Those daring enough to venture beyond village boundaries on misty nights spoke of an eccentric duo they met. Chumak – a towering, melancholic wagoner half covered in salt rot. A pariah among his own kin, he formed friendship with a spirit named Skarbnyk, or as the latter prefers to label it – a 'business relationship.' Skarbnyk saved Chumak and taught him how to halt the spread of the disease using ingredients from the spirit world. Since then, these two have been traveling together between realms, offering rare curiosities for sale.
While Chumak is a man of few words, Skarbnyk is always open for a good chat. But be prepared to discuss business if you want to keep the conversation going.
