Region: The City of Mineta[]
Chance of Discovery: 4[]
In the upper city of Mineta stands the Forum of Maxum, named after the often-maligned student of Oleapia who refused to follow his master into apprenticeship to Chauranqlaith. Maxum believed in Oleapia's teachings and felt that his master was being seduced by youthful exuberance and high energy discussions.
Abandoned by nearly all his friends and fellow students, Maxum eventually found his way to the Imperial Court where he became the tutor to the Emperor's daughter. His methods of teaching were conservative enough for the Imperial famlly, and he soon became a valued member of the family, so much so that the next forum built in the Imperial city was named after him.
