'''Meridell''' is a [[wikipedia:medieval|medieval]] themed land that was released on July 30, 2002, as part of the [[Champions of Meridell]] [[plot]].  It is ruled by [[King Skarl]] and is protected by his brave knights.


[[Image:Meridell.JPG|right|frame|Map of Meridell]]
In the Champions of Meridell plot, [[Lisha]] and her friends had to travel 300 years into the past in order to reach Meridell. However, Meridell's participation in recent plots like ''[[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]]'' or the [[Altador Cup]] suggests that it now exists at the same point in time as the rest of Neopia.  
'''Meridell''' is a [[wikipedia:medieval|medieval]] land of knights, kings and magic from [[Neopia]]'s past. It was discovered by a group of unlikely adventurers - [[Lisha]] and her friends - somewhat by accident as part of the ''[[Champions of Meridell]]'' plot. The region encompasses the Kingdom of Meridell, Brightvale, and Darigan. Meridell is known for its great games, mostly involving vegetables, [[Faerie Quest]]s, [[Ultimate Bullseye]], [[Mortog]] kissing, puzzles and other things.


The nation of Meridell has been involved in two wars, the first in the plot ''Champions of Meridell'' was the first Neopian war in which the players could choose either of the sides, and the second in the plot ''[[Battle for Meridell]]''. This makes Meridell the most fought-over area on Neopia.
In the sky above Meridell is [[Darigan Citadel]], a large floating fortress which is currently ruled by [[Lord Darigan]]. The Darigan Citadel has declared war on land of Meridell twice.


Meridell's colours are red, blue and gold. Meridell is ruled by [[King Skarl]] from the Meridell Castle, a large white, red and gold structure. The castle is defended by [[The Castle Defender]], a [[Kougra]] warrior who acted as the war boss for the good side in the first Meridell war but did not appear in the second. An explanation for this is given in ''The Castle Defender'' TCG card, which describes it as "a powerful illusion, but just an illusion". [[Jeran]] is one of the leading knights of the kingdom.

==Yooyuball==
:'''Shops:''' [[Merifoods]], [[Ye Olde Petpets]]
Meridell's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team is all about "speed", and is said to be described with that one word. Their superior conditioning allows them to wear down opponents with a relentless flurry of cuts and screens from the opening face-off until the end of a game. Their speed, however, masks the fact they aren't the most accurate or powerful shooters.

They began the 2006 tournament as one of the odds-on favourites to win, having run circles around [[Maraqua#Yooyuball|Maraqua]] in the first round, but "smashed their head on into a brick wall" when they faced [[Darigan]]'s defence in Round Two. Meridell fans hope the replacement of reviled ''Left Forward'' [[Vitri Sitol]] with swift scorer [[Gregorgio Maille]] will not only give the team a much needed offensive boost, but also help improve their standing among fans around Neopia.

===Darigan===
:''Main Article: [[Brightvale]]''
[[Image:Citadel 2004 01.gif|right|frame|Map of Darigan Citadel]]
'''Darigan Citadel''', which floats in the air thanks to many engines of an unknown mechanism, was once part of its own land of plenty, until King Skarl's knights stole a magical orb that kept the kingdom prosperous. The Citadel came to the Meridell region as part of the ''Champions of Meridell'' plot to wage war on King Skarl and his kingdom. During this time, the Citadel was ruled by [[Lord Darigan]], who vanished at the end of the plot. [[Lord Kass]] took over in Lord Darigan's absence and waged a second war against Meridell from above as part of the ''Battle for Meridell'' plot, during which time it was know as Kass Citadel. Darigan returned and took back his kingdom in the course of the plot.


Attractions include the [[Darigan Toys]] shop and the [[Petpet Battledome]], along with the fortress' many dungeons and the [[Cellblock|games]] that have developed in them.
Brightvale is peaceful kingdom that lies to the southwest of Meridell.  It is ruled by King Skarl's older brother, [[King Hagan]].  The people of Brightvale treasure knowledge and wisdom above all else.


====Yooyuball====
==Yooyuball==
Darigan's Yooyuball team have few major weaknesses, although they have been criticized in the past for playing too easy a schedule during the regular season, and as a result are unprepared when the tournament comes. To fix this, Darigan Citadel relented and added more matches against a few of the better teams for the 2006 season. Due to this they didn't finish as high in the standings as they normally did, but it gave them the toughness to play in the games which mattered the most (or at least this is what the fans hoped). Their tactic paid off, and they managed to place 2nd in the Altador Cup, ending their reputation as post-season underachievers.
{{main|Team Meridell}}
Though they are known for their speed and excellent conditioning, Meridell's Yooyuball team lacks that certain spark that would allow them to make a serious run at championship. Over the years, the team has had respectable but unspectacular showings during the [[Altador Cup]] tournaments, placing as high as 5th and as low as 11th.


Rather than rest, however, the Citadel's team made an upgrade for the ''Goalkeeper'', replacing the less-than-mobile [[Mungo Lifler]] with promising netminder [[Reshar Collifey]] for the 2007 season. And due to the success of the previous year's tactic, Darigan again faced a string of difficult teams for their regular schedule.
