History

The original inhabitants of Birodi built a megalithic temple in the area. The village itself was originally settled by ancient Chazians. While the Urbiot Empire controlled the islands, they did not place any permanent presence in the village, as they were more focused on their naval base across from Conspiua. They did build the watch towers near by, but those were to support the base on the other side of the island. After the Urbiot Empire retreated back to the Urbian Peninsula and Tibos, none of the other subsequent cultures that controlled Birodi made any significant changes to the village.
