History
Ancient history
3000 to 1500 years ago
Long ago, an ancient civilization settled in the area Rogueport is now located. They built a city there, that soon rose to be very prosporous, described as bustling, blessed and a place all people lived happy lives.[1] The city was located on a series of islands off of the coast Rogueport is located on in the modern day. Sometimes, around 1000 years ago, the pirate king Cortez would raid the city.
1000 years ago
A group of the members of the ancient civilization, calling themselves The Great Ones, summoned a demon, known as the Shadow Queen. This Demon destroyed the city in one night, causing it to sink under the sea. The Shadow Queen reigned terror across the land, using the palace at the center of the former Ancient City, untill 4 heroes united to fight her. Her body was destroyed, but her soul lingered, before being sealed in a deep dungeon in her palace, using the Crystal Stars.
Less then 1000 years ago
At first, the area where the Shadow Queen once dwelled was feared by all, but the story of the Ancient City slowly faded into legend and when the last ruins of the city had faded from the surface, generations had forgotten the terror of the Shadow Queen. Criminals from all over the world gattered and settled in a new town that they called Rogueport and the town slowly grew into a prospouring harbor, home to many species from across the world.
Not long ago
The X-Nauts search Rogueport, looking for a Crystal Star, which they manage to uncover. Princess Peach and Toadsworth were travelling throug the Mushroom Kingdom, but they head to make a stop, due to the boat running out of fuel. Toadsworth was very afraid and paranoid in the town, because of its criminality. Thus, he was very protective over Peach, but she refused to listen. Peach was looking around the town, when she stumbled across Beldam, who was carrying the chest containing the Magical Map, who ushered in Peach, so she could open the chest to thest if she was a fair maiden. Beldam gave her the chest and she managed to open it, proving that she had a pure heart. Beldam wanted to kidnap Peach at that instant, but she decided against it, due to the fact that she was paranoid over all the prying eyes that might see her. Peach sent the map to Mario, so that he could come to Rogueport and help her find the treasure, but soon, Beldam kidnapped her and took her to the X-Nauts.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
One day, Mario and Luigi were talking in their house about adventure, untill Luigi heard Parakarry delivering a letter. The letter was from Peach, who asked Mario to come to Rogueport to help her find the treasure that the map she sent him referred to. Mario travelled with a boat to Rogueport, where he found Goombella being harassed by a few X-Nauts, together with Lord Crump, who were trying to get information out of her, regarding the location of the Crystal Stars. Mario defeats Lord Crump, before Crump orders his minions to jump him and Goombella, but Mario escapes with her. After introducing themselves to eachother, Goombella befriends Mario and the two set their sights for Professor Frankly. Toadsworth walks outside form the inn and asks Mario to help find the princess. Mario travels to Frankly, who tells him about the legend of The Thousand-Year Door and the treasure of Rogueport, whereafter they travel to the door and the magical map reacts, by revealling the first Crystal Star to be located in Petal Meadows. After the heroes come back from Petal Meadows, they visit the Thousand-Year Door and visit Frankly, who tells them the next Crystal Star is located in the Boggly Woods. After they get the Crystal Star in Boggly Woods, Mario and his partners come back to Frankly, after visiting the Thousand-Year Door, who tells them the next Crystal Star is in Glitzville. Mario and his partners have no way of using the Blimp that could fly them there, so they have to find Don Pianta so he can give them a ticket. Not knowing where to find him, they visit Isnhail, who tells them a secret code, that could get them to Don Pianta's office. Don Pianta offers the ticket, if Mario and his partners look for his daughter Francesca, who has fallen in love with his left hand man, Frankie. Mario and his partners find the couple, who want to go to Keelhaul Key to find peace. Mario tells about what is going on, but they refuse to go visit Don Pianta, so Mario tells Don Pianta about the ordeal. He is saddened, but he sais a deal is a deal and he gives Mario and his partners the ticket. After getting the Crystal Star in Glitzville, Mario and his partners visit the Thousand-Year Door, whereafter they go to Frankly who tells them they have to go to Twilight Town. Mario and his partners go the pipe that leads there, but are refused. After finding Darkly in an alleyway, who signs there names on their backs, which is required to use the pipe, they gain access to Twilight Town. After they do, Bowser finds his way to Rogueport, looking for Mario, after which he and [[Kammy decide to fly to Glitzville via Clown cart, but during the flight, Bowser's clown cart runs out of fuel and falls into the ocean. After making his way back to the surface, Bowser is mad at Kammy, who went to Glitville and had fun anyway and Bowser breaths fire at her.
