In the heart of the suburbs of the city of Bonta, in the neighbourhood where taverns and small craft shops of all kinds flourish, is Kerub Crispin’s bazaar. It is in this antique shop that the old Ecaflip raises Joris, his young adopted son. The shop is a veritable cavern of wonders, where the child can find a thousand and one "treasures": weapons, amulets, artifacts; some ornamental, some precious and even some that are magic.
