Cor was the queen of the island of Coregos during the time of Prince Inga and King Rinkitink.

Description[]

Queen Cor was the cruel queen of the island of Coregos. She was married to Gos of Regos, and the two ruled together, making their pair of islands cruel and warlike. The people of the twin islands could not decide which of their sovereigns they dreaded most.

Later, she and her husband are conquered by Prince Inga of Pingaree, whose people had been made slaves of Regos and Coregos. Cor and Gos escaped with the King and Queen of Pingaree to the Nome Kingdom, where they gave them to the Nome King Kaliko for safekeeping; they then tried to sail back to their islands but were caught in a storm and were drowned. (Rinkitink in Oz)

Background[]

In their marriage, Gos is the brawn and Cor is the brains. In his later novel The Magical Mimics in Oz, Jack Snow modeled his King Umb and Queen Ra, rulers of Mount Illuso, on Gos and Cor.
