Complete Mictlan Lore Overhaul (not clickbait)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Lore Impact (Small/Medium/Large): Miniscule.

Species: Human

Short Description: Correcting a description on the Mictlan wiki page

Long Description: Recently noticed that the quick description in bold text for Mictlani characters in the Mictlan wiki page has a rather funny error that, i dont know how me and many other people havent noticed until now.
The error is that the description describes Mictlan as being "consistent with people of Central and South America". On a surface level it doesnt seem wrong, until you realize that Mexico is, in fact, located in North America. The description ends up leaving out probably the region mostly associated with Mictlani culture and heritage. Names and places such as Huitzilopochtli, Llactapata and Huehuecóyotl are very much Aztec/Mexican based. So is Pulque, a traditional mexican drink.

"While Mictlan is been a beacon of multiculturalism among humans and aliens in the Orion Spur, many humans that have immigrated to the planet have been assimilated into Mictlan's culture and society. Because of this, human characters born on Mictlan must have names and appearances consistent with the peoples of Central and South America. Only characters native to Mictlan may take the Mictlan accent. This is enforceable by server moderators and admins."

What i want to do is to simply replace the highlighted text above for "human characters born on Mictlan must have names and appearances consistent with the peoples of Mexico, Central America and South America.", thus correcting this rather goofy mistake.

I could have probably just pinged someone in discord, but this seems a more "professional" way to do it.

#1 Mictlan fan here. I completely agree with this change considering I already have a character from Nueva Tenochtitlan, which is a city on Mictlan that was settled by Mexicans. There's no reason not to change this given someone might incorrectly assume you can't make a Mexican-rooted character who was born on Mictlan/takes the Mictlani accent.
