After the party crossed 70 miles in one and half days, Zinobia advised to make another neccessary camp for rest and noon meal. He mentioned that he want to gather party and to tell the story about him, his tribe, party destination and their mission.
When the camp was set and meal was ready, everyone gathered in the circle and Zinobia started to tell his story.
His tone was trembling at times. Sometimes he dived into details, colorful, vivid and violent.
Lately known as Lone Wolf of Jagged Wastes - that how he been called in Yosh-Ul, he was solitary numenera expert and hunter.
His tribe, once big, were living at edges of Jagged Wastes.
One day he, his son, daughter and two younger cousins were at hunt. When they returned to their tribe's camp they found big crater and smoke as remnants of huge explosion in it's place. That was shocking experience - everyone was dead, burned alive in mysterious explosion. In sorrow of huge loss like that, without a clue about origins of this explosion, they moved to Yosh-Ul, to unite with other tribes under Vona's patronage, where they established themselves as numenera seekers and traders.
The family worked together, young daughter maintained cypher tent at Yosh-Ul, and males been hunting in area.
Once his son, Zamaai, encountered some strange man who appeared from nowhere, in the air above the hunting party, and felt just in front of them. After his fall he lived for few minutes, and in that time he, spewing blood, called himself "Breacher" and gave some strange numenera piece to Zamaai - Octagon Shaped oddity, which was some kind of compass, leading to some place. The man was shortly dead, but new numenera was new mystery in hands of Da-Zaan, and tribe wanted to know what it reveals.
They took it, gathered their male hunting party, leaving sister to oversee trade in Yosh-Ul, and moved onwards, following indication of the compass, taking some Shazi people with them, since they did not wanted to go there alone and required more people to survive and combat hazards on their long way.
When they arrived, three younger Da-Zaans, including his son, gone to scout into the cave. They came soon, telling that there is some kind of big numenera with entrance.
Zinobia suggested that youngsters should scout further inside, while he will remain with Shazi people, who needed to threat their wounded men, and as assurance that Da-Zaan wont leave Shazi and wont escape with all numenera without sharing it.
Youngsters left the compass oddity to the Zinobia, and he stayed at camp.
Youngsters did not came back. Shazi people patience was over as few days of waiting passed, and they demanded their share and payment for their wounds and time, but yougnsters didn't came. In anger talk weapons been drawn, and angered Shazi attacked Zinobia. Being trained lone wolf, he skilfully killed all the Shazi people at the camp, took the compass and returned to Yosh-Ul to heal his wounds, and prepare himself for new quest : to find the youngsters. He went to Vona's temple, and Seers of Vona said that they sense his son and more of his tribe alive. Alive but far. Far, somewhere in The Ninth World. His hope to find youngsters was the main reason of his life for now and he was obsessed by it.
So that was a reason, and mission he hired the party for. He needed someone to help him to find his son and cousins. Vona Seers were sure that they are alive. He promized that any numenera, found in their expedition will belong to the hired party, and he will pay very handsomely at Yosh-Ul when they will return with his son. In addition his daughter will pay, and Da-Zaan tents will be home for the party members for span of eternity. He also mentioned that there is some big numenera and probably alot of cyphers and may be artifacts could be found.
