Strange case of Joseph Vorin

A strange looking man was found walking the streets of Frankfurt Germany in 1851. He claimed his name was Joseph Vorin from the nation of Laxaria. The officials could barely communicate because Joseph Vorin spoke an odd para Germanic dialect that they could barely understand.

The odd manner of dress and strange dialect told the official that the man was foreign. More questioning produced the information that the country of Laxaria was on the continent of Sakria far away from Europe beyond vast oceans.

The fact that he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was confused as to his surroundings tells us he came from somewhere else, but where, a parallel earth? There is much more to this mystery.
