Long ago, during the era when Old Maraqua still stood proudly beneath the waves, King Kelpbeard took a chance and stood up to the evil pirate who threatened his people. The pirates were angered at King Kelpbeard for standing up for Maraqua and against Captain Scarblade. The pirates attacked and Maraqua was destroyed, and its people scattered.

Years later, as he oversaw the rebuilding of Maraqua in a secret location, the older and wiser King Kelpbeard organized armies who would be able to protect the New Maraqua should any surface dwellers ever discover it. He commanded his people to never interact with those from the surface like they once had, and he truly believed that it was for the greater good.

New Maraqua was discovered in the plot Curse of Maraqua which took place between March 15, 2005 and June 10, 2005, after Garin escaped from New Maraqua's prison. His gossip of the city spread to the ears of Captain Scarblade, who attacked the city. However, this time King Kelpbeard and his army had the strength to defend their kingdom (with little help from all of Neopia), and were able to force back the attack. New Maraqua now trades with surface once again.
