The Man in Mattarbodum

In September 2023 a foreign man in his thirties was found deep in the forest outside Mattarbodum, far from the nearest road or settlement, wearing only his underwear. He was alive but could not explain how he had come to be there. The circumstances were reported as a mystery: no vehicle nearby, no clear route through the trees, no reason for him to have walked so far into the empty land. The forest does not record who passes through it, and the man did not say.
