The story of Maraqua centers around a Usul named [[Garin]], who is the captain of a fierce pirate ship with his first mate and also best friend since childhood, a red Kyrii named [[Jacques]]. His life is full of plunder and adventure, and he lives with hardly a care until after he and his crew rob a wedding. This provokes the rage of [[Captain Scarblade]], terror and master of the Five Seas of Neopia. Scarblade seeks out the Black Pawkeet to extract his revenge.
 
Meanwhile, beneath the sea, a Maraquan Aisha by the name of [[Isca]], whom Garin knows from only a brief glimpse of her during his childhood, dreams this. Isca and Caylis, Maraquan sisters who were orphaned, were recovered by King Kelpbeard while he was looking for survivors after the attack on Old Maraqua. Upon bringing them into his court, it is discovered that Isca has the ability to foretell things in her dreams that greatly aide the citizens of Maraqua. Caylis later begins to be tormented by nightmares of disasters that always come true. The citizens of Maraqua, believed Caylis was the cause of these,and thus Kelpbeard exiled her. After Isca dreams of seeing Garin, the Usul of her childhood, in grave danger, she ascends from the depths of Maraqua to the surface. This is breaking the law of King Kelpbeard, who decreed that none were to mingle with the "surface-folk."
 
On board the Pawkeet, a fight rages between the pirates of the Black Pawkeet, and those of The Revenge, the ship captained by Scarblade. Jacques insists that they must abandon ship, for their forces are outnumbered. While Jacques is making his way to the skiff, Garin is knocked out and sent plummeting to the waves below. In his effort to reach his unconscious friend, Jacques's skiff is destroyed, and The Drenched take him as prisoner.
 
Isca saves Garin and takes him to Maraqua, where he discovers the amazing underwater city and steals his Maractite Dagger from there. Once he is recovered, he returns to the surface in hopes of finding information about Jacques and his crew. Below sea level, Isca dreams of Jacques, captive of the Drenched, and she returns to tell Garin of this. Garin and Isca plummet below and travel to the caves of the three witch sisters of the sea, otherwise known as The Drenched, live. A struggle ensues, and Garin and Isca rise victorious with Jacques having been rescued. Garin promises Isca after being prompted by Jacques, that he will help her with her new visions of a danger approaching Maraqua.

User participation

Users were given the option to help Maraqua or the pirates during the attack in two ways. One form of participation, Battler, involved fighting against Maraqua or the pirates in the Battledome. The other, Supporter involved acquiring certain items to assist the battlers, and playing Maraquan themed games to acquire points

Battledome

Those who joined Maraqua fought the pirates, and vice versa. Also, depending on the strength of the users selected Neopet (which was the only one which could fight in the war), only certain ranked opponents would award the user with points. Opponents could be fought an infinite number of times, but with each in the opponent became progressively stronger.
