Finding Tiolos

Some time later, Minos and his group entered that coastal city where they were supposed to find signs of Tiolos.

Marrin wasn't as big as Examire, but by the standards of Oqia, where there were few cities open to aliens, the place must have been among the largest cities on the continent.

With just over 100,000 alien inhabitants, the beautiful seaside city stretched along 25 kilometers of coastline and beach, with one of the largest ports on the continent there.

Although sea travel was extremely dangerous, traveling along the coast was not and was one of the quickest ways to cross great distances without a variety of dangers on the continent.

Coastal towns were common in Oqia. For people of lower levels, as most of the mainland population was, traveling across the continent was too dangerous. Exchanges of goods and resources were necessary, so naval cities dominated this continent.
