'''Krawk Island''' is a small island off the southern coast of [[Mystery Island]], discovered on September 5, 2001 but formerly believed to be uninhabited. It has recently prospered as a haven for pirates (although whether for some tactical advantage or use in a trade route has not yet been determined). Krawk Island is notable for its use of [[Dubloon]]s as its primary currency, rather than the much more widely accepted [[Neopoint]]s.

==Attractions==
*'''The Golden Dubloon''': A restaurant, the first of its kind in [[Neopia]]. Charges are made in Dubloons, and on rare occasions [[Neopet]]s may be able to take some leftovers with them from their meal, which act as tradeable items.
*'''The Dubloon-o-Matic''': An automated machine for exchanging Dubloon coins for higher denominations.
*'''The Swashbuckling Academy''': Similar to the [[Training School]] on Mystery Island, but using Dubloons instead of [[Codestone]]s. The academy can only offer its services to relatively low leveled pets, in comparison to the Training School and the [[Secret Ninja School]], but does give free courses to applicable pets on their [[Species]] pet days.
*'''Strange Ship''': On the 3rd August, the [[Strange Ship]] first docked here.
*'''Food Club''': Every day, 20 pirates compete at any of five locations to see who can complete the indicated courses. Each pirate has a particular allergy, which means they may not be able to handle food in that category.

Krawk Island's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team is filled with "loveable winners" who have managed to pull together and win most of their matches. Their fans are the most enthusiastic, but due to the team's failures are also the most suffering. It was hoped [[Altador Cup 2006]] would be the year "Ol' Dash and the gang" would take the win, and despite being expected not even to pass Round 1, they continued to play to Round 3.

Led by forward [["Dasher" Soley]] (who has hinted he may retire after the tournament of 2006) and ''Goalkeeper'' [[Garven Hale]] (whose skills allowed them to progress through the tournament), it was hoped [[Altador Cup 2007]] would be another spectacular year, especially with the addition of defenseman [[Zayle Sufhaux]] (who replaced last year's starter, [[Hoke Lemtry]]). Unfortunately they lost to the "underdog" team that was [[Shenkuu]] on the finals, earning them 4th place.

Hoping that [[Altador Cup III]] was finally their year, Krawk Island was surely the favorite to win 2008. The roster was to be the same, and both veterans "Dasher" Soley and Garven Hale were ready to finally win Krawk Island a cup. After a strong stretch all the way to the finals, they only needed to beat [[Shenkuu]] and [[Roo Island]] to win the cup. After beating Shenkuu, which surely was sweet revenge after losing to the previous year's cup, only Roo Island stood on their way to coveted Altador Cup. But another shocking lost(Like the previous before to Shenkuu) paved way to Krawk Island as they lost to Roo Island to earn them 2nd place.

To [[Altador Cup IV]] Krawk Island went, and they were sure ready to finally win a cup as the sole remaining out of the "Original Four" ([[Haunted Woods]], [[Darigan Citadel]], and Roo Island being the others)to not have won yet. Like the previous year, no roster changes appeared in 2009 so it was now or never, cause "Dasher" Soley seem ready to retire soon. As well like the previous, they blazed through to the Finals, with major accomplishments to major disappointments (ie: A sweep from Kreludor) but still earning them a 2nd seed spot through the finals. After quite a major victory from "[[Yooyuball]]" powerhouse, [[Lost Desert]], they only needed to beat [[Shenkuu]] to finally win. The match between Shenkuu and Krawk Island was a sure classic as this two teams had battled it out many times before, with the two major matches before giving way to a win for both teams, so now this was a deciding factor, who would rein supreme. Finally, Krawk Island had done it, with a intense battle between the pirates and ninjas, Krawk Island finally won the match and with it the Altador Cup earning them their first cup.

'''Shenkuu''' is a mountainous land far North of [[Altador]] in [[Neopia]]. It was made available on September 8, 2006 after the [[Cyodrake's Gaze]] plot. Like the name suggests, Shenkuu is a [[wikipedia:China|Chinese]] themed world, although it takes its design from both China and [[wikipedia:Japan|Japan]]. Shenkuu has been unknown to Neopians for centuries, only to be revealed by the crew of the [[Cyodrake's Gaze]] after they received help from users. Its citizens are cautious of visitors, though this isn't explained why, but nonetheless they have welcomed visitors from all over Neopia, spreading their trade (as it is a merchant town).

==Yooyuball==
Joining the [[Altador Cup]] in 2007, Shenkuu is regarded by [[Altador Cup]] enthusiasts as an exciting young team with plenty of promise, but they were expected not to make much noise in the tournament, having too many holes in their team. The inexperience of goalie [[Xana DiLanche]], the unpredictable health of defender [[Turo Rafels]], and the team's overall lack of tournament play are all serious concerns. However, the stunning talent of young forwards [[Mirsha Grelinek]] and [[Foltaggio]] may cause a few upsets.

The team surpassed expectations by claiming 3rd place in the 2007 Cup after defeating [[Krawk Island]] in the 3rd place game while the following year in [[Altador Cup III]], they dropped down one spot to 4th place. In [[Altador Cup IV]] Shenkuu came second after, shockingly, beating top seed [[Kreludor]] and losing to [[Krawk Island]] in the finals.

==Trivia==
*The name ''Shenkuu'' was first revealed on the [[Kou-jong]] game page accidentally at its first release.
*A [[Neopedia]] article about Shenkuu was released on September 30, 2006, but wasn't uploaded into the servers until October 2, 2006. When users clicked the link in [[New Features]] until this point, they encountered a page saying that Neopedia article didn't exist.
*Shenkuu was nominated for the ''Best Place to Live'' category during the 2008 [[Neopies]].
