Arthur Midas

The first king of the Midas empire. He lived from 24 AE to 63 AE.

Arthur was born in South city to merchant parents. Arthur inherited the family business at 17 when his father died from a sea monster attack. Because he was constantly traveling between the two cities, Arthur became very interested in the politics of both cities and was eventually able to create a trade monopoly between them.

Arthur became fully invested into politics when he began renting out his ships to smaller traders and became detached from the daily trading between South city and East city. By 29, Arthur was well respected among the people of both cities and declared himself king. Arthur used finances from his trading company to pay for infrastructure improvements along the western part of the continent which later resulted in West city and North city.

Arthur died at age 39 from an unknown disease, and was survived by his son William.
