Before Akos was built in the early Third Age, the people of Mag had only small settlements and three tribal villages. The nine-year war with Tûmag (S.A. 3411-3420) instilled strong unity in the tribes. The tribal leaders agreed upon the need for a strong settlement to enable the Mag to resist any future threats. Akos was built on the Uan Gepelek (Blue Wedge Bay) at the mouth of the small river Sopukij.

The capital of Mag did not have the diversity of cultures of its sister city, Alyahopa (capital of the Twin Nations). But the city was beautiful and comfortable, despite a thriving underground of thieves, smugglers, and ruffians.
