'''Captain Dread''' is a skeletal [[Kiko]] pirate who originally destroyed [[Maraqua]] with a curse in ''[[The Destruction of Maraqua]]'', when [[King Koi]] refused to pay the pirates' protection money. Dread sailed the submarine ''[[The Revenge]]''.

His vendetta was carried on by [[Captain Scarblade]]. What happened to Dread afterwards is unknown. It is, however, suspected that captian dread is just an outdated version of captian scarblade. How he placed the curse is also unknown.

==Trivia==
*An image of Captain Dread holding a bottle and grinning is featured as a background in the game [[Kiko Match II]].

Destruction of Maraqua

On 18th August 2001, the largest whirlpool even seen in [[Neopia]] caused '''the destruction of Maraqua'''.

This came the day after the King of [[Maraqua]], [[King Koi]], had an ignored ultimatum from [[Captain Scarblade]], who on behalf of the [[Krawk Island|pirates]] had sailed with his [[Mynci]] and [[Blumaroo]] helmsmen, in the ship ''[[The Revenge]]'', to demanded their annual 'protection money'. King Koi had refused to pay, standing up to the pirates on account of Maraqua's recent misfortunes (bad kelp harvest, declining popularity with tourists, coral tax and stock depressions), to which the Captain had ominously declared he'd see the King, "in HELL!".

The full extent of the damage was not known until almost a year after the whirlpool began, when it finally stopped turning (31st May 2002). Divers began to explore the area, and the ruins of Maraqua began to emerge.

This was intended to be the start of a new Maraqua plot, however it was abandoned shortly after Maraqua was destroyed. It was later revived as [[The Curse of Maraqua]] plot.

==Trivia==

*With the destruction of Maraqua, many changes took place:
**[[Koi]] became [[Limited Edition]].
**The Flotsam [[Underwater Chef]] of Maraqua moved to [[Mystery Island]], making [[Kitchen Quest]]s available again.
**Maraquan recipes washed up onto the shore of Mystery Island early in the morning and were being sold in the [[Tropical Food Shop]].
*[[The Rock Pool]] opened on August 29, 2001, selling Maraquan [[Petpet]]s which had begun swimming towards Mystery Island. Slight redesigns were given to a few of these Petpets.

Maraqua

2009-06-15T21:03:01Z

72.197.218.208: /* Old Maraqua */

[[Image:Maraquaruins.gif|frame|right|The ruins of Old Maraqua.]]

'''Maraqua''' is an underwater land discovered on October 6, 2000. The name is given to two underwater kingdoms, one of which was destroyed and is currently in ruins. In order to distinguish between the two cities, the historic city is referred to as ''Old Maraqua'' and the modern ''New Maraqua''. Maraqua is not the only underwater settlement - see [[Kiko Lake]] - but it is the only salt water one as of yet discovered.

==Old Maraqua==

===The Destruction===
:''Main Article: [[The Destruction of Maraqua]]''

Was destroyed by a whirlpool on August 18, 2001, following a flash movie released the previous day (17th August 2001) in which the Pirate [[Captain Scarblade]], a [[lupe]], sailed to Maraqua in a ship known in fanlore as ''The Revenge''. Here, he demanded his annual 'protection money' from the then King Koi, who refused to pay (giving reasons such as a 'poor Kelp Harvest'). From the tone of this conversation, it can be presumed that Captain Scarblade regularly came for this money. The whirlpool is believed to be the result of a curse from this Pirate. The whirlpool, said to be ten miles wide, lasted until the 31st May 2002, where is finally subsided to reveal the Ruins of Maraqua.
[[Image:Whirlpool.png|thumb|left]]
===Attractions of the Original Maraqua===

Maraqua once housed the Underwater [[Kitchen Quest]]s, later relocated to [[Mystery Island]], and was the sole supplier of [[Utility Fish]], which are now all retired and very expensive. [[TNT]] stated once that they originally planned for Utility Fish to be used as [[NeoHome]] utilities. Maraqua also sold Aquatic [[PetPet]]s (most of which were [[Old Neopets|redesigned]] and are being sold on Mystery Island). The Aquatic Foods Shop also disappeared, retiring the shop items, only to be replaced by [[Kelp]] in New Maraqua, with new foods.

After the whirlpool ruined the city, the Ruins began to be populated again, first by a gigantic [[Slug Monster]], then by a [http://www.neopets.com/water/statue.phtml Mysterious Statue] (believed to be of the [[Darkest Faerie]]), then by a Bubbling Pit (listing all the available Maraqua-coloured Neopets), then by an [[Underwater Fishing]] area. The discovery and open trade with New Maraqua has promoted people re-entering the ruins, and it remains to be seen whether more will be made of this area.

==New Maraqua==
After the whirlpool destroyed the original city, [[King Kelpbeard]] set about building a new, more splendid city, with a strong army to protect it from its enemies. However, information of this was learnt by an armada of pirates, who set out to [[Curse of Maraqua|conquer the nation]].

===History===
As part of the [[Curse of Maraqua]] plot, Maraqua was rebuilt with the intention of being stronger than its predecessor so as to withstand any future Pirate attacks. New Maraqua has a standing army lead by [[Swordmaster Talek]], something Old Maraqua didn't appear to have. When [[Captain Scarblade]] learned that there were surviving [[Maraquan]]s, he lead another attack (this time with an army of pirates). They were fought off, however, in the plot.

===Maractite===
The Curse of Maraqua plot introduced the mineral [[maractite]], capable of travelling effortlessly through water as though it was in air. Information provided in the CoM plot suggests that supplies of maractite are running thin. According to the ''Maractite Axe'' card (of the [[Neopets TCG]]), maractite slowly decays when exposed to air.

===Attractions of New Maraqua===
In addition to having shops selling [[Maractite Weaponry|maractite weaponry]] and [[furniture]], Maraqua is also the sole supplier of collectable [[Sea Shells]]. There is a shop selling Maraquan PetPets, although, interestingly, none of the PetPets that were sold in Old Maraqua and now Mystery Island are being sold.

The restaurant [[Kelp]], much like the [[Golden Dubloon]] on [[Krawk Island]], sells highly priced meals, and an avatar is obtainable from it. It is frequently very busy, making entering the restaurant difficult.

==Maraquan Architecture==
Visually, Old Maraqua's structure was very different from New Maraqua's. Old Maraqua was built out of ''transparashield'', and had the look of a futuristic ocean colony. The smooth, bubble-like windows seemed to imply that there was an atmosphere inside the buildings. New Maraqua has a very coral-like appearance, is made out of [[Maractite]], and is open to the oceans.

==Plot Replacements==
In the [[Curse of Maraqua]] plot, several replacements were made to the characters from the original destruction movie. [[Captain Dread]] was replaced with [[Captain Scarblade]], Captain Dread's unnamed sidekick [[Blumaroo]] was replaced with [[Benny the Blade]], [[King Koi]] was replaced with [[King Kelpbeard]], and ''The Revenge'' submarine with a boat of the same name.

The original destruction movie was removed after the Curse of Maraqua ([http://www.neopets.com/pirates/maraqua.phtml the page it was found on] now only redirects to the [http://www.neopets.com/aboutus.phtml About Us] page) due to these inconsistencies, but the movie file [http://images.neopets.com/pirates/maraqua.swf still exists] on the servers.

==Yooyuball==
Maraqua's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team could be described as "a house divided," due to the antics of their star forward. [[Elon Hughlis]] is more concerned with his personal accomplishments than actual wins and losses, making him a headache to the team. He looks down on his teammates who aren't as talented as him, and they endure him due to his tremendous ability. Maraqua would love to trade Hughlis to another team, but no other team would give them as equal a player in return.

After getting beaten in the first round of [[Altador Cup 2006]], fans thought Maraqua would cut its losses and get rid of Elon Hughlis. When it became apparent that Hughlis wasn't leaving, they decide to trade other foward, [[Jair Tollet]] for [[Roo Island]]'s [[Dayla]] (injured first practice). Considering Hughlis insisted on scoring most of the team's goals, Maraqua decided having three defenders in the lineup worked best for them, adding hefty defence man [[Oten Runeu]] to their starting unit. As a result, Maraqua now has one of the toughest squads in Neopia to score against.

Team positions are as follows (bolded notes the Team Captain):
{| wikitable border="1" cellpadding="2" align="center"
|- style="background:#008080"
! Year || Goalkeeper || Left Defender || Right Defender || Left Forward || Right Forward

==Colour==
:''Main Article: [[Maraquan]]''

Maraquan is one of the many [[The Rainbow Pool|colours]] that users can paint their [[Neopet|Neopets]] and [[Petpet|Petpets]]. Maraquan pets resemble underwater creatures, both real and mythological. The Maraquan colour for Neopets was released on June 17, 2003, and the Maraquan colour for Petpets was released on April 21, 2004.

==Trivia==
*[[The Neopets Team]] gave a hint Maraqua would return in the [[Advent Calendar]] of December 27, 2004, which showed all current bands of the [[Concert Hall]] playing to a version of [[Wikipedia:Band Aid (band)|Do They Know It's Christmas?]] with the words "Rebuild Maraqua - Let them know Neopia loves them!". A ''Rebuild Maraqua Poster'' was given out as a prize on the same day.

[[Image:Whirlpool.png|thumb|left]]
===Attractions of the Original Maraqua===

Maraqua once housed the Underwater [[Kitchen Quest]]s, later relocated to [[Mystery Island]], and was the sole supplier of [[Utility Fish]], which are now all retired and very expensive. [[TNT]] stated once that they originally planned for Utility Fish to be used as [[NeoHome]] utilities. Maraqua also sold Aquatic [[PetPet]]s (most of which were [[Old Neopets|redesigned]] and are being sold on Mystery Island). The Aquatic Foods Shop also disappeared, retiring the shop items, only to be replaced by [[Kelp]] in New Maraqua, with new foods.

After the whirlpool ruined the city, the Ruins began to be populated again, first by a gigantic [[Slug Monster]], then by a [http://www.neopets.com/water/statue.phtml Mysterious Statue] (believed to be of the [[Darkest Faerie]]), then by a Bubbling Pit (listing all the available Maraqua-coloured Neopets), then by an [[Underwater Fishing]] area.

The restaurant [[Kelp]], much like the [[Golden Dubloon]] on [[Krawk Island]], sells highly priced meals, and an avatar is obtainable from it. It is frequently very busy, making entering the restaurant difficult.

==Maraquan Architecture==
Visually, Old Maraqua's structure was very different from New Maraqua's. Old Maraqua was built out of ''transparashield'', and had the look of a futuristic ocean colony.
