History
Equis served the expedition as spy, knower of the passes, the local language and the Egyptian political frame. The group included Samsara, priestess of Ishtar of Babylon (who later carried the dark seed of the white dragon), Shagrath, Sigla, Archiemonde, Berian and Tsuki, a feminist Egyptian spy.
In the mountain they found a giant in a hut, Homo erectus inhabitants, an ice mage, a white dragon, and the cloak of Neorex’s former lover. The mission failed, and Samsara was captured by the forces of Graz’zt (Neorex). In a later line — the crossing of Mediterraneum with a possible return to hell — Equis reappears beside Samsara as an old inhabitant of the world.
