Childhood:
Loqa grew up in a nameless Rathnir hamlet in Iremith. It was a small community formed by ambitious by friendly peoples. It was here that Loqa became reunited with a dear friend. Sadly, this would the last fond memory he had. Iremith nobles grew weary of Loqa's father who had begun to amass authority within region. Fearing his strength, they assassinated him.

Loqa, next-in-line, became a frequent target. Being too young, he was eventually forced to flee from his hamlet. His mother sacrificed her life to save both Loqa and his two brothers as they fled. Shaken, Loqa chose to formally enlist into Iremith's country and climb the social ladder. Both to reclaim his honor and to avenge his family.

Loqa had become Iremith's Master of War, using his authority to purge the nobles that plagued his youth. He had been tasked to set up a colony in Eldham. Finding it as a new opportunity to re-establish his hamlet, Loqa agreed. Thus, Raridan was established.

But as time went on, disagreements erupted, and Loqa chose to seek independence with the Raridan colony. His rule faced internal conflict to the point that he was betrayed by his close friend Guardready, who accused Loqa of theft. Iremith intervened on Guardready's side, thus exiling Loqa. While fleeing from the country, Loqa lost both his brother and one of his sons to Bandits that roamed the plain.
