Aaand tagging @Ampers07 who basically plays the only Songaskian left on the server. Hopefully there will be more now? We can stop hating on them as the main antag of history and shift our hate to the Kathar instead.
- https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Songaskia
- https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Sihndar
- https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Dragonblood (not yet live)
- Sihndar Destruction was a bit off-balance, needed a bit more all-rounded usage besides super situational. The new reflection ability may be a bit OP, so we're going to monitor how it's being used.
- Songaskian race was practically suffering from the same problem as "Basic Bitch Elf" except that they were "Basic Black Ailor". The Songaskian occupation was several years ago, it's been enough time to get over the whole "Mudskin!" gaggle and give them a new place in the lore.
- Dragonblood suffered from type disconnect. With the Songaskian lore, it gained a new purpose.
- New cover art
- New introduction that introduces them as not "le evil black people" but as actual Dragon descendants.
- Removed the weird limb proportions and made them Ailor proportions. Merged all the ex-Songaskian sub-races back into one and allowed more genetic variation for that single one, but strictly kept the design within the scope of Dragonscale color.
- Gave Songaskians Dragon horns and a tail as well as optional patches of Dragonscale-appearing skin.
- Gave Songaskians the ability that allows them to mask these traits in case someone doesn't like horns as their aesthetic.
- Gave Songaskians the ability to have aesthetic hair customization based on their Dragon abilities.
- Gave Songaskians a more happy and acceptant attitude instead of "SLAVE EVERYONE" and the generic "ass arrogant" attitudes that some races suffer from. The Songaskians are the first race who are 100% acceptant of half-breeds and interracial mixing, as well as having a more generally utopian and kind view on the other races, even if it is still framed in arrogance.
- Gave the Songaskians World Flow Powers. At a base line, they are weaker than Parlor Magic and much weaker than Magic perm magics, but give mostly aesthetic flair to character emotes.
- Rewrote the entire Songaskian history. It still lacks a bit of middle context, but it's got more stuff added to re-contextualize the relationship between Regalians and Songaskians. While obviously racism towards Songaskians will still be present among the nobility, commoners should be far more accepting of them now.
- Got rid of the clause that made Songaskians at the same level of unwanted citizen as Kathar, and categorized them under First Citizen.
- Added modern IC changes to the Songaskian history section.
- Reworked their politics to be less about oppression and more about willful ignorance, naivety, while still keeping much of the old army structure in place for continuation of the lore.
- Reworded the really weird theatric speech in the Culture section. added a large flavor expansion for Dragon lineage which Songaskians can trace their heritage from, if they want to, with additional flavor niches.
- Religion has some wording changed that largely benefits character design. Removed their hate for tattoos and their bar from headgear, which allows hats and tattoos for character design now instead of just arbitrarily blocking it.
- Combat and Warfare is largely the same.
- Trivia updated with two extra points, about them inventing Desert Sailing and about Songaskians not being hurt by sun-glare or sunstroke.
- Simplification of the system between Dragonsoul & Dragon aspect. Dragonsoul remains the same (true Dragonblood) but Dragon aspect is essentially now "The ability for Dragonsoul to give Songaskian appearance traits (like skin/tail/horns) to all other races (where applicable) as well as their abilities (Element Shift & World Flow Powers) but not Elder Shift (so that they always keep their physical Dragon Traits as long as they are Dragon aspect until it is taken away from them.
