For his first stage of life, Darius had grown up in a small village that was virtually in the middle of nowhere. There was barely any technology used and if there was it would be by the travellers and merchants.
Darius remembered having his meals cooked by fire and having his laundry done by the nearest river for him by his mother. His father was the village chief, and in such a small village he had nothing much to do so he was a lumberjack.
After the horde, Darius was sent to multiple villages until he finally got a home in Loyalty Village. The Matron was very kind to him and understood his plight. Due to his curse and trauma, it was difficult for the boy to settle at most orphanages.
Loyalty Village was much closer to the provincial capital hence it was much more advanced than his old village as well. It was there that Darius received his first communicator and got introduced to the wider world.
