Editing King Skarl

[[Image:Skarl10.gif|right|frame|King Skarl of Meridell.]]

'''King Skarl''' is a [[Blue]] [[Skeith]] and king of [[Meridell]]. He is the brother of [[King Hagan]], ruler of the neighbouring, rival kingdom of [[Brightvale]].  

 

His reign has seen many challenges to life in the kingdom. In order to end a period of famine and disease, he sent his knights to retrieve a magical orb that brought prosperity to the kingdom. However, this served as the catalyst for [[Champions of Meridell|war]] when the city it was taken from, the [[Darigan Citadel]], invaded. Following the sacking of Meridell, the two kingdoms enjoyed a short peace after they worked together to defeat the corrupted Spectre of [[Lord Darigan]] and the orb was broken in two. Old tensions flared up again, however, when [[Lord Kass]] took over the Citadel and [[Battle for Meridell|began a second invasion]].

 

Skarl spent much of this second invasion entranced by Lord Kass' servant, the [[Court Dancer]]. Although the second invasion was eventually defeated, Meridell fall again, and its King once again bewitched, when [[The Darkest Faerie]] was freed. Meridell and its king would eventually be restored by his niece, [[Roberta]], and [[Tormund|Sir Tormund]].

 

==Plot summaries==

Long ago, King Skarl had sent his knights to retrieve a magical orb in order to end the famine and plague in Meridell. When strange, [[Darigan|monstrous]] creatures were spotted in his kingdom, Skarl correctly guessed they were there to take the orb - but he did not reveal at the time that in fact the orb was theirs to begin with, and his knights had stolen it.  

 

When the war began, King Skarl himself joined his knights on the battlefield, as well as releasing [[The Castle Defender]] to fight alongside them.  

 

After Meridell's defeat, he joined the bipartisan force that fought the Spectre of [[Lord Darigan]] and helped defeat his corrupted enemy. Both he and [[Master Vex]] attempted to claim the orb after the Spectre vanished, but it broke in two.  

In Act I of NeoQuest II, King Skarl was imprisoned by his court wizard [[Ramtor]].

{{BTY|December 7, 2006|That wretched Lord Kass caused my people so much suffering, and nearly destroyed my finest knight! Whenever I feel stressed out I enjoy a rousing game of Whack-A-Kass. You should try it too. I'll give you something nice from my treasury if you beat my high score.|Whack-A-Kass|1,175|King Skarl [[Stamp]]}}

{{BTY|July 30, 2009|Incredible! These [[Hasee]]s are such acrobats! Their aerial stunts are a marvel to behold -- at least, when they're bouncing for me. Royalty does have its privileges. Can you inspire them to perform as well for you?|Super Hasee Bounce|1,250|Meridell Shield Stamp}}

{{BTY|8 November 2012|Woo! Look at it go! I bet they'll find it in Shenkuu! Heh heh! This is a quaint little game, isn't it? Gives a fellow some exercise (but not too much), helps him work up an appetite – Bring me another drumstick! – and it teaches history. Naturally I'm quite skilled at it.|Kass Basher|1,180|Honey Basted Turkey Leg}}
