Miaga

Miaga is a bustling port town located on the weastern coast of the region, overlooking the Fumi Bay. The town was founded over two centuries ago by a group of settlers who were looking to establish a trading hub along the coast. Over time, Miaga grew in importance and became the second largest port in the region, after Tzoka. The town is known for its vibrant and diverse community, with people from all over the region coming to do business and make a living. The streets of Miaga are always busy, with merchants haggling over prices, sailors unloading cargo from ships, and travelers looking for a place to stay.

Despite its wealth and importance, Miaga has had its fair share of struggles over the years. At one point, the city of Tzoka came under the control of an Orc warband, causing many traders and merchants to turn to Miaga for business instead. During this time, Miaga experienced a sudden boom in wealth and became the most busy trading hub in the region. However, even after Tzoka returned under Imperial rule, traders and merchants continued to flock to Miaga due to the goodwill of the town's magistrate, Kaneko Kunimoto. Kaneko is a well-respected and beloved figure in Miaga, known for his fairness, generosity, and dedication to the town's prosperity. He is a shrewd businessman and skilled negotiator, and is always looking for ways to attract new traders and merchants to the town. Under his leadership, Miaga has become a thriving and prosperous port town, with a reputation for being a safe and welcoming place for travelers and traders alike.
