Ahua the Great: Difference between revisions

'''Ahua the Great''' is the central founding figure of [[the Oan Isles]] and of the [[Mauism|Mauist religion]]. He is a semi-legendary figure in that while there is historical evidence for his existence, many of the stories and actions attributable to him are unprovable. He was the son of King Manupatea of Tokamotu, and succeeded him in 983. There are myths which claim that he fought mermaids, was blessed by Maui in the form of a Spix’s Macaw and others. Nevertheless, his progeny survives in the modern House of Ahua ([[Oan royal family]]) which provides heirs to the [[Emperor of Polynesia|Throne of Polynesia]].
