Background / History

Beirut was born near a hidden Teleportation Array in the northwest of the Forest of Darkness, where the surrounding elemental energy was unusually dense. He cultivated there until reaching the Lowgod realm at five hundred years old, when the array unexpectedly activated and sent him to the Gabadan Plane Prison. 148

He later became the guardian and Sovereign of the Yulan Plane. As manager of the Necropolis of the Gods, he oversees its trials and treasures, though he states that his authority as manager does not grant him the right to enter and explore it himself. 70
