Then he started a new journey about 250 years ago, with a group of followers. They were not a loyal band of fierce warriors, not a troop of knights on pilgrimage. They were as varied as humanity under the sun - many races, many religions, men, women, children, the old. The learned, those possessors of scraps of ancient wisdom. The energetic. The dull. The sick. The dying and in some cases the dead. They were united in one respect - they wanted something different, something better, and believed that Drun could deliver this. So they walked, drove, rode and sailed together, in search of a homeland that didn't exist - yet.
