Better question, when did we get told this was Earth? And not like... someplace completely different?

Arthryn's domain is the People aka the Arthwyd, but she is very strongly associated with stone and to a lesser extent the Earth and since Veekie convinced me of it, the Sea. As of right now, you can get earth and water magic from Arthryn with the former being stone-focused.
You current region is based off of a fusion of the British Isles and the Iberian Peninsula. You are not on a Not!Earth, but I have based some of the regions on regions from Earth to give me a baseline for what will be in those regions.
Well some quick googling shows there are Iberian Lynxes which are medium sized cats in Spain, and at least some people think lions lived in the Iberian peninsula at some point. I wouldn't discount larger cats being somewhere by us unless Oshha specifically says there aren't. Just another reason to explore.

They aren't in the northern Cursed Forest or the Great Bay or the North Coast or the Endless Grasslands and probably not the northern Lowlands. You don't know about any other areas.

The Arthrynite Maradysh have a fusion of your values and the traditional Maradysh values. They have a mixed communal/familial set up where both are equally important and you should work to help them.
Their survivor value which requires you to be strong and not require aid has been tempered by doing what is best for the family/community so it is now that you try to do it your own, but ask for help if you can't do it on your own so the community doesn't suffer because you tried to do something you couldn't because of pride or stubbornness.
They have also dropped their xenophobia, but have picked up Queens of Peace, Kings of War and are edging towards Fair Treatment. They are not picking up Sacred Defence due to their differing martial traditions.
Edit: They also have a Debilitating Belief that the lowlands is plague-infested and everything there either dies or spreads the plague to the non-infected. As far as they are concerned, everyone from too far south needs to be killed so they don't infect everyone else and get everyone killed.

Is the xenophobia that is now dropped their anti-lowlands thing?

I believe they still have it since it was mentioned that a reason why that hate Urth/the rebels was that they believed they used dark magics to survive the plague in the Lowlands.
But it was also said that this belief is a fragile one not backed by any sort of logical facts, and thus should be (relatively) easily broken by us venturing out into the lowlands and not dying horribly.

Forget that. That is a Debilitating Belief so I have it listed separately to their values. I'll add it in.

[X][SEC] Settle Land = Greenbay
[X][SEC] War Party = Barbarian Maradysh
With war raging in the south, the People decided had to intervene to help our their Maradysh brethren. The Maradysh were holding their own against the rebels and currently held the advantage as they had seized firm control over the walled core territories.
If it was just a case of the Maradysh fighting amongst themselves, then the Arthwyd would not need to get involved as their Arthrynite brethren had it in the bag and could easily crush the barbarian rebels.
But the rebels were not the only barbarians that they needed to be worried about. Thanks to the machinations of the Caradysh, the rebels and the tribes of the lowland had formed an alliance of barbarians against the People.
While the Maradysh were still confident that they could triumph over the barbarians, they weren't so confident as before as while they had better warriors, they could still get overwhelmed by sheer numbers if the lowlanders were able to send enough numbers.
That wasn't even considering the possibility of the Caradysh getting involved. They had already ignited the conflict and the Daughters of Urth are still slinking about. None of the People would be surprised that if the Daughters of Urth caused more trouble for the People or if their Mother sent an army to military help the barbarians in the war.
The Maradysh may be able to handle the rebels and lowlanders, but Caradysh intervention may be too much for them to handle on their own.
In the end, Cadlon Arnyl decided that the Arthwyd needed to send their Catclaws and Cateyes to help their southern brethren in the war. The Arthwyd had their own internal problems, but they could wait until the threat of barbarians had been beaten back in the south.
So even as the Arthwyd expanded further around the Greenbay region, an army was sent south to wage war.
Despite the initial fears of the Arthwyd on how badly things could go and how the war would turn out, their worries turned out to be unfounded.
While there had been worries about it, the Caradysh stayed out of the Maradysh Civil War despite being the ones who caused it with their trickery. Instead the Caradysh seemed content to let the People and the barbarians fight each other while they did whatever they did and the Daughters of Urth slinked about in the background and away from the fighting.
In fact, the Arthwyd didn't even need to get involved in the end as the rebels and lowlanders were crushed by the Maradysh. That wasn't to say that the Arthwyd did poorly or they didn't help or that their assistance was unwelcome, but as they predicted, the Maradysh were able to handle their enemies.
The Catclaws and Cateyes accounted themselves well as they struck at the flanks, rearguards and vanguards of the enemy forces, ambushing patrols and baiting small warbands into traps to be wiped out. They slew many barbarians with only a few losses of their own.
Yet despite how well they did, the Arthwydish found themselves overshadowed by the Maradysh as they crushed all those that stood against them.
When the Maradysh Civil War began, the Boarfolk amongst them sided with the Arthrynites. They did this despite neither following Arthryn and her Daughters or embracing the northern culture, the Boarfolk had their own culture and religion that they followed. Part of that culture was being loyal and not betraying your leaders.
So when the rebels revealed their treachery and murdered Cadlon Verfyl, the Boarfolk rejected them out of disgust for their betrayal of their Cadlon. They refused to associate with the traitors and despite not having much in common, they firmly threw their lot in with the loyalists with no hesitation or regret.
Back when Vervov invaded the Merntir, the Arthwyd had learnt the power of cavalry and why one could not stand before a charging pack of Boarfolk on their dire boar mounts. In the Maradysh civil war, the loyalists taught that same lesson to the rebels and lowlanders.
Fighting on grassy plains, the Boarfolk crushed the lowlanders and rebels wherever they fought, their boar-riding cavalry smashing apart the barbarian infantry and riding down the survivors. It didn't matter whether they had bows, slings, spears or clubs, they all fell to the Boarfolk cavalry.
Every warband sent by the lowlanders and rebels was crushed when they engage the loyalists in open battle. Before long, the barbarians were on the defensive as the Maradysh advanced on the settlements of the rebels.
Slaughtering whatever defenders that the rebels and lowlanders were able to muster up, the Maradysh took village after village. Deeming them to either be contaminated by the plagues of the lowlands or by the evil magics of the Caradysh, the Maradysh put the populations of the captured settlements to the arrow or spear. They killed every last one so they couldn't spread their taint to the rest of the Maradysh and the Arthwyd, leaving entire villages empty of anyone living there.
Quickly realising what was happening, the rebels begin to put up desperate last-ditch defences as their peoples did their best to flee to the lowlands. While some escaped many did not, as the rebels are overrun by cavalry and large portions of their populace were unable to escape their homes before they got wiped out by the Maradysh.
The Arthwyd were in no position to stop the Maradysh killing every last rebel they got their hands on as when they got to the rebel settlements, they were always too late. Even if they could have had the chance to stop the Maradysh, many doubted whether they could have without resorting to violence as the Maradysh were zealous in their work to keep the 'taint' from spreading.
In the end, the Maradysh Civil War came to a bloody end as the Arthrynites emerged victorious with the rebels either dead or having fled to the lowlands. But it was not without cost.
While the Arthrynites remained relatively unscathed considering the amount of violence and death that had been brought out during the fighting, they only made up half of the Maradysh before the civil war began. The other half of the Maradysh was gone, with the people either dead or having fled while their settlements remained abandoned and devoid of life. It would take many generations for the Maradysh to recover their pre-war strength.
Furthermore, the end of the Maradysh Civil War didn't mean the end of the fighting. The lowlander tribes are still abut with the rebel refugees to the south while the Caradysh remain within the Cursed Forest. Both the Caradysh and the Lowlander Tribes remained enemies of the People and one way or another, they will need to be dealt with.
The Maradysh Civil War is over. What do the Arthwyd do next?

Auto-Diplo? Sounds like a must considering our voting tendencies.

Infrastructure wins everything. Also, peace with the lowlanders will almost certainly cause the Maradysh to go to war with us, and they have cavalry. Until we can get rid of that debilitating belief somehow, we're gonna have to continue to be hostile to the lowlanders or risk losing our vassal.
The boarfolk may or may not be loyal to us, or their own area's cadlon. Kinda wish we could do something about them actually. Like, talk to their priests about bringing the All-Boar into the pantheon or at least allied with it. We seem to be able to get along pretty well.

There's always be folk like me who screams infrastructure everytime we do not take one. However, there's no faction strong enough to advocate for diplomacy.
Don't forget that province action combine with main diplomacy action will be serious synergy.
I'm gonna wait to vote on the react till we know if our vassals are actually ok with peace. If they are I'll vote for peace.
