The '''Lost Desert''' is an [[wikipedia:Arid|arid]] region in [[Neopia]]'s [[wikipedia:Southern Hemisphere|southern hemisphere]]. It was discovered by the rest of Neopia as part of the [[Brucey B and the Lucky Coin]] [[plot]], when [[Brucey B]] managed to travel south through the [[Haunted Woods]]. The Desert is shared by two kingdoms, the second of which was introduced following the [[Lost Desert Plot]]. | The '''Lost Desert''' is an [[wikipedia:Arid|arid]] region in [[Neopia]]'s [[wikipedia:Southern Hemisphere|southern hemisphere]].

After the case was closed, a shrine was erected in the King's honour, in which was placed his Crown, which was said to be inhabited by the ghost of Coltzan. As the shrine was unveiled, however, it emerged that the cunning [[Malkus Vile]], a [[wikipedia:Organized crime|crime lord]], had had the crown stolen - [[The Hunt for the Crown]] was on. Since the crown was returned, the Ghost of Coltzan blesses Neopets who mourn at his obelisk. | The Sakhmetian Royal Family went through a time of turbulence after the Lost Desert was discovered.

The Royal Family of Sakhmet went under another turbulent time, when the [[Princess Amira]] (who had inherited the throne from Coltzan III) received [[Prince Jazan]] IV of Qasala who demanded her hand in marriage based on some document of betrothment he had gathered from somewhere. He believed that marrying a Sakhmetain Princess would restore his lands and people, so when the Princess refused, he stole the City away with dark magic, where it became plagued by his demons.

When he fell in love with [[Nabile]] (who could be seen as a princess of thieves, though her mother was Princess Neera so technically she is a real princess, as a matter of fact, she's Princess Amira's cousin), they married and Jazan restored Sakhmet, but his land did not prosper again and in fact the prophecy he fulfilled brought back to life his wicked, power-mad father [[Razul]] who attacked the Lost Desert until he was stopped. | ||

==Activities in the Lost Desert== | |||
The Lost Desert has a large number of shops, such as [[Lady Osiri]]'s [[Lady Osiri's Pottery|Pottery]], [[Sutek]]'s [[Sutek's Scrolls|Scrolls]], [[Battle Supplies and Desert Arms]], and [[Qasalan Delights]]. There are also several [[Dailies|daily-events]], such as [[Coltzan's Shrine]], the [[Fruit Machine]], and the [[Lost Desert Scratchcard Stall]]. Other [[games]] in the Lost Desert include [[Tug of War]] and [[Swarm]]. | |||

The Lost Desert's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team of 2006 had a lineup which could have done lots of damage in the tournament, but troubles in 2006 ([["Dirty" Navers]]' aggressive tactics and [[Derbi Azar]]'s holdout) made fans wary of them and if they would effectively play. They managed beat the [[Virtupets Space Station|Space Station]] in the first round, but were beaten by [[Roo Island]] in Round Two. When the time came to assign blame for the improbable loss, most of the criticism was aimed at defenseman [[Wyett Tuggins]], who was repeatedly put to shame by the brilliant play of Roo Island's [[Fenny Vail]]. As a result, journeyman [[Luvea Trivon]] took his place in the 2007 games. | |||
