64.203.202.199: /* Police Auctions - 626 */ new section

==Front Page Revised==
Front page is going under revision. it's cluttered and sloppy, and i'm going to try and fix that in the next few days. Help where you can, especially with putting character/game pages in their proper [[:Special:Categories|categories]]. Hope to have this settled soon enough...--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 17:24, 6 Mar 2006 (CST)

:Front page is continuing to be revised. This talk page has also been cleared of old discussions...--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 10:35, 31 Mar 2006 (CST)

Could we do something with the front page to make it look more exciting? It's looking a little empty at the moment and it's a shame it doesn't reflect the quality of articles that is now offered at the NeoDex.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:44, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

:I know what you mean. Will look into the next few days and see what can be done. really should take a look at it, as i already made a promise to revise it, at least to myself that is *whaps head*...hmmm...--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:22, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

Okay, I think I'm going to put in a news/FAQ design similar to http://www.tmbw.net/ except with a FAQ instead of that "Getting Started" section. Just an idea for you guys. Thoughts?--[[User:Hermioneelovesron|Hermioneelovesron]] 06:12, 26 Jun 2006 (CDT)

::How about we have some sort of Frontpage Sandbox page where we can all mess around and tinker with how maybe the front page should look? '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 21:34, 24 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

::Alright, I sorta took it upon myself to create that sandbox idea I had on a sub-userpage [[User:NeoEva88/frontpage|here]]. I think it looks good, of course I'd still love some suggestions though. I personally think it's kinda short, but I dunno what other content should be put on there. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 22:38, 24 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

:I like it, good work. It is a bit short, I would just put a bit of whitespace beneath it so it seems to not end so abruptly, at least in the meantime... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

I Like it too. Much more appealing to the eye than what i've had on the front page. :D Shall the "blah blah blah" section be random links? Also, should it be a featured article in the box on the right? it would require to edit the main page every week, which really isn't a big deal though. just wondering what it is we want, as this does seem promising. *thumbs up* --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 12:24, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:We could use a Template:Featured, and copy the text into it each week... Or move it there, or something... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 16:05, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Yeah, a Template:Featured or some equivalent would work better. That's how the Uncyclopedia front page works. Also, the blah links were actually just space fillers because I thought there might be more Special pages or navigation pages we should link to up there, but I didn't know them. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 16:24, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

::I thought maybe to lengthen the front page design we could have a quote of the day section, I got the idea from Wookiepedia. Maybe there aren't too many good quotes for Neopets though, I dunno. I have a little filler box on the bottom of the page that can be used for something. Any other suggestions? '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:25, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

:''Dance Party''!? I'm not quite sure how to respond to that :P! I hope it's only a temporary feature... :S --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Yeah...''Dance Party''...I was bored. :S *ahem* And i've actually made it a permenant feature via [[:Template:Funfiller|template]]. I thought it would be a fun thing for the front page, as it serves two purposes: filler, and fun. will be changing every week along with the featured article...at least that's my intention. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:44, 30 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:I had an idea for a bit of filler... having a row of 100x100 px images, 'snapshots' of each world, with a link to their respective NeoDex page... One thing I think we should avoid would be a list of 'dailies' and links to them... Every fansite, guild homepage, etc etc seems to have them on their front page :P. --[[User:84.13.33.212|84.13.33.212]] 13:36, 30 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Ohh nice idea for the front page.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 09:40, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)

Should be mentioned that the Wishing Well text in bold doesn't actually link to the featured article, it should. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 20:31, 6 Aug 2006 (CDT)'''

=="Wockypedia"?==
Whereas [[wikipedia:Wookieepedia|Wookieepedia]] is the name of the Star Wars Wiki, could we rename the Neopets Wiki to "'''Wockypedia'''"? --[[wikipedia:User:Shultz IV|Shultz IV of Wikipedia]] 21:11, 3 May 2006 (CDT)

:At the moment, '''NeoDex''' is the current name, and will stay that way for the unforseen future.--[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:44, 4 May 2006 (CDT)

:: Funny, I was actually thinking about that name recently - but I thinks the NeoDex has started to become a name synonymous with a Neopets Encyclopedia ;)--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 13:44, 29 May 2006 (CDT)

::: I say it should stay NeoDex, because it's just a whole lot easier to type than Wockypedia. --[[User:LifetimeMembership|LifetimeMembership]]

::I've said it before, I think, but I'm all in favour of 'In-depth Neopedia'. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:::You know, I like name too - it reminds me to keep departments naming consistent - but that would mean I would have to re-name all the departments such as neopool to in-depth colours and avatar catalog to in-depth avatars arrgh @_@--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 18:29, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Oh, I don't know. 'In-depth Trophy Catalogue' has a certain ring to it, I think (:P). Well, 'in-depth rainbow pool' and 'in-depth avatar guide', perhaps... Eh, maybe not :P. Those are both topics which it isn't really possible to get 'in-depth' about, is it? Were you to rename the NeoDex (in that fashion), you could always move the neopool and avatar sections down from full 'department' status to more of a sort of 'guide' level, as they are not so much as a ''collection'' of guides (as IDNQ, IDB, and, of course, the NeoDex ''are'') rather a guide in themselves (if my overworked memory serves me correctly, I believe that the avatar catalogue, at least, used to be just a page in the guides section - although I do not recall whether it was actually listed in the guide section: I remember there used to a link at the top of the PPT main page, or rather, above the news entries, not exactly the ''top'' of the page)... Although, having said that, the approach to the site designs of the neopool and avatar catalogue does have some element of a... hierarchy, if you will - their own sections - that would be difficult (although not necessarily impossible) to integrate within the main body of PPT (I suppose it would really depend on the limits of how your CMS structures the guides themselves, presuming you use a CMS rather than do all the modifications by hand - the PPT NeoDex article is blank on the issue). They could remain 'separate' from the core of PPT but just be listed in guides, I suppose. Mind you, if these sections are headed by two volunteers (other than yourself, Yukio) in much the way Jacob heads the NeoDex, they could become a bit... Miffed, at having their distinction curtailed, if you follow. Of course, another way to go about it would be to divided the departments into two sections, not necessarily a formal boundary per se, but possibly one. Or you could integrate the Neopool and Avatar Catalogue (and trophy catalogue, I suppose) into one bigger section... In-depth Collectibles, perhaps? Sorry, I appear to be blabbering o_O --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:::Phew! Long paragraph, but worth of course :) Constructive ideas always appreciated of course as it only betters the site. I'll read this through closely and then see what I can implement.--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 09:41, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Article Suggestion==
Item Registry. Y'know, a huge list of all Neopia's items sorted by type (neohome, food, faerie quests, toys, etcetera etcetera). I'd be willing to undertake the majority of it, with some help. -[[User:LifetimeMembership|LifetimeMembership]]

:There is already an article titled [[Item]], where wiki links to each of type of item can be talked about, and there is also a [[:category:Items|category]] for items, but the NeoDex, will ''not'' be a place for listing all the items of Neopets. maybe in the future, but at this time i see no such thing. articles for items ''can'' be made, but only noteable items, as i'm sure an article titled "Bread" as in the food item bread is a waste of space. And if one really wants a list of all the items of Neopets, all they have to do is go to [[NeoItems.net]]. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 20:54, 9 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Oh, okay then. -[[User:LifetimeMembership|LifetimeMembership]]

:Perhaps a page for each of the hidden tower items? Other that that, I agree wholeheartedly with Jacob.--[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 04:35, 25 Jul 2006 (CDT)

==Neodex logo?==
What should we do for the Neodex logo? Is the general consensus that the Blumaroo stays? I don't happen to like the Blumaroo much, and it's not a good logo to put in other places. Just a thought. '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 10:23, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)'''

:I think the Blumaroo writing on a paper is fine, and doesn't need to be updated. If it should recieve more negative feedback though, i'm wondering what it would be changed to. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:57, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::I'm happy for a change, if we can get in a better logo :)--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 18:27, 27 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:How about a Blumaroo sitting at a desk with a quill, constructed entirely of pieces of a jigsaw a la the wikipedia/uncyclopedia logos? Or virtupets space station constructed of such. It's almost spherical, so it could be identified easily with the wikipedia logo, and being spherical it would not be too difficult to create the logo to a high level of precision for it to be identifiable, and the Vitrupets space station is a recognisable icon of Neopia. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 23:20, 29 Jul 2006 (CDT)

::Now that is a really good idea! Anyone here do graphic artistry by any chance?--[[User:Yukio|Yukio]] 09:42, 31 Jul 2006 (CDT)

:::Yeah, I was thinking about Virtupets a bit too, something round at least. I don´t like the idea of it being made out of jigsaw pieces though, it doesn´t need to be ''that'' much like Wikipedia. I just think something round that would seem a bit suggestive would work. (The [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Wookiepedia] logo being an excellent example.) '''--[[User:NeoEva88|NeoEva88]] 11:49, 1 Aug 2006 (CDT)'''

I think it should be one faerie from each type... that would be cool. Who agrees? --unsigned by 71.92.99.181 03:37, 5 May 2007

:At the moment, a new logo isn't in the works, but ideas are always welcome. :) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 23:08, 4 May 2007 (CDT)

::I've added a new logo to the NeoDex --> It's an Ixi readin a big dusty book / tomb. You know how cool those tombs get. :) At least now there isn't the default image that use to be there. --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 14:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

==Front Page Revamp 8/1/2007==
Can we revert to the old version while the page is being overhauled? And have possibly new versions on subpages for a later editor review? --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 00:41, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)

:I don't know...I'm kind of smitten with the new look (duh, it's mine ;P ). But if there are some tidbits to go over before it goes fully up, I suppose it's fair. All the same, what do you think of what I currently set up? I took out a lot of links in the summariezed TOC, seeing as it was originally random. Where would you like the "testing zone" for the new front page look to be? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 01:04, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)

::It's nice, yeah, although the way the featured template is much longer than its adjacent box detracts from it a bit. I just think that if we are going to overhaul the front page, the change could be a bit more drastic, hence would probably need general consensus ;¬). --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 19:02, 1 Aug 2007 (UTC)

==NeoDex coding updated==
It would seem the NeoDex coding has been updated...wh00t? :D Though it seems a lot of things have changed, along with some things that seem broken. It will be dealt with in due time I am sure, but for now, I'm glad to see progress is being made for this. What does everyone else think? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 10:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

:Yup, the PHP and mediawiki are now updated ^^. New wikicodes are now accessible (We can finally resize image without modifying the original image). --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 10:34, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

::Image URLs no longer form the embedded image, though. This is going to take a lot of work to fix, as it's quite a widespread issue, but hopefully it'll pay off in the long run. It's worse on pages such as [[Altador Cup II]] where the images not being displayed in line are causing some layout issues. --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 02:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

:::I've enabled the upload function again which was disabled when the back-end was upgraded. Should be working again. I'll also get a graphic designer to design a new WIKI logo. --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 04:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

::::Unfortunately the upload feature is still disabled at the moment. As for the embedded image, we do have a choice of [[wikipedia:Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Embedding_external_images|enabling it again]] if required. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 16:41, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

:::::Thanks for the link to fixing the code. I've enabled embedding images again so that should fix up a lot of the issues right there. :) The uploading feature has also been enabled again. (Upgrading the code had some slight code changes which set a couple of things to their default values. If there is anything you guys ever want switched on/off, just leave a note here. :) --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 08:10, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

::::::They're working now, thank you. :) But for some strange reason, some articles still do not display the embedded images even though their history do. We'll just have to manually re-save those articles again to bring back the embedded images... --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] ( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] ) 09:55, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

The one thing I do miss is the necessary log in of users in order to have them even edit articles. Now we're back to the age of having IPs edit articles. What's everyone's view on this? Has it been good or bad overall? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

==Nominating this page for protection?==
I'm not really sure how to request this or anything, so I'll just post it here and see what people think. It seems this page (Talk: Main Page) has been the target of a lot of vandalism. Maybe you guys could semi-protect it? I don't really know how it all works, so feel free to critique my idea :P
[[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 21:28, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

:Requesting such a thing can be done here on on an admins talk page. I've made the necessary protections in either case. ;) --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 07:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

::Thank you for the quick response :) Next time, I'll be sure to do it in the right place :P Sorry for posting it in the wrong place [[User:Siouxper|Siouxper]] 14:07, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

== Oldddddddddd Wiki ==

Wow, this place hasn't been edited for a while, like if it was abandoned. I mean, the Main Page hasn't been edited for 1½ years!!!--[[User:Ogrin|Ogrin]] 23:02, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, really. The featured article hasn't changed since the wiki was founded. -- [[User:10-Volt|10-Volt]] 01:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

:I can assure you it's not abandoned, [[Special:Recentchanges|changes are taking place all the time]]. And the featured article has [[NeoDex:Featured Articles|changed a lot]]... --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 03:25, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

== Seriously ==
Why are we inline linking from Neopets? Just want to steal the bandwidth? [[User:4Ply|4Ply]] 23:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
:The point of [[Special:Imagelist|wiki images]] is so that we don't use their bandwidth. If you see any normal images, upload them onto the NeoDex: [[Special:Upload]], [[NeoDex:Image use policy]] --[[User:Dizzy|Dizzy]] 23:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== Admin Change Coming ==

The status quo is changing in the admin department, and we want your thoughts and opinons! Head over to the [[NeoDex_talk:Community_Portal#New_Head.2Fadditional_Head_Admin_needed|talk page of the community portal]] to have your say, and see history in the making! There will be cake. --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 08:08, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

==2009 revamp==

I'm looking to remodel the front page and a bit of how the wiki works over the next few weeks... Part of some of the things I've been talking about with Kym to link in better with the Pink Poogle Toy community, and hopefully to make everything look a bit fresher and more accessible to new editors. So, heads up, intention in writing. ;) --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 20:31, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
:Looks very nice! :) I thought PinkPT was dead (seeing the boards), but I'll perhaps contribute here now. --[[Special:Contributions/207.177.111.34|207.177.111.34]] 17:23, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

==Image Upload Broken?==
Is anyone else having trouble uploading images? I get an "Internal error: The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver. " error everytime I try to upload something. Who do I even talk to about these kinds of problems?- [[User:emeraldosprey|emeraldosprey]]
:Same problem here, dude. [[User:Journey to the Lost Isle-er]] 19:33, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

==New-new layout==

So good they named it twice. This new version (the version as of 8th November 2010) is meant to look a bit cleaner and fresher than the last version (which had been essentially unchanged for 18 months). It was born out of a need to make the layout sturdier (the boxes had started going different sizes), and I decided to incorporate some aesthetic changes as well. I think it's a bit tidier.

Also, clever though the obubble and ibubble templates were, they made it damn hard to maintain, so I've not reused them for this layout. I want to leave them on the system for a bit so the page works in the history, though. For comparisons, you know.

Questions, complaints, and comments, as always, discuss below. =) --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 17:42, 8 November 2010 (CST)

Hoban

64.203.155.173:

[[Image:Hoban HTD.gif|right|frame|Hoban ''How to Draw'' final image.]]

'''Hoban''' (also known as ''Hoban the Navigator'') is a [[Yellow]] [[Aisha]], and the navigator of [[The Cyodrake's Gaze]]. His personality varies according to the different accounts of other crew members upon the merchant ship, but he is basically portrayed as being an informal, slightly bad tempered, generally cheerful character. The contents of his shoulder bag also varies slightly in each account.

==Plot summary==
===The Cyodrake's Gaze===
:''Main Article: [[The Cyodrake's Gaze]]''

''...to be added...''

==Trivia==
{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/items/cgp_hobans_hat.gif
|}
*One of the plot prizes for The Cyodrake's Gaze was '''Hobans Hat''', a [[weapon]] for the [[Battledome]], showing that Hoban's hat was more than just for show (as the item description says). Interestingly, the real Hoban's hat does not give off yellow smoke/mist, like the prize does, and it has never been shown doing anything magical in the comics or anywhere else.
*''How To Draw'' tutorial added September 30, 2006.
*Neopedia article was added September 29, 2007.
*To date, no other male Aishas have been featured in plots.
*Hoban appears on the cover of the book [http://www.neopets.com/search.phtml?selected_type=object&string=Extreme%2BShenkuu Extreme Shenkuu], though his shoulder bag is a different color, his hair appears to be styled differently, and he is wearing red pants on the book's cover.
*After he threatened to sail the ''Cyodrake's Gaze'' into a storm, one really did come upon the ship, implying that he may have psychic powers like [[Isca]] and [[Caylis]], or the power to control the skies or the sea, or both. Hoban and the two aforementioned Aishas share vaguely similar hair colour and a strong association with the sea.
*The name 'Hoban' likely comes from the TV series Firefly, as is suggested by the "Leaf on the Wind" avatar.

Lost Desert Plot

2006-07-23T20:53:46Z

64.203.8.73: /* The Scroll Repository */

[[Image:Ldbiglogo.jpg|right]]The '''Lost Desert Plot''' ran from August 30th through November 29th, 2005. This puzzle [[Plot]] revolved around [[Tomos]], [[Nabile]], [[Jazan]] and [[Amira|Princess Amira]], all new characters to the world of Neopia.

The Neopets Lost Desert Plot was one of the more comprehensive plots [[Neopets]] had ever released. Not only were the puzzles difficult, it is the first time Neopets implemented a plot which required people to actively participate if they wanted to progress. The large '''Temple of 1,000 Tombs''', unique to each user and requiring extensive mapping, as well as the enormously large '''Scroll Repository''' brought on a phenomenon known as '''OLDPD''' (Obsessive Lost Desert Plot Disorder).

During the beginning, most of the participants barely left their computers for fear of missing out on an important event that would possibly exclude them out of the plot; this would not be the case, however.

Extremely long waiting times, sometimes weeks long, drove Neopets’ users crazy with anticipation for new clues and/or parts to be released that would allow them to continue. This, combined with increasingly harder tasks sometimes taking 5-6 hours to complete, eventually weeded out most of those who had been there from the start.

[[The Neopets Team]] portrayed the marriage of Jazan and Nabile as the end of the plot.

On November 29th, 2005, the real ending was released. This second ending, involving the return and defeat of [[Razul]], tied up several loose ends and tied in the end of the puzzle part of the plot.

After a long wait, the prizes were awarded on January 30th, 2006.

==The Plot==
===Marriage Proposal===
Jazan took hostage the city of [[Sakhmet]]...

===The Scroll Repository===
The [[Desert Scarabs]]' leaders followed Jazan into the ruins...

===Razul===
Razul attacked...

==Battledome==

While it was a puzzle plot, the [[Battledome]] was used as part of the puzzle solving.

The ''furniture mover'' statistics were never released, said to be stolen. It may be a joke on [[The Neopets Team]]s part, as they say they can't continue to find the statistics, as the Sakhmet guards are looking for those who stole [[The Foreman]]s missing toenail polish, and can't bother to look into something as furniture. It's generally believed the [[TNT]] lost the data, or had no way to gauge how many were taken into the Scroll Repository.

Dr. Frank Sloth

'''Dr. Frank Sloth''' is an insane scientist bent on the destruction of [[Neopets]] and [[Neopia]]. Was once stopped by the [[Space Faerie]] in [[Arrival of Virtupets]], and has since been working underground, creating evil plans and giving out Transmogrification Potions to clueless Neopians.

Currently in the works of attacking the Space Station and Kreludor while mascarading around Neopia as '''The Happiness [[Faerie]]'''. Like [[Jelly World]], it is an inside joke in that despite The Happiness Faerie being poorly disguised with cardboard wings, no one can ''put their finger on'' who the Faerie is similar to.

==Plot Info==
===Arrival of Virtupets===
:''Main Article: [[Arrival of Virtupets]]''

In August 2000, [[The Neopets Team]] ran a plot in which Dr. Sloth came to Neopia with a giant, orbital [[Virtupets Space Station|space station]] and mutation ray, with plans of taking over Neopia and repopulating it with his Virtupets. In an encoded message, however, it was revealed that he actually intended to mutate all the Neopets of the planet. He was stopped by the Space Faerie, who reversed Dr Sloth's mutation ray and caused it to explode, leaving the abandoned station in orbit.

===Neopet Version 2===

When he left the Space Station, he left behind an experiment called [[Neopet Version 2]], which took hostage Neopets on vacation.

===Hannah and the Ice Caves===
:''Main Article: [[Hannah and the Ice Caves]]''

A mock ending was made for [[Hannah and the Ice Caves: Plot|Hannah and the Ice Caves]], where Dr. Sloth appeared and changed [[Hannah]] into a [[Mutant]], claiming revenge against her for cancelling his own plot. A few users were able to catch it before it was reverted to the true ending.

==Trivia==
*It is implied in the [http://www.neopets.com/termsfaq.phtml Neopets.com T&C FAQ] that Dr Sloth's full name is Francis Q. Slothberg Esq.
*[[Random Event]]s which sloth is part of...
**''A robot flies past you on fire! Help! Help! Dr. Sloth is after me!''
*Being one of the most famous [[Villain]]s of Neopia, he has many items created in his image, There are also a few avatars for Dr. Sloth:

*Although Dr. Sloth bears most resemblance to the Neopet [[Chia]], it's uncertain if he even is one. In the editorial of issue 239 of the [[Neopian Times]], it was asked what Neopet he was, and the answer was interupted by Dr. Sloth himself, angered that someone would consider such a thing.

King Altador

2006-07-04T22:25:23Z

64.203.8.73: corrected spelling

'''King Altador''' is the ruler and founder of [[Altador]], the kingdom that bears his name. A noble [[Lupe]] and hunter, he was was the original gatherer of the 12 heroes of Altador.

==Plot Summaries==
===Neopets: The Darkest Faerie===
During the events of [[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]], he was refered to as ''The Old Knight'' by [[Tormund]] when he was about to be overwhelmed by theives within [[Meridell]](was called so until finding his true name within the walls of Altador). When Tormund as feeling helpless at what to do during a time of danger for Meridell, it was Altador's words which gave him the courage to fight for the people, and not wait for others to tell him what to do.

During Tormund's fight with [[Gnarfas]], Altador knocked the [[Werelupe]] to the ground from behind, saying they must escape the danger before it became to great, only too be attacked from behind himself by the [[Werelupe King]].

Gave his sword to Tormund when he went to search the deep catacombs of Altador to release [[Jerdana]] from stone.

===Altador Plot===
With the resurfacing of Altador, it is shown the history of the city is lost. By finding constellations within the sky depicting the 12 heroes, more of the history of the city is remembered. Altador's constillation is ''The Hunter''.

'''From the Book of Ages'''
<blockquote>''It is a little-known fact that Altador, the Lupe hunter, did not name the city that bears his name after himself. Rather, when the time came to name their future city, all twelve council members submitted a name by placing their ballot into a box. As Altador pulled each piece of parchment from the box, he was surprised to find that everyone but he had written "Altador" as their suggestion. In a single action, Altador demonstrated his hallmark humility and sincerity, and the loyalty he inspired in others.'' 
''The heroism of Altador cannot be described in a single event, however. Rather, a lifetime of noble deeds and good character earned him the title of "hero."'' 
''Altador was raised in a city of corrupt leaders. One by one, his neighbours left to seek a better life. Before long, little was left of Altador's hometown. The citizens wandered, looking for somewhere to make a new start. Though still young, Altador did his best to help by hunting for food. It was during this time that he began to develop his skills with the bow and arrow.'' 
''The townsfolk soon settled and built a new village. Though they prospered, life was difficult without a city's resources.'' 
''There were no great festivals, and trade with other lands was minimal. Once an adult, Altador left to seek out a new city, one with good and just leaders. The villagers gave him their blessing, hoping that one day he would return and lead them to a brighter future.'' 
''And so Altador set out, travelling from one city to another. Along his journey, he kept hearing similar stories about the governors of each place he visited. Greed and an insatiable lust for power appeared to be widespread, and the governed always seemed to suffer for it. Altador might have lost hope, and given up his quest, had it not been for one fateful day.'' 
''Altador crested a hill and saw lush plains, perfect for farming, beside a beautiful shore. This would be an amazing place for a city, he thought, staring in awe across the fruitful land. Too bad there isn't one here already.'' 
''And then it came to him: Could he, a simple Lupe with no desire for wealth or power, be capable of founding a great city? Even if he could, it would take many years of work. How could he possibly accomplish such an undertaking all on his own?'' 
''He would have to find others who shared the same dream--others who would swear to uphold what is right over what is easy, and not fall into corruption.'' 
''Determined to make his dream a reality, Altador set off. It would take years, but he would find others to join him in building his city. In every town he met, the Lupe listened for tales of great deeds, striving to find others who could share in his dream. He would then gather all those living in the scattered villages across the land--including the one he had called home so long ago. Finally, he would unite them under one banner, which would represent truth and virtue... forever.''</blockquote>
