	'''Maraqua''' is an underwater land discovered on October 6, 2000 by [[Professor Chesterpot]] during the [[Hunt for the Battledome]] plot. 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.

	~~===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.
