Three years ago Kogar was a shepherd. Right until the day he got lost in a blizzard. He wandered through blinding snow and ice until he collapsed. The cold had sapped his strength, though it certainly took longer than it might have for most.
His vision blurred and when it returned he faced three women. They took his wits from him and told him that the only way to find them again would be to follow a road that started in Heldren. He blacked out and awoke a good while later, feeling refreshed. He followed a white raven all the way to Heldren and has waited for his sign since.
The simpleton has stayed in the town for years waiting for the sign that would point to this road.
