===Preservation of Glaistic culture===
Since the establishment of the [[Aciriano-Istroyan Kingdom|Glaisto-Istroyan Kingdoms]] around 150 years prior to her life, a Glaistic archon had not ruled any of the kingdoms. Half and quarter Glaistics were commonplace, but Miama was the first whose both parents were Glaistic, or at least had minimal [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]] ancestry. Miama actively worked to destroy and remove Istroyan influence and history by destroying Istroyan temples, appointing Glaistic officials over Istroyan and there are even records of her attempting to create a Glaistic script to replace the Istroyan one.

Miama worried for the future of Glaistic culture, which is why she also invested heavily into the documentation of their practices and beliefs. She was the first Salidran leader to also completely abandon the Istroyan pantheon in favour of the Glaistic one and even momentarily criminalized the Glaistos from practising the Istroyan religion.

Despite the initial shock and outrage of the kingdom being ruled by a woman for years, it quickly started discussion in the upper classes of society whether or not women should be allowed to become archons. As the word of the female archon spread across the kingdoms, so did the discussion. Over time, Miama's legacy gave women of her time more power than before, being allowed in ruling positions in monarchies and democracies alike. Many historians attribute her as the figure which shattered the very male-dominated society typical for the time for a society where women were allowed to reach high positions, at least on a judiciary level.
