When the heir of Papell Town, Rigam, ran away from home to survive, with the help of some of his maternal grandfather's loyal servants. He ended up at the nearest City, which was Crystal City, where his mother's maternal family was originally from. It was also here that his great-grandfather received a Lord token back then.
They were a fallen noble family in this City, which was why his father didn't care about what happened to his mum under his roof. It was quite the distant relationship, as the closest relatives by blood were his great-grandparents, but they were there and were more of a family than his father ever was.
He studied in Crystal City's Academy as a student, which started from ten years of age to eighteen. He and Salam were classmates and clashed more often than not.
However, after a few ups and downs children went through in their acquaintance (i.e. the occasional fight and pranks), they eventually grew to become best friends.
