As a stocky Thessalian merchant from Farsalos arrives in a small town seeking shelter, he is led to a building where he is welcomed by a servant-like elderly man. After Kloppas introduces himself, he finds it strange that the old man does not tell him his own name. Still, Kloppas brushes off a dark foreboding feeling and settles in to listen to the mans tales about his clan, tribe, and the wars that sometimes break out in his land. It is not long before Kloppas learns the mans nameAnaxarhosand of incredible times gone by.
