Urco Tapiha
Like his father Ciary Tapiha, Urco had a keen appreciation for order and structure. Early in his reign, he continued to follow the directives of General Whanuï. This persisted until whispers of a new power rising in the southeast of Misava, the largest continent of Pludeo, reached Whare Moana. This emerging power emphasized that through order and control, peace and fortitude could be achieved.
Urco, intrigued and hopeful, secretly dispatched an envoy to trace the origins of these rumors, seeking to connect with the leaders of this burgeoning movement. The envoy succeeded, finding the heart of the uprising in Tiko Ra Ku. There, contact was made, and Urco pledged his allegiance to Xilerxi - Goddes of Order, converting himself and his followers to this new faith.
Urco’s covert support proved invaluable to the Divine Conquest for Order. He provided crucial intelligence, revealing weaknesses in General Whanui's and their Ariki's forces. This information led to the decimation of several small armies of destruction. However, Urco's subterfuge was eventually exposed when one of his men, captured and tortured by Whanui's forces, confessed to Urco's betrayal before succumbing to his injuries.
Marked for death by Whanui, Urco and the residents of Whare Moana faced a formidable siege by Whanui's largest assembled army. For two and a half weeks, they valiantly defended their stronghold until the Divine Conquest for Order arrived. The grand army of order swept in, prompting General Whanui to call for a tactical retreat to Whenau Tenei.
After Whanui's forces were ultimately defeated, the Emperor of Order acknowledged Urco's critical role in their victory. As a reward for his support and loyalty, Urco, his family, and the inhabitants of Whare Moana were granted control of Marhumbi. They received financial aid to help transform the village into a thriving and significant city.
Through his decisions, Urco Tapiha transitioned his family and followers from the darkness of destruction to the new Age of Order. He died in the 46th year of the Age of Order, succeeded by his son Wahuxi Tapiha.
