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 29, 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.
 
==The Plot==
The plot introduces in [[Sakhmet]], a thriving town in an ancient and timeless land. Sakhmet is home to exotic [[Petpet]]s, amazing foods, and some of the best entertainers in the land.
 
But the best thing of all is the Royal Palace, where Princess Amira is watching over everything.
 
Far from the Royal Palace, the streets of Sakhmet are full of beggars, scoundrels, and villains, including a wily gang of street urchins known as the Desert Scarabs.
 
One thing about Sakhmet, you can never guarantee it's a dull place, where unexpected visitors can come at any time. A mysterious noble named Prince Jazan entered Sakhmet, full of confidence.
===Marriage Proposal===
Jazan introduces himself as Prince Jazan the Fourth to the guards of the Royal Palace, and asks to visit Princess Amira. The guards say that only visitors with an appointment may see Amira. Jazan shows the guards a fake appointment, and they let him pass. Jazan then gives a few coins to the guards.
 
When Jazan enters the Great Hall, he introduces himself to Amira. Jazan then asks for marriage, which Amira sternly declines.

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

==Plot participation==
To complete the tablet, users had to find parchments revealing the location of each tablet piece. To receive the third parchment, participants had to bet and feed a [[Poogle]] in [[Poogle Racing]]. To find the parchment that revealed the location of the 11th tablet piece, users had to lose a game of [[Fetch!]].

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.
