Birac

Biarc is a natural stronghold in the southern part of Mephius which sits in a ravine. During the war with Garbera, the Mephian army fell back to Biarc after losing Apta.

After losing his family, the ten year old Orba managed to make it to the city of Biarc and survive there by stealing. After four years he ran a small gang of other boys with a few criminal enterprises. He ends up being turned into the Biarc garrison, who convict and sentence him. He is then branded as a slave, had the iron mask placed on him, and sold to Tarkas before leaving the city behind.
