BACKSTORY:
​

Anastas' earliest memories are... confused. Sometimes he remembers very clearly a comfortable cottage in the country. Sometimes he remembers a house in the Landing, fire blazing in the hearth. Did he always live on the street? Were those dreams? He's always had his blue cloak. Its thin now. He hasn't always had the name Anastas. He sometimes has the feeling he has a life he's missing, like he slept in or lost his way when he was going to meet someone.

Sometime, he went to school, or something like it, for a year or two. He didn't mind it, but didn't think it was very useful. Probably that's when he started collecting things. Brightly colored pottery shards, little idols, greened copper trinkets, stones with holes worn in them. Old stuff. By the river, in the forest, in ruins away from the city. They're the treasures of his adventures.

Friends have come, and they have gone, and right now he is alone.
