The '''Eyrie''' is a [[Wikipedia:Griffin|griffin]]-like Neopet from the tropical climates of [[Neopia]]. They can be very playful but also ferocious at times, especially if their territory is threatened. Their great sense of adventure can sometimes overwhelm their equally strong desire to learn.

The Eyrie was originally called the [[List of Neopet redesigns#Eyrie|Cerpull]] which looked more like a typical [[wikipedia:European dragon|European dragon]] than a griffin. The Cerpull was renamed the Tatsu on the 13th of July, 2000. For this change they removed a nose horn, shortened the "beak", and changed the spiked back into a head-to-tail mullet. On January 26 the following year, the Tatsu was renamed yet again, to the Eyrie. This name change accompanied a complete transformation to today's anatomy. In redesigning the Tatsu, [[TNT]] held a Pick-A-Tatsu competition.

In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of Air.

==Battledome==

The '''Gelert''' is a [[Wikipedia:Greyhound|greyhound]]-like creature that was added to [[Neopets]] on [http://www.neopets.com/newfeatures/jan2000.phtml January 25, 2000] as the '''Polypup'''. On [http://www.neopets.com/newfeatures/july2000.phtml July 19th, 2000] the Polypup's name changed to Gelert and its look was updated.

On [http://www.neopets.com/nf.phtml?nf_date=2001-10-29 November 2nd, 2001] [[TNT]] added the [http://www.neopets.com/comps/gelert.phtml Pick-The-Gelert Competition] which featured 5 new designs for members to pick from. Both Gelerts #5 and #2 officially won (although the joke design, #3, actually had the most votes) so the two designs were combined and the final version was released on [http://www.neopets.com/nf.phtml?nf_date=2001-11-26 29th November 2001].

In general, Gelerts are described as being very loyal and brave. They value friendship above all else and so are very faithful to those they consider a friend. In the [[Neopets TCG|Neopets Trading Card Game]], Gelerts are associated with the element of fire.

==Battledome==
In the Battledome, Gelerts have no natural resistances, however they do have six species [[abilities]]:

*''Gelert Jump'' - Attack: 2 - 3 x Air, 2 - 3 x Earth; Defence: none; available from level 1;
*''Gelert Bark'' - Attack: 2 Air; Defence: none; available from level 1;
*''Gelert Flash'' - Attack 1 - 2 Physical; Defense: none; available from level 1;

'''The Faeries' Ruin''' is a [[plot]] that started on 20 September, 2010 (publicly announced on the 21st) where during the [[Faerie Festival]], all the [[Faerie]]s in the world mysteriously turned to stone. It stars several characters who have appeared in previous plots, including [[Jazan]] of [[Lost Desert Plot]] fame and [[King Altador]], as well as several new characters. During the course of the plot, all activities that involve faeries have been suspended - from the games and shops on [[Faerieland]] to the [[Neggery]] and the [[Cooking Pot]], due to the faeries' condition.

Like [[The Cyodrake's Gaze]] plot, this plot makes use the the technique of [[wikipedia:unreliable narrator|unreliable narrator]]s.

==Plot summary==

At the Faerie Festival, [[Hanso]] the Ixi was looking for things to steal. Whatever jewellery the Faeries were wearing was turned to stone with them, but plenty of their possessions were not on their person and were left unaltered. Hanso was not the only visitor to the Festival - shortly after Hanso arrived, King Altador and his guards, and [[Brynn]], who was sent by [[King Hagan]], arrived on the scene to investigate the curse. Hanso revealed himself and tried to sell them information, closely followed by King Jazan, who revealed he had been tailing Hanso after he saw him stealing from the fossilised faeries. Jazan accused Hanso of being involved in the curse.

Altador asked if [[Jazan]] was there to free the faeries from the curse, to which hesitantly responded he was. Although Jazan did not trust him, Brynn reminded Altador that Hanso was their only lead, and they agreed to hear him out.

Hanso explained that he was on the way to the festival - "You mean you were going to steal from the faeries at their festival." - he saw [[Hubrid Nox]], who was holding a shiny artefact and chanting an incantation. After a blinding flash of light, Nox had vanished and all the faeries were stone. Although Jazan and Altador doubted Hubrid Nox would be powerful enough to affect all the faeries, Brynn vouched that he would have no reason to lie, and that the artefact Hanso claimed to have seen may have something to do with it.

The group headed in to Faerie City to see [[Xandra]], a [[Xweetok]] who too was investigating the curse. On seeing Hanso, however, she became enraged - he had stolen several valuable artefacts from her hut earlier.

Hanso confessed that while he didn't lie about seeing Hubrid Nox, it wasn't the whole truth - he had broken into Xandra's hut, too. "It's a pretty good story, actually..."

Hanso explained that after he had stolen from Xandra, he put the word out that he had four magical artefacts to fence. He was contacted by a buyer who wanted to meet in Faerieland - Hubrid Nox. Nox was only interested in one of the artefacts, and Hanso tailed him to see what he would do with it: as Hanso had already explained, he chanted, there was a flash of light, and all the faeries turned to stone. Xandra still didn't trust Hanso's word, but Brynn and Altador were convinced, and went to recover the artefact from Nox before he could do any more damage with it.

The group - Hanso under guard - arrived at [[Castle Nox]] in the [[Haunted Woods]]. As they formed their plan to storm the stronghold, Hanso slipped away. Brynn went after him - as Nox could appear any second, they couldn't afford to delay their plan.

Brynn found Hanso climbing over the wall away from the front gates - he said that he would find his own way in.

{{cq|And how do I know you're not going in there to tip [[Hubrid Nox|him]] off?}}
{{cq|Well, if you don't trust me, you could always stop me.}}

As soon as Hanso snuck in through one of the castle windows, he was spotted by Nox. Hanso asked Nox about the artefact - but Nox didn't seem to know what he was talking about. At that moment, an alarm went off, and Nox saw through his crystal ball Altador and the others storming the gates. Nox opened a secret passageway, threw the crystal ball, and made good his escape.

Brynn rushed in and the door sealed behind her - through the crystal ball, Hanso and Brynn could see the others were sealed in as well. The pair followed the secret passageway Nox escaped through - Brynn all the while berating Hanso for letting Nox escape - and found a strange wooden control board.

Meanwhile, out in the Haunted Woods, Hubrid Nox ran away from his castle, gloating over his escape - before running straight into another Hubrid Nox, who blasted him to the ground.

After Brynn and Hanso used the control panel to help the rest of the heroes escape, Jazan accused Hanso of letting Nox escape and blamed him for getting trapped in the castle. Although Hanso protested that he helped them get out of the castle, they overruled him, and decided to proceed without him. They argued over where Nox could have gone, when Faerieland, surrounded by sinister purple clouds and crackling lightning, appeared overhead. Altador suggested that the faerie's condition had adversely affected the city, when the group was attacked from all sides by shadowy monsters.

Jazan reasoned that the monsters they were fighting could not belong to Nox, as his minions are ghosts. Hanso and Altador realised that the wraiths were distracting them from the sinking Faerieland, and between waves, they resolved to split up. Brynn would go to Brightvale's library to see if there was anything they could use, and take Hanso to the dungeons there. Xandra said she should research more on faerie artefacts as well. The rest of the team would remain to see if the wraiths led them to Nox.

Brynn and Hanso reminisced as to the first time they met, and after a while Xandra excused herself to go to her own books. When they reached Brightvale, they noticed the colour seemed to have gone from it. Brynn dutifully locked Hanso up, but promised she would return after going to the library.

Brynn found a book with a picture of a larger artefact that resembled the one Hanso stole. She showed him the book in his jail sell when sounds of a battle reached them - Brightvale was under attack. She gave Hanso the book to look after as she rushed off to help. After she left, Hanso used his belt to grab his [[wikipedia:lock picking|lock picking]] equipment from outside the cell and broke out. He called for the guards, and as they rushed in, smacked their heads together. As he left, leaving them dazed, he noticed something about them, but dismissed it.

==Plot participation==

The player can participate in this plot, like in the [[Tale of Woe]], by solving puzzles that are released after certain chapters of the story. Solving puzzles, and solving them in specific ways, earns the player achievements called ''Fearless Deeds''.

The first puzzle was linked to at the bottom of the second chapter. The second puzzle, by contrast, had to be found in the [[Deserted Fairground]] of the [[Haunted Woods]], like the puzzles in the [[Tale of Woe]] plot. The third step was a battle which took place in the [[Battledome]], and had a dedicated page to keep track of its progress.

===Xandra's Library===
The first task the user is asked to do is to guide Hanso in a 'retelling' of his first encounter with Xandra. The player must move Hanso around Xandra's library and pick up the four artefacts - which are each glowing green - and then make it to the exit, without Xandra shooting Hanso with magic.
{| style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"

|http://images.neopets.com/faerieland/tfr_fa61c26562/p1_34602d0d6f/art4.png
|}
If Hanso is hit, or if he leaves the library without getting all the artefacts, it is presented as an error in the story - Xandra or Hanso will say that that wasn't how it happened, and the user can try again.

Also in the library are three items that are not glowing. These are bonus items, and can be collected in addition to the artefacts. If Hanso escapes with all the artefacts and with one or more of these bonus items, the bonus items will appear in the player's [[inventory]].
{| style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"

|}
The player moves Hanso by clicking a square adjacent to him that is not blocked by a table, a bookshelf, a wall, Xandra, or a pile of rubble. The player then clicks anywhere on the map to see what Xandra's move was - she may shout at the player, run after him, teleport to a random location in the library, or shoot a blast of magic across the map. Unlike Hanso, she does not run diagonally, and nor can she shoot her magic diagonally.

After Hanso has escaped, the library task may be replayed to obtain other achievements or the rest of the bonus items.

====Fearless Deeds====
*'''The Artefact Thief''' - ''Hanso, a well-known rogue and thief, breaks into an old library inhabited by Xandra, a renowned scholar, and steals several valuable artefacts.''
*: Complete the puzzle by escaping with all four artefacts.
*'''Ooh, Shiny!''' - ''Pick up the artefact that started this whole mess.''
*: Pick up the mirror artefact - the player doesn't need to escape with it.
*'''The Task at Hand''' - ''Avoid being distracted by irrelevant fripperies.''
*: Escape with all the glowing artefacts but without any bonus items - this is also earnt if the puzzle is completed after all the bonus items have been taken on previous play-throughs.
*'''Proximity Warning''' - ''Narrowly escape Xandra's scholarly wrath.''
*: Be at some point within one square of Xandra but still escape.

===Castle Nox===
The second task bridges chapter four and chapter five - the player is asked to solve a puzzle using Nox's control panel to allow the rest of the adventurers, who are locked in the castle, to escape. The other heroes are divided into three groups, distributed across the the four floors - second, first, ground, and basement - of the castle. They must be guided to the front door on the ground floor.

The layout of each of the floors is randomised each time the puzzle is played. The location of each group is denoted by a risen bronze peg. The doorways between the rooms are colour-coded red, green, or blue. They player can open all the red doors, or all the green doors, or all the blue doors, at once. If some of the heroes are in a room where one of the doors open, they will go through it into a different room.

The player has to choose five colours at a time, which then open in sequence. The player chooses these colours by clicking the light bulbs at the bottom of the control panel. The brass arrow cycles through the three colour choices as the player clicks. Once all five colours have been assigned, the doors open sequential left to right. Only one set of coloured doors can be open at a time - opening the green doors after you've opened the red doors will shut all the red doors.

In certain room are staircases - when a group enters a room with a staircase, they will immediately go up or down it and out of the room at the other end. In other rooms, there are certain traps, as denoted by small grey tiles on the control panel. These traps - from [[Wadjet]]s - [[wikipedia:Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark|"Why did it have to be Wadjets?"]] - to [[scarab]]s (a reference to the [[Lost Desert Plot]]) - cause the group affected to miss whatever door opens next. Three of the tiles are not traps - one is a gold key, which must be found and used to unlock the front door - one is a room full of [[Usuki]]s, and one is a room full of [[ice cream]].

If two or more pegs reach the same room, the groups will join up and be represented as only one peg. This new group will stay together from then on. The group who found the key - or whatever group they eventually joined up with - must reach the front door first to unlock it for themselves and the others.

If a group is in a room where more than one door opens, they may not necessarily go into the room the player intended. The decision appears to be arbitrary. 

This puzzle can also be played more than once to achieve all the Fearless Deeds.

====Fearless Deeds====
*'''Nox's Locks''' - ''The heroes are trapped in Nox's castle! But Hanso and Brynn have found some kind of strange machine that might let them help the others escape.''
*: Collect the key and get all three characters to the exit. Due to a [http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=143668561 bug] when this puzzle was first released, it may not have been achieved when the puzzle was completed successfully, although this was later fixed.
*'''We All Scream''' - ''Everyone loves an ice-cold bowl of [[wikipedia:Chunky Monkey|Chintzy Mynci]]... even Hubrid Nox.''
*: All three characters, together or separately, must pass through the ice cream room and escape. This gives the player the [[Spooky Food|Spooky]] [[Food]] ''Giant Tub of Ice Cream''.
*'''[[wikipedia:Fort Knox|Fort Nox]]''' - ''There's gold in them thar halls!''
*: One of the rooms with no more than two different coloured doors will trigger this when a group is in it and a colour not represented by the doors is selected - e.g. in a room with red and blue doors, choosing green causes a 'secret' door to open, visible to the group in the maze, with the treasure in. Which room it is, and which colour door must be opened, is random. This gives the player the [[toy]] [[item]] ''Hubrid Nox Treasure Chest'', which can be opened to obtain a [[Spooky Petpet]].
*'''[[wikipedia:The Three Musketeers|And One For All]]''' - ''"After you." "No, after you." "No, I insist! After you."''
*: Exit through the gold doors with all three characters together.

===Shadow Wraiths===
The third step involves players' [[Neopet]]s reinforcing the heroes in battle, joining one-player fights in the [[Battledome]] against three types of ghostly Shadow Wraiths - [[Shadow Wraith Minion]], [[Shadow Wraith Brute]], and [[Shadow Wraith Fury]]. The different types of wraiths were released over the weekend of 8-10 October, one per day, with increasing difficulty (beginning at 8, 25, and 40 hit points respectively).

Wraiths are released in waves, and all of the wraiths must be defeated before new waves of any type arrive. No other one-player Battledome opponents are available during this time except for [[Punchbag Bob]]. This step is collaborative - the totally statistics take into account all the players who have participated across [[Neopets|the site]], and the number of wraith a player can fight in any wave is reduced by how many wraith have being beaten by other players.

{| style="margin-right:auto; margin-left:auto" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"

|-
|colspan="3" style="text-align:center;"|From left to right, Shadow Wraith Minion, Shadow Wraith Brute, and Shadow Wraith Fury.
|}

A kill cap was introduced - 50, 40, and 30 wins for the minion, brute, and fury respectively. A wraith defeated through a win or a draw counts towards this cap. While a player can continue to fight beyond this cap so as to get to speed up the next wave or to participate in higher tiers (see below), those kills will not count towards their plot score. After ''all'' the win caps have been reached, if a player continues to fight wraith, they have the chance of winning a bonus item after each win.

Battling these Wraiths can decrease the fighting Neopet's happiness.

|}

This step introduced a battle page that keeps track of the progress of the total battle. It records when each opponent was released and lists the total numbers of each opponent that have been defeated. It also records progress to each of the tiers.

The total hoard is divided up into tiers of 750,000 kills totalled across every participant on [[Neopets|the site]]. Participating in a tier - by defeating a wraith during it - qualifies the player for a prize when that tier is defeated. even if they have already reached the kill cap. The prize is not unveiled until the end of the tier. On 13 October at 22:36 [[NST]], the waves stopped coming, and tier 9 was left incomplete.

The page also gives updates on the battle from the principle cast:
* During waves:
** ''Brynn'': There's no time to waste! We've got to defeat these... whatever they are... before they wear us down!
** ''Hanso'': Well, hand-to-hand combat isn't my ''best'' skill, honestly, but if any of those creatures slip past the others, I suppose I'll have to make short work of 'em.
** ''Altador'': We are under attack, my friends! Get yourself into the battle at once. There's not a moment to lose!
** ''Xandra'': Ugh! I should have stayed in my library. At least I can do some damage to these... these... whatever they are!
** ''Jazan'': These foul spirits are no match for our strength! They'll have felt our wrath before the day is through!
** ''Ogrin'': An enemy's greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. We must use these creatures' power to our advantage.
* Between waves:
** ''Brynn'': It's going to be tough if this keeps up. Those monsters give me the creeps.
** ''Hanso'': That was pretty easy. Sure, I didn't do much ''actual'' damage, but I'm worth any three of the others.
** ''Altador'': Rest while you can, my friends. We've defeated this wave, but we may be attacked again.
** ''Xandra'': That was a tough fight. I'm glad we were able to hold out, but... what about next time?
** ''Jazan'': Such weak enemies. They will be no match for our might, should they rise against us again.
** ''Ogrin'': The warrior who waits until the most opportune moment has the greatest victory. Now is the time to rest.

While the [[Skeith]] soldier provides [[wikipedia:comic relief|comic relief]]:
* I'll go back to the battle, just as soon as I find my contact lense.
* Every time I look at one of those wraiths, I see my life pass before my eyes. Hey, there's the time I ate fifty doughnuts on a dare!
* Wow, Jazan sure can be a vicious fighter! I'm glad he's on our side.
* I'll guard Hanso. Got to make sure that clever thief doesn't escape!
* I never like to fight on an empty stomach.
* I could help fight, but I think Altador has things under control.
* Why spooky wraiths? Couldn't we get attacked by some fluffy [[Babaa]]s?
* Why couldn't I have gone to culinary school like my mother said I should?
* Does anyone else feel cold? I should have brought my coat.
* Did someone say ice cream?
* This is the most excitement I've had all year!

===The Finneus J. Scrollbottom Auxiliary Surplus Archives===
Refreshing at the map of [[Brightvale]] eventually causes a text link to appear beneath it, reading "You notice a strange door on one side of the castle... how odd." - some people have reported having to turn [http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865/ Adblock] or [http://noscript.net/ NoScript] off in their browsers before it would appear. The link leads to [http://www.neopets.com/medieval/archives.phtml the Brightvale archives], where a relative of the grumpy [[Yurble]] [[The Foreman|foreman]] is trying to get the library organised for Brynn. Mistaking the player for a library intern he requested, he orders them to get to work sorting out one of the archive's many rooms.

The user must access the archives by clicking on the link beneath the Brightvale map first before they will be able to use the direct link above to get there. After it has been accessed, the link will appear above the Brightvale map, reading "Visit the Finneus J. Scrollbottom Auxiliary Surplus Archives".

{{cq|Get down into the archives and find an unoccupied room! We need those shelves organized so that the captain here can find the book she's looking for!}}

{| style="float:right; margin-left:5px;"
|http://images.neopets.com/faerieland/tfr_fa61c26562/p4_e784d30682/symbols.png
|}
Clicking on the archway in the staircase will take the player to one of several thousand rooms. In each room is a bookcase with four shelves, each shelf is labelled a different topic. The player must put the correct topic of books onto each shelf, and order each shelf correctly. Amongst the books will be several that do not belong, and these may be thrown into adjacent rooms. Each incorrect topic will only belong in one of the two rooms - if it is sent to the wrong one, or if books that belong on the players shelf are thrown away, they will be thrown back.

The spine of each book has a coloured head, a symbol, a number, and a geometric shape. There are thirty different symbols (see right), each of which corresponds to a different subject - i.e. a different shelf. For example, the pod of peas (second column, bottom row) corresponds to the shelf ''Inedible [[wikipedia:Legumes|Legumes]] of Brightvale'', and the exclamation mark to ''[[wikipedia:xkcd|Help! I'm Trapped in a Bookshelf Factory]]''.

There should be ten books per shelf for a completed bookcase.

The other features of the spine correspond to the order within a shelf the book must be placed. The order is different for different shelves, but is either:

*Numeric:
**The numbers on the spines are arranged in ascending order, left to right;
**The numbers on the spines are reversed (e.g. "123" becomes "321") and ''then'' sorted in ascending order, left to right.
**The ''sum'' of the digits on the spines are arranged in ascending order, left to right (e.g. "234" = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9, "413" = 4 + 1 + 3 = 8, "234" follows "413");
**The number each geometric shape represents arranged in ascending order, left to right (i.e. a dot is 1, a line is 2, a triangle is 3, a square is 4...).
*By colour:
**The colours of the top of the spines are arranged as in a spectrum or rainbow ([[wikipedia:ROYGBIV|ROYGBIV]] - Maroon, red, orange, yellow, green, teal, light blue, dark blue, purple, black);
**The colours of the geometric shape arranged as in a spectrum or rainbow.

{| style="float:left; margin-right:11px;"

|}

There is a bell on the desk: when rung, the Yurble will arrive and berate the player if there are any books in the wrong place. These will be removed from the shelves and strewn on the desk. Books that are correctly ordered and on the right shelf will be left on the shelves. This refers to the books relative order - if two books are left on a shelf by the Yurble, they are meant to be to be next to each other, and there shouldn't be any books placed in between them. There may be books before and after the pair, however.

When the Yurble removes books from the shelves, there is a chance it may dislodge a bonus item the player wins: "While knocking books off the shelf, the librarian dislodges an item! You pick it up before he notices it."

If all the books are in the right order, and all are on the right shelves, when the bell is rang the Yurble will instead berate the player for taking too long, and the player can return to the front of the library and receive a new room to organise, for example to get any achievements they may have missed.

{{cq|Took you long enough! I guess you got this shelf organized, though... '''*grumble*''' All right, off with you then. Captain Brynn needs to search this room, and I don't want you getting in her way!}}

Brynn found her book sometime on October 18, but the puzzle remained playable. Afterwards, the Yurble greeted the player by saying, "Well, Captain Brynn found her book. But the archives are still a mess! Get down there and organize those books!" And upon completing a room, he instead said, "Well, that's another one cleaned up. Maybe some day this whole place will finally be organized! I sure hope so. I HATE DISORGANIZATION! RRAAAAARGHH!"

Released following Chapter 8, this is the second Battledome step. Brightvale is under attack, and six new enemies are joining the fight. Like the previous Battledome step, however, this is a collaborative step, and only these challengers and Punchbag Bob are available to fight for its duration. The prize tiers picked up from where they were left during the Into the Fray accomplishment partway through tier 9. Three of the enemies are comparable to the enemies of the last wave, and three of them are a step up in difficulty.

The names of the challengers had been discovered via URL manipulation on 16 October, five days before they were actually released. The discovery occurred on the Battledome [[Neoboard]] and was [http://forums.finalhit.org/showthread.php?tid=23312 picked up] by fansites such as the [[In-depth Battlepedia]].

Unlike during Into the Fray, only two types of enemies arrive in each new wave - Minions and Destroyers arrive together, Brutes and Conquerors arrive together, and Furies and Zealots arrive together.

Only two challengers were available from the beginning, with two more being released the next day, 21 October, at 5:15 [[NST]]. The final two types of opponent were released that afternoon at 15:45 NST. The [[Shadow Spectre Minion]], [[Shadow Spectre Brute]], and [[Shadow Spectre Fury]] have the same images as the Shadow Wraith Minion, Shadow Wraith Brute, and Shadow Spectre Brute respectively, but different opponent id numbers and different sets of weapons.

The Spectres were finally defeated on 25 October at 23:30.

The battle page also makes a return, with new updates from Brynn and Hanso:

*During the waves:
**''Brynn:'' Keep them away from Brightvale Castle! King Hagan must be protected!
**''Brynn:'' Where do these things keep coming from? We've got to stop them before they tear Brightvale apart!
**''Brynn:'' We haven't got enough soldiers to hold them off forever! Perhaps [[Meridell]] can come to our aid.
**''Brynn:'' Don't these monsters ever stop coming? I've lost count of how many of them we've taken out.
**''Hanso:'' The nerve of these things, trying to defeat me in combat! Can't they tell how quick and agile I am? They're just wasting their energy.
**''Hanso:'' It's always good for a thief to practice his skills. [[Kanrik]] would be so useless here.
**''Hanso:'' Did you see that last one I took out? It didn't even know what hit it.
**''Hanso:'' And ''you'' wanted to keep me cooped up in that cell. Ha! Here come some more!
*Between the waves:
**''Brynn:'' Their attacks seem random, uncoordinated. If they had any strategy, we'd be overrun in short order.
**''Brynn:'' We mananged ''[sic]'' to stop that wave, but I'm sure there will be more. We've got to rest while we have time.
**''Brynn:'' Finally, a breather... let's just hope these things don't get any stronger.
**''Brynn:'' I've got to rest. A good soldier always conserves her energy.
**''Hanso:'' Come on, Brynn, surely you aren't so tired as all that? Why, a few million more of these things and I'm sure the battle will end.
**''Hanso:'' I suppose it would be a pity if Brightvale was destroyed... I guess I can stick around.
**''Hanso:'' It's too bad these monsters don't have any pockets for me to pick.
**''Hanso:'' Sure, it's a walk in the park, but destroying these things one after another is just a waste of talents like mine. Maybe I'll take a nap.

With the Skeith once again providing [[wikipedia:comic relief|comic relief]]:
*This is the oddest thing I've seen since breakfast.
*If I wasn't so terrified, I'd show these monsters what's what!
*I'm going to shut my eyes and think about cute little critters.
*Oh, how I wish Altador were here!
*I wish someone would just make these horrible monsters go away! What did we ever do to them?
*Everything's gone pear-shaped!
*What is it with [[Neopia]]? If it's not [[Mystery Island Volcano Plot|volcanoes]] or [[Dr. Sloth]] attacking us, it's strange shadow monsters...
*What do you suppose they want?
*It's like something out of a nightmare!
*What are these hideous things doing in nice, pretty Brightvale? Although I suppose Brightvale ain't been all that nice or pretty, lately...
*Hey, is that Hanso? I could swear Captain Brynn locked him up in a cell...

::''Shadow Spectre Zealot'' - kill counter, but points are capped after 20 kills.
*'''The Welcoming Committee''' - ''These new spectres got what's coming to them.''
*:Achieve a kill against a Destroyer, a Conqueror and a Zealot.
*'''Six Up, Six Down''' - ''Queue up, please! We haven't got all day.''
*:Achieve a kill (a win or a draw) against every opponent in release order - Minion, Destroyer, Brute, Conqueror, Fury, then Zealot. Losing does not break the streak.
*'''Well Rounded''' - ''Caution is normal, so don't jump to fierce conclusions.''
*:Use the fierce attack, cautious attack, normal attack, and jump and attack [[abilities]] against the Spectres. They do not have to be used in the same battle.

==Neocash component==

The Faeries' Ruin is the first plot to include an additional [[Neocash]] element. However, [[The Neopets Team]] reported that "[i]t in no way affects your plot score" [http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/topic.phtml?topic=143668561].

Users can buy ''Key Packs'' for Neocash that supply keys used to enter the Corridor of Chance in [[Castle Nox]]. Each key purchased allows one use of the [[Transfabulator]] found there. The Transfabulator returns an item the user's [[Neopet]] is wearing to the [[Closet]] and replaces it with an exclusive wearable. It may also grant the Neopet an effect, which lasts for five days.

Once the lever on the Transfabulator is pulled, the key used to enter the Corridor is used up.

==Trivia==
*During the plot, the [[Healing Springs]] had some "residual magic" to be used at the user's own risk. Before the release of ''Into the Fray'', if the user tried to "Heal my Pets", they were told there was no-one there to heal them; during and after ''Into the Fray'', it generated one of the Water Faerie's item events - either a low level snowball or a healing potion.
*The [[Soup Kitchen]] was still usable during the plot, as the [[Soup Faerie]] had made an extra large cauldron of soup.
*The shops both at the [[Healing Springs]] and the [[Hidden Tower]] remained open without their owners present, presumably relying on an honesty-box system.
*Reference was made in the plot to the fate of [[The Darkest Faerie]].
*The Commonwealth English spelling of ''art'''e'''fact'' is used throughout the plot, although ''art'''i'''fact'' is used elsewhere on the [[Neopets|site]].
*After the release of the first chapter, a [[wikipedia:meme|meme]] began on the [[Neoboards]] as to the fate of a pie, which had also been petrified along with the faeries. This was referenced in [[Lenny Conundrum]] [http://www.neopets.com/games/conundrum_feature.phtml?round=375 round 375], and [[Random Contest]] number 201.
*[[Kanrik]] made a [[wikipedia:cameo appearance|cameo]] in chapter 7 in a flashback as one of the people [[Hanso]] robbed.
*The foyer of the Brightvale Archives has [[wikipedia:Roman numerals|Roman numerals]] hidden in [http://images.neopets.com/faerieland/tfr_fa61c26562/p4_e784d30682/intro2_aae72f2d43.png the design], including an 'X' on the floor. This may be a reference to the similar scene in [[wikipedia:Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade|Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]].

Chia Pop

78.144.17.22: rm fanfic

{{Construction|reason=More info needed on the topic, refine sections of non-magical and magical chia pops}}

A '''Chia Pop''' is a [[Food#Snow_Food|Snow Food]] item resembling real life [[Wikipedia:Pop (frozen snack)|pops]]. [[Chia]]s are heavily promoted through these items. They are sold in the [[Super Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop]] of [[Terror Mountain]].

==Magical Chia Pop==
A '''Magical Chia Pop''' is a special type of Chia Pop which can change a Chia into a type of fruit or vegetable [[colour]], the only other means of doing so being through the [[Lab Ray]]). They are very rare and must be fed to a Chia to take effect. [[Newbie]]s are sometimes confused between the diffierence ''magical'' and ''non-magical'' Chia Pops, and thereby either pay too much for a plain Chia Pop or sell too low for a real Magical Chia Pop.

==Trivia==
*Currently, [[Kiko]]s are the only [[Neopet (species)|Neopet]] besides the Chia which can be affected by a Magical Chia Pop, turning into a Chokato with the ''Chokato Chia Pop''.
*Tartan Chia Pops ''may'' have been released when there was an idea for Tartan pets. However, Tartan pets never existed but the Tartan Chia Pop is still one of the most expensive Chia pops, being priced at 1 million NP.
*There exists a Juppieswirl Chia on the Neopets server but it is considered an unofficial colour and unlikely to be released.
*The description for the Magical Blueberry Chia Pop is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory|Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory]] movie.

==Multiple step quests==
The user can win an invitation to start a multiple step quest from the stand. The quest must be completed that day, and involves travelling to several locations in a certain order so as to receive a prize. These quests include:

===King Skarl===
{| style="float:right;"
|http://images.neopets.com/halloween/haunted_fairie/eiojnow.gif
|}
''"To get started, got to [[Meridell Castle]] and find [[King Skarl]] who'll fill you in on what to do next."''

#Go to Meridell Castle.
#:''"Hey you! Your Royal Highness has an important errand requiring immediate attention, and in my imminent wisdom I've chosen you for the job. Here's the situation: a special order I placed in [[Brightvale]] is ready for pickup. As King of Meridell, I am far too busy protecting the realm and so forth to fetch the item myself, which is why I've chosen you to do my bidding. The item is a secret gift for my brother, [[King Hagan|Hagan]]. Therefore, lets try to keep this quiet, understand? Very well, begone..."''
#Go to [[Brightvale Glaziers]].
#:''"Good day, welcome to Brightvale Glaziers. Can I help you with anything? I see... just a moment. *goes to back room, then returns with a large frame covered in brown wrapping paper* Alright, if you'll just sign right here... perfect. Please pass on my best wishes to His Majesty; I truly hope that this gift doth greatly please both King Skarl and his brother, our benevolent ruler Wise King Hagan. Farewell!"''
#Return to Meridell Castle.
#:''"You're back! Great, let's have a look... *tears off wrapping paper* WHAT?!? I specifically ordered a stained glass portrait of ME, not that bookworm brother of mine! Take that thing back to Brightvale where it belongs! *seethes* Why, just wait until I get a moment with that glazier - he's going to get an earful, that's for sure... what are you waiting for? GET OUT!!! Oh, and on your way out, be sure to tell someone from the kitchen to send over a Turkey Diner... on the double!"''
#Go to Brightvale.
#:''"While returning to Brightvale, you spot a procession winding through the kingdom. As you come closer, King Hagan sees the window you're holding and approaches. "Ha ha!" he laughs, taking the frame from your extended hand. A remarkable piece of work! I can only imagine what Skarl thought when he saw it... I was just on my way to [[Meridell]] for this, so you've actually saved me the trip. To show my gratitude... *whistles to servant, who brings over Candy Feast* I'd like you to have this. Thank you! A Candy Feast was added to your Inventory."''

===Sabre-X===
{| style="float:right;"
|http://images.neopets.com/halloween/haunted_fairie/reiui34j32o4.gif
|}
''"To get started, go to Tyrannian Town Hall and find [[Sabre-X]] who'll fill you in on what to do next."''

#Go to the [[Tyrannia]]n [[Town Hall]].
#:''"Ah, brave warrior. Join us by the fireside! 'Tis a shame; I just finished telling a story about my travels to the Lair of the Beast. I'm sure you would have enjoyed it, which reminds me: when we last spoke, you mentioned you'd been in search of a challenge to demonstrate your courage to the elders. If you were to enter the [[Lair of the Beast]] and return with proof of the deed, I daresay that'd do the trick! I certainly wouldn't go without stopping by the Tyrannian Weapons Shop first, though... "''
#Go to [[Tyrannian Weaponry]].
#:''"Hello? Who goes there?! A customer, perhaps? ahem Pardon me, can I help you find something? Hmm... the Lair of the Beast, you say? Well, just how much are you willing to spend, exactly? I see... honestly, with that kind of budget, you don't stand a chance. Tell you what - I've got this spear you can have for free, since I feel sorry for you. Just promise me you'll take your [[Neopoint]]s and get yourself a fine [[Maraqua]]n meal, seeing as it very well may be your last. Here, give this note to the maitre d' at kelp... I happen to be a good friend of his. Best of luck and bon appetit!"''
#Go to [[kelp]].
#:''"Welcome to kelp! Do you have a reservation? *reads note* I see... well, on behalf of our entire staff here, let me just say that we're profoundly honoured that you would choose our humble restaurant as the site of your final meal before bravely setting off to face certain doom at the Lair of the Beast. Now, if you'll follow me right this way, I'll see to it that you receive a table befitting such mindboggling, erm... valour."''
#Go to the [[Lair of the Beast]].
#:''"Having finished the meal at kelp, your nerves settle during the voyage back to the Lair of the Beast. Upon arriving, however, panic suddenly sets in. Despite your sheer terror, you dutifully continue on, till the moment when the creature lunges ferociously toward you. As if by instinct, you hurl the spear you've been holding, which The Beast savagely snaps in two. As it does so, however, a tooth slathered in saliva falls to the ground. You snatch it up and run like you've never run before..."''
#Return to the Tyrannian Town Hall.
#:''"Look who's back! So how di-heeey, what's that you've got there? That's quite a find. Did you know The Beast's saliva is a potent ingredient used in lots of healing potions? *goes to get potion bottle and spoon* As you might imagine, it's exceedingly rare, and therefore quite valuable. *scoops saliva into bottle* Wow, nearly a whole bottle of the stuff! Not to mention that tooth you've got there, which will be perfect for fashioning into a sturdy Shield. I'd say the elders will be very impressed... A Lair Beast Tooth Shield was added to your Inventory"''

===Wise Old Gnorbu===
{|style="float:right;"
|http://images.neopets.com/halloween/haunted_fairie/3jrowenlinl3.gif
|}
''"To get started, go to Shenkuu Lunar Temple and find [[Wise Old Gnorbu|Gnorbu]] who'll fill you in on what to do next."''

#Go to the [[Lunar Temple]] in [[Shenkuu]].
#:''"Hello? Come on in... I take it that Apple Bobbing Bart sent you, correct? Very well, here's the situation: it seems my beloved Petpet has run off once again, and I'm afraid I'm too frail and weary to go tracking him down. Typically when this happens, the first place he heads is the Petpet Shop in Geraptiku. In order to get him away from his friends, however, you'll need some Freaky Pumpkin Bites, his favourite Halloween treat. I don't happen to have any on hand, but I'm sure [[Bonju]] can help you, though... "''
#Go to the [[Magical Cooking Vessel]].
#:''"Welcome to Culinary Concoctions, I'm Chef Bonju. How can I be of service? Um-hm... I see... alright, well, I happen to have nearly everything for Freaky Pumpkin Bites that you seek. I'm missing three ingredients, however: Pumpkin Cookies, Pumpkin Pie and a Spooky Doughnut. I'd be more than happy to whip up a fresh batch of Freaky Pumpkin Bites if you could track down those ingredients. Sound good? Very well, then, go on and get going... "''
#Combine a ''Pumpkin Cookies'', ''Pumpkin Pie'', and a ''Spooky Doughnut'' in the Magical Cooking Vessel.
#:''"Oh, you're back! Alright, let's see what you've got there... okay, I think these should do. I went ahead and began my preparations while you were gone - goes to show, I had great faith in you - so I'll just need to include what you picked up and that should about do it. Just a little of this... some of this, and... voila! one piping hot batch of Freaky Pumpkin Bites! One last, thing, though - these treats will need to be chilled before they can be served. The [[Ice Caves]] would probably be a good place to take care of that. Good luck!"''
#Visit the [[Snowager]].
#:''"Maybe it was the sound of crunching snow, or the smell of the Freaky Pumpkin Bites you were carrying... one thing's for sure, though - THE SNOWAGER IS AWAKE! As the beast lurches into view, you're frozen in place, capable only of bracing for its inevitable icy blast... which knocks you to the icy path you'd been treading. Opening your eyes, you see Freaky Pumpkin Bites still desperately clutched in your mitts, frozen solid. Trying to think of a place for them to defrost a little, you remember the Wise Old Gnorbu's words..."''
#Go to [[Geraptiku Petpets]].
#:''"At last, you've arrived at the destination of your latest voyage: The Lost City of Geraptiku. Other than the distant sound of a few crashing bowling pins, the "city" is eerily silent... and awfully creepy. Entering the heart of the city, you spot some frolicking Petpets up ahead. Carefully approaching with the Freaky Pumpkin Bites in hand, you're relieved as a Fire Werhond heads in your direction. "This must be the one," you think as the Werhond eagerly nibbles at your offering..."''
#Return to the [[Lunar Temple]].
#:''"Welcome back! I see you two have made fast friends on the trip home - those must have been some Freaky Pumpkin Bites Bonju cooked up! Yeah, I'd say that the two of you are quite a pair. Look, I've got an idea... why don't you go on and take Sparky? I've got plenty of Petpets to keep me company, and I'm certain that you'd give him a good home. It's the least I could do after all the trouble you went through to track him down and bring him back. So, what do you say? Great, I'll go ahead and pack his things then..."''

78.144.23.120: /* Other boards */

{{construction| reason=Summary of the boards and what users can expect in each, and what is primarily talked about}}

The '''NeoBoard''' is a collection of boards which users can post messages to each other around the world pertaining to special topics. Several staff members named ''Moderators'' look over the NeoBoards, making sure users are following the rules. Users can also self-moderate by reporting a message to moderators which they think is unsuitable for Neopets. There is also a filter which prevents a user from using profanity or lewd conduct on the site. However, many users often use symbols or spaces or a combo of them to use profanity, and it isn't filtered.

==Forum types==
There are many different boards which can be posted on.

===Main forums===

===Other boards===
There are other boards which are part of the Neoboard, but are either hidden or only appear at certain times.

'''Plot'''

The '''Plot''' board's title and content changes to whatever the current plot is at the time. It's believed [http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/boardlist.phtml?board=7 the link] always remains the same, but is only active when a plot is open. Past titles included:

There's also an Admin Board of DOOM, which can only be seen by TNT and moderators.

==Trivia==
*It is possible to make invisible boards on the NeoBoards by using square brackets to make what is written be processed as tags. This is a [[Frozen|freezable]] offence.
*There are several [[Wikipedia:Easter Egg (Media)|easter eggs]] that appear when certain messages are posted.
**'''Ghostbusters!''': Posting ''5514344'', the telephone number for the [[Wikipedia:Ghostbusters|Ghostbusters]] in the movie of the same name, causes ''Ghostbusters!'' to appear in its place
**'''Onion Glitch''': Whenever certain words (likely depending on length) are posted, followed by a hard return, an underscore would appear after it. If the word was followed by a punctuation mark, the underscore would appear before it. The word must begin with ''on'', but some shorter phrase, such as ''only'' do not cause this glitch. Words such as ''online'', and of course ''onion'', do, however.
**'''Jelly World''': Posting in the URL for [[Jelly World]] causes it to be blocked as if it was an off-site link.
**'''%5000 Glitch''': Although no longer active, posting ''%5000'' used to cause ''P00'' to be displayed in its place.
**'''Report me!''': If the phrase ''this is not a scam'' is posted, it is replaced automatically by ''This is a scam! Report me!''.
**'''Bikinis''': If the phrase ''bikini'' is posted, it is replaced with ''cardigan'', presumably to stop inappropriate conversations. .
**'''Talk like a Pirate''': On [[Wikipedia:International Talk Like a Pirate Day|talk like a pirate day]], some words would come out as common pirate words. For example, "see" turned to "spy" and "n00b" turned to "landlubber."
*There used to be a General Chat board. It was removed because too many users were breaking rules and discussing things they shouldn't be. Its old URL is now used for event boards, such as [[Daily Dare]] and [[Neopia's Style Showdown]]. The Newbie Boards are now used as the General Chat.
