Upal Artorius is a resourceful and determined young pirate who once dreamed of becoming a master blacksmith. As a blacksmith's apprentice, Upal's life took a dramatic turn when the mayor’s son falsely accused their forge of unpaid debts, leading to its destruction. Left destitute and alone after their master passed away, Upal sought a way to rebuild their life, turning to piracy as an unexpected means of survival. Upal dreams of completing their training and opening a forge of their own, a place of creation and renewal far from the chaos of piracy.
