History
In 179 YG Raemor, the Oqio of the Corinthean city Miac'Geoki, died. His second son Corius was unlikely to inherit, being second in line to the throne. However by chance his uncle Farios the Oqio of Miacaglae, also died naming his nephew heir, so Corius travelled to that city to be crowned as Oqio. The night before his coronation, he received word that his brother fell from his horse, leaving no heir.
Corius did the math and decided that ruling a prosperous seaport would mean to more wealth and opportunity, than would ruling a smaller city upriver. So he slipped from the palace and rode for the coast over three days and nights to declare himself heir to the throne of Miac'Geoki after his brother. The haste with which he turned around in his journey is said to have caused a swirl, and thus he was marked with the nickname Aguakoa - Tornado ever after.
There has been a small rivalry between the two cities ever since. Miac'Geoki claiming they are a such beautiful and desirable place to live, that even the Oqio would give up his throne to move there. In counterpoint Miacaglae believes the people of Miac'Geoki to be shallow, irresponsible, and unlikely to follow through on a agreement. As Oqio go, Corius was about average. He did however stick with his decision, and served his city well throughout his reign.
Corius' younger brother, Iakei, became the Oqio of Miacaglae, as the next eldest nephew of his late uncle Farios. He was forever grateful for his brothers abdication, and kept peaceable relations between the two cities.
