**Marae** is the goddess of the land of Mareth, where the game mainly takes place. She can be found via the Lake.

## Encounter

While exploring the Lake with the boat, the player may explore the abandoned island, where they will find **Marae**, who appears to be a feminine figure fused in a tree.

If the player have more than 66 Corruption, **Marae** will refuse to talk to them.

If the player have less than 66 Corruption, **Marae** will explain to them that the demons of Mareth used to be humans who developed magic, initially in peace. Eventually, the magic started being used for hedonistic purposes and carnal desires, corrupting their users. Now, they want to corrupt her too, and for that, they built a factory to corrupt the Lake and other areas nearby. She will ask the player to shut down the factory.

If the player have more than 80 Libido and Corruption combined, they can select the option **Boob**. They will try to grope **Marae**, only to make her angry, dealing a high amount of damage to them.

In any case, the player will have no other choice than to go back. If the player was able to talk with **Marae**, they will unlock the **Marae's Island** in the **Places** menu. However, they can't talk to **Marae** until they clear the Demon Factory.

Depending on how the Demon Factory is cleared, **Marae**'s next encounter will change greatly.

* Overloading the **Valves** will corrupt the area and **Marae** herself.
* **Shutting down** the Demon Factory will keep **Marae** pure.

## Pure Route

After shutting down the Demon Factory, the player can go see **Marae** again. She will thank them by giving a Pure Pearl. She will also plant Hollicynthea in the Camp.

## Corrupt Route

After destroying the Demon Factory by overloading the valves, the player can go see **Marae** again. However, because of the tainted fluids released into the Lake, she will be corrupted, and will try to have sex with the player. Depending on their choices and gender, they may receive special rewards.

### First Part

* **[Run]:** The hero will simply run away.
* **[Lethicite]:** The hero attempts to steal Marae's Lethicite. This may fail, but high speed or evasion stats can increase the odds of success drastically.
* **[Accept]:** Choosing to mate with Marae will result in the hero and Marae fucking each other forever, and a **Game Over**.

There are 4 possible outcomes to that, depending on whether or not running away, or stealing the Lethicite, was successful.

**Note:** If the player does not successfully steal the Lethicite during this encounter, the Lethicite will be **lost forever.**

#### Run (Successful)

*This scenario may be more likely to occur when the player's speed stat and evasion stats are high.*

The player runs away, hearing Marae's laughter in the background. No effects gained.

The player returns to camp.

#### Run (Unsuccessful) -- ((Unconfirmed result, more research needed))

This scenario is unconfirmed to exist, but may require a low speed/evasion stat to trigger.

Marae stops the player and rapes them.

* If the player qualifies as Female, they will gain the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk.
	+ This increases fertility drastically and decreases their gestational time.

* If the player qualifies as Male, they will gain the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk.
	+ This increases the chance for vaginally penetrated NPCs to be impregnated by the player, as well as granting a +25% chance of impregnating Edryn, and increases the number of children that Tamani becomes pregnant with by +3.

* If the player qualifies as Hermaphrodite, they will either gain the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk, or the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk, whereas the former is more likely.

**Note:** It is fully possible to choose which perk(s) to gain, regardless of starting gender. More on that at the bottom of this page ("*Choosing gender qualifications*").

The player returns to camp.

#### Steal Lethicite (Successful)

This scenario is more likely to occur if the player has a high speed stat, as well as evasion stats.

The player manages to avoid Marae's tentacles and steals her Lethicite before running off towards the boat. Marae simply sighs. The player obtains Marae's Lethicite.

The player returns to camp.

#### Steal Lethicite (Unsuccessful)

This scenario is more likely to occur when the player's speed stat and evasion stats are low.

Marae stops the player and rapes them.

* If the player qualifies as Female, they will gain the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk.
	+ This increases fertility drastically and decreases their gestational time.

* If the player qualifies as Male, they will gain the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk.
	+ This increases the chance for vaginally penetrated NPCs to be impregnated by the player, as well as granting a +25% chance of impregnating Edryn, and increases the number of children that Tamani becomes pregnant with by +3. The latter two effects are the only known concrete values for this perk's effects.

* If the player qualifies as Hermaphrodite, they will either gain the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk, or the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk, whereas the former is more likely.

**Note:** It is fully possible to choose which perk(s) to gain, regardless of starting gender. More on that at the bottom of this page.

The player returns to camp.

### Second Part

If the player has finished the **First Encounter** after destroying the Factory valves, they can once again use the Boat to find Marae, in which case the second, final encounter will take place.

***Note:** If the player has wings after the first encounter, this encounter will be skipped and the game will proceed past it. No effects will be gained.* *It is recommended to remove wings before the first encounter.*

When the player encounters Marae again, the goddess will immediately rape the player. The player will then be granted another perk.

The perk given will depend on how what perk(s) the player already has, as well as the player's gender qualifications.

* If the player qualifies as Male, and possesses the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk, the player will be granted the **Marae's Gift - Profactory** perk.
	+ This perk will triple the cum production rate of the player.

* If the player qualifies as Male, but does not possess the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk, the player will be granted the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk.
	+ This is the same perk as the one in the first encounter.

* If the player qualifies as Female, and possesses the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk, the player will be granted the **Marae's Gift - Buttslut** perk.
	+ This perk increases the player's anal wetness to 2 and never lets it drop below 2.

* If the player qualifies as Female, but does not possess the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk, the player will be granted the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk.
	+ This is the same perk as the one in the first encounter.

* If the player qualifies as Hermaphrodite, and possesses the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk, the player will be granted the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk.
* If the player qualifies as Hermaphrodite, and possesses the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk, the player will be granted the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk.
* If the player qualifies as Hermaphrodite, but does not possess any of these perks, the player will be granted either the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk, or the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk.
	+ As you can see, Hermaphrodites cannot gain the **Buttslut** or **Profactory** perks. They will instead receive whichever perk they didn't get from the first encounter.

If they didn't get any perk from the first encounter at all, they are more likely to obtain the **Marae's Gift - Stud** perk than the **Marae's Gift - Fertility** perk.
After this rape scene and perk reward, the player will return to camp and Marae can no longer be encountered. This is more or less the end of the **Corrupted Route**. However, there will be an "aftermath" event.

# Aftermath

After the player has destroyed the Factory and then finished both encounters with Marae during the **Corrupted Route**, a plant sprout will eventually appear in the outskirts of the player's camp, after some time has passed.

The player can choose whether to destroy the plant, or let it be. By letting it be and choosing to nurture it, the plant may eventually grow up to become Holli, a Camp Follower.

The plant sprout will appear regardless of how Marae's encounters progressed, or if the second encounter was skipped due to the player having wings. However, it will not appear before they are both over and no longer triggerable.

# Marae's Lethicite

Marae's Lethicite is an item that can be used for multiple purposes, but only a limited amount of times before fully consumed.

* If Rathazul is a Camp Follower, he can offer to use 1/3 of the Lethicite's power to create a protective thorn canopy for the camp.
* If Corrupted Jojo is an enslaved Camp Follower, the Lethicite can be used to turn him into Tentacle Jojo.
* The player can also give some of the Lethicite to the Hellhound Master in exchange for the Hellfire perk.
* If the player gives all of the Lethicite to the Hellhound Master, this will result in a bad end.

# Choosing gender qualifications

In the first and second encounters with Marae during the **Corrupt Route**, it is fully possible to choose which perks to gain, regardless of starting gender. For instance, here is a tested and working way to make a female character qualify as male:

* Use Reducto (Rathazul eventually offers them for purchase if he is a Camp Follower) to shrink Breasts and Nipples to their minimum size (flat-chested with 1/4 inch nipple).
* Eat enough Large Blue Eggs to make the player character's vagina and clit disappear, and a penis grow instead.
* You might wanna reduce hip and/or butt size, but this may not be required.

Once the character does not possess female endowments anymore, they will be able to gain the perks for males. The perks will be permanent, even if the character decides to change gender or grow new parts afterwards.

Vice versa, it is likely that removing all penises and balls, then growing a vagina and possibly also breasts, will let a male character gain the female-only perks.

# Notes

* The player can encounter Marae as often as they'd like before the Factory Quest has been completed. If the Factory has been destroyed, corrupting Marae, only 2 more encounters with her may take place.
* It is wise to carefully plan what rewards to obtain from Marae before shutting down or destroying the factory. Even failing to steal the Lethicite, or failing to run away, can be rewarding in its own way.
* Marae and her Lethicite are not to be confused with the demon queen, Lethice.
* You can read more about Marae's Lethicite on its own wiki page.
