Ostrava: Ostrava was a slum district, rapidly build by the Orcs from Tarkesh to make surveillance on them easier and to withdraw slaves for their own needs. The Tarkesh Orcs and Jagged Hill Goblins have been at war for years during the peace stasis of the Great War that had the immortals and mortals killing each other.

It was a fair war but the Orcs took the upper hand when King Pellup of the Goblin Jagged Hill tribe lost his life to an assassin, his/her identity still a mystery. The Orcs saw potential in Goblin Mechanics and decided to benefit from them, thus Ostrava was built not more than a few miles from Tarkesh.

Tinks was born in the Lightfinger family, he was born into Ostrava and thought of it as the whole world for a few years. One day he found a small red box with a blinking green light a top of it. He was hypnotized by it's beauty, a mystery to him, how that light danced on it's own and yet hadn't it's own heart beat. At the age of 5 he took it apart and saw the complex system of wires and circuits within the box, he memorized the wires orders and the circuits connections and finally dismantled it whole. He saw that the light died as the source of it's energy was stripped from the box. He reassembled it and brought it back to life.

Since that moment Tinks just needed to find more of these magic boxes and learn how they worked. He searched Ostrava for years without finding anything like that box. He knew he would not find anything like it in his City. He decided he needed to leave in order to find what made him feel complete. He began to gather woods and metals by doing jobs for his neighbors. Once he thought he had enough he built a makeshift raft and took it to the harbor where he told the guards that he was merely fishing for his family. He never did leave, scared for his life, what was there past the ocean? Would he go around and end up back here? Would he ever see land again? On his 13th birthday his parents gave him a bird made out of wood and told him that if he were ever lost the bird would help him find his way back home. Tinks beamed with joy at the news and on that night he took sail. Three months at sea he was finally rescued by a fisher man off the cost of Belleium. The human fisherman took him in and cared for him.

The fisherman had a daughter names Silvia who became close with him and for years they played together and he examined all sorts of contraptions at the mans house. One day however they decided to move to a less hectic City and as a gift Tinks constructed a rose out of scrap metal, the petals would light up a bright pink when they felt body heat, for Silvia. She adored the gift and that night, before the fisherman's family were to hit the road, Silvia and Tinks shared a bed. Tinks never saw Silvia again after that, he remained in Belleium tinkering with gadgets, the one thing that almost made him feel as happy as he did that blessed night.
