can I thank you?By leaving this desertBut...my research...You can return ... when you are ready to face the horrors of the desert,my dear fleshy entityThen she left(with her angry orange eyes,her big spear,and her head-tubes?)and so did I.My research will continue when I acquire anti-monster defenses."

Here's some lore I wrote for a character in this faction. She could be the stand-in for Sajj, or play some other role, it doesn't matter a whole lot to me.  Sketch will be posted sometime later. Everyone in the court knew when Rasda was not to be disturbed, because smoke would rise from the small golden tubes glittering behind her ears. The smoke smelled spicy-sweet and played about the princess's head like ghost versions of her thick black braids. Rasda had purposely designed her crown that way. People called her the eccentric princess.
The king for the most part let his daughter have her way because he was busy all the time with negotiations and war efforts. Like many other kings' daughters, Rasda would probably eventually have been married off for political reasons anyway. And if she was unfortunate enough to be like her mother, she'd die of complications related to childbirth.
Complications. That was the word the doctors used.
Rasda didn't like to think about anything too complicated. She spent long hours contemplating how carriage wheels were made, why flowers had such geometry in them, why smoke formed little spirals when drifting skyward. She also thought about death a lot. She wondered what it would be like if the world suddenly came to an end.
And then it did come to an end, in a way, when she stumbled into the Rift.
After the Rift, the palace and the garden and the yard where the mechanics worked - all of that became like a dream. And Rasda found herself in the position of creator, for once. In charge of her own destiny, whatever that meant.
It was scary. And it was exhilarating. |

The second journey:" I am yet again exploring the vast desert(this time I have more armor).The desert seems quiet.Perhaps I didn't need the armor after (AHHHHH!)...(regaining consciousness...)I guess I did need the armor...W...where am I?
Chronotix.(Said a strange figure)
What?...Who are you.
Chronotix is the land of my people.I am just sandbound caretaker(This individual has a similar face to other people I encountered here(Even if it looks a little broken)but it's body looks to be a sandstorm)
What is a sandbound?
Those are my people.Being of sand.We have appeared on this land when our overlords decided to take advantage of the vast amounts of sand they had.
Your face reminds me of the non sand based people I met here.
Some sandbound(Including myself)choose to wear the discarded ornaments of our overlords in order to better fit in with them.Some of them are not very fond of our kind,they associate us with how things are now,not how they were in the 'old days'(even if most of them don't even know how the old days were).
Anything else you can tell me about you and the sandbound?
The sandbound?Many are just mindless slaves.Others,such as myself,are fully thinking members of society.As for myself?I'm a caretaker.I make sure that the other sandbound are well.Look!(He says pointing at one of those eyed towers)See the sandstorms over there(such beautiful creatures)?They don't last(He says as one of them returns to the sand.Then he goes to another sandstorm and performs some hard to describe actions which cause it to grow)With proper care,they can last.Such beut...(then a giant sand worm came and ate the sandstorm,then it collapsed(perhaps eating a sandstorm isn't the best idea))eh....Some things aren't meant to last.
Will you at least be able to eat the worms meat?
Yes and no...we will first need to convert the meat into fuel that our non-biological bodies can use.
With that out of the way,I continue my desert adventure."

For this I have a pretty Straight forward opinion
Go to Universe League of Legends
Look For Shurima
Theres a lot of things like Azir and his arena soldiers, or the representations of popular animals related to egyptian mythology and other things
Also, a giant sand worm should be a Nice idea
