Valgrun heard about him since the time of his father.
His father once spoke to him about an Ashana that roams around the west and near the border.
He does not have permanent dwellings but when he does stay at the west, he would stay there for ten years before going away.
The reason why his father believed that the Ashana Zad live that long is because his father before him had also met Ashana Zad.
In other words, his grandfather had also met Zad.
And his grandfather father also met Zad. Around four generations of the Khagai chief had seen this Ashana.
And later, when his father met Ashana Zad, his father was surprised that after almost forty years there is not much change about the Ashana.
No wrinkles that is too much, no weakness that is evident
Yes, Ashana Zad looks a bit older than the Ashana Zad in his memory but other than that, he does not look like a hundred years old man.
