On 18th August 2001, the largest whirlpool even seen in Neopia destroyed the city of Maraqua. This came the day after an ignored ultimatum from a nearby force of pirates who demanded their annual protection money from King Koi, then ruler of the city.
The extent of the damage was not known until almost a year after the whirlpool began, when it finally stopped turning (31st May 2002). Divers began to explore the area, and the ruins of Maraqua began to emerge.
This was intended to be the start of a new Maraqua plot, however it was abandoned shortly after Maraqua was destroyed. It was later revived as The Curse of Maraqua plot.
