Maraya Lore Rewrite

[MonMarty]

Finally staged the planning to definitely /not/ remove them from lore. Re-released them in a way that we feel it is "fun" for the players while also standing on their own to not just be "uwu pastel Elves". Hopefully this will stick around for the long haul.

Source material:

• https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Maraya

Changes:

• Split El-Maraya to El, Ka and Haat-Maraya
• Ka-Maraya are like wrestling Maraya who are philosophers, governors and preachers.
• Haat-Maraya are a limited re-release of spider lady aesthetic that fits within the "evil" spectrum
• Removed the entire "we forgot we were people so we became bugs and now we're people again" history.
• Gave them a unique racial ability to deny racial abilities of other races.
• Expanded palette range
• Provided more racial flexibility within the subrace bends.
• Added far more cool backstory to give them more stuff to do besides just existing in tunnels and shitting on Allar.
• Provided more hook-ins with other races to have an established notion.
• Practically everything... so:

All Maraya characters have to be rewritten! Sorry!

But on the bright side, this means the race isn't being retired indefinitely, so this rework is likely to be the last for this race and they get to stay for good.

Does "limited" mean one needs to request a special permission to play as Haat-Maraya? o,..,o

No it just means it's "sort of Spider inspired" but not really literally spiders.

I see a large amount of roleplay opportunities with this Maraya update. I see an excellent opportunity to integrate a new community to the Regalian Scene.
