Quotes "For courage, bravery, and shivery of the highest measure, I bestow up Tormund of Merridel, and Roberta of Brightvale, the honour of defender of the realms." "Oh Xandra, I always feared this day would come."

Fyora, The Faerie Queen, is the ruler of Faerieland and the other faeries. She is one of the most powerful and benevolent beings in Neopia, shown to hold large quantities of seemingly limitless power.

She was originally known onsite as The Light Faerie, and managed The Tower of the Light Faerie. Nowadays, she manages the Hidden Tower, which sells some of the most powerful relics in the world. On occasion, she will grant very lucky Neopians with special quests, and, very rarely, summon few directly to Faerieland.

Among her many great deeds, she is renown for defeating The Darkest Faerie 1,000 years ago and imprisoning her in stone at the bottom of the ocean. Later in time, she would help break the spell set upon Altador, and bring it back to present Neopia.

Ruling over Faerieland for as long as anyone can remember, she has offered both her plentiful grace and wisdom to perhaps thousands of Neopians during her reign.

History

Fyora has made numerous appearances onsite, in various stories, plotlines and features. While anything preceding her days as a princess remain unknown, it's quite easy to assume that she's perhaps thousands of years old. Given her current lifespan, the fact that she was historically recorded to have defeated the Darkest Faerie in 1000 BN, and the time it must have taken for her to take on the role as Queen, it's quite clear that she has blessed Neopia with her presence for quite a few years, and perhaps many more to come.

The Faerie Princess & Inauguration

The onsite book, A New Day, reveals a bit of insight on Fyora's past. The book's description implies that it is a novelized version of her personal journal, telling the tale of her early days as a young Faerie Princess, up until her royal inauguration.

1,000 BN

It is recorded that in 1,000 BN, Fyora conquered the Darkest Faerie and imprisoned her at the bottom of the ocean using the magic of Jerdana's Orb.

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie

Fyora as she appeared in-game.

Main article: Neopets: The Darkest Faerie

During the events of Neopets: The Darkest Faerie, Fyora was visited by Roberta, who reported there was a dark evil afflicting the lands of Meridell. After sending Roberta away, Fyora was taken by surprise when she was confronted by The Darkest Faerie, and became captured. Later when Tormund and Roberta came to rescue her, The Darkest Faerie used her magic to make herself look like Fyora and stole Fyora's Rod. After they left to recover Jerdana's Orb, Fyora broke free of her bonds and fought with The Darkest Faerie again, only to be imprisoned within a glass bottle. At the end of the game, she was freed from the bottle and promised keep a close eye on the re-imprisoned Darkest Faerie.

The Faeries' Ruin

She remained encased in stone until the end of the event.

Main article: The Faeries' Ruin

During the Faerie Festival in Year 12, all the faeries, including Fyora, were turned to stone by Xandra, a former student of a Faerie academy. A group of various heroes, including characters such as Brynn, Hanso and King Altador set out to lift the curse from the Faeries. Xandra, then thought to be innocent, tagged along with the group and pretended to help along the way.

Once Xandra's secret was revealed, Hanso decided to sacrifice himself in order defeat her and remove the curse from the faeries. With this, he himself was turned to stone. For this deed, the recently restored Fyora reversed the curse on Hanso and thanked him for his fearless act.

Fyora was deeply saddened to learn of Xandra's betrayal.

As Fyora had been petrified in stone during the majority of the event, she and her fellow Faerie citizens were unable to use their magic to keep Faerieland afloat, causing it to crash to the surface. At the conclusion of the event, Fyora announced that she and the other citizens of Faerieland would work hard to restore it, with hopes of someday sending it back to the clouds where it belongs.

In a short epilogue released after the event, Fyora appointed Brynn captain of her guards, and gave Hanso the task of recovering dangerous faerie artefacts to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands again. It was also revealed that the Darkest Faerie had gone missing once more.

NeoQuest II

Main article: NeoQuest II

A virtual "Fyora" appears as a character in Chapter 5 of NeoQuest II. She was imprisoned by the final boss, King Terask, in the West Tower of Faerieland Castle. At the end of the game, she is briefly shown waiting to congratulate the heroes, but before they could reach her, King Terask crashed through the ceiling in his final form. Ater his evantual defeat, Fyora is shown thanking Rohane, Mipsy, Talinia, and Velm. She then announces that Faerieland must be rebuilt, and disappears along with the end of the simulation.

Around Neopia

Outside of main storylines and events, Fyora is also appears in numerous items, sub-stories and Neopedia articles.

Neopedia

Hasee Bounce

Fyora appears in the Neopedia article, Hasee Bounce. Here, Fyora is seen confronting Casandia after she accidentally dropped numerous Hasees off the then-floating Faerieland.

Landing in the ocean below, the Hasees were able to float to the safety of Mystery Island due to their high buoyancy. Unfortunately, upon their arrival, they began to eat all of the island's fruit (And in turn, created the game Hasee Bounce). Concerned, the Mystery Islanders approached Queen Fyora for help, to which she ordered Casandia to collect the Hasees and bring them elsewhere.

Hidden Tower

Main article: Hidden Tower

The Neopedia article, The Hidden Tower, tells the story of how Fyora's long-time maid, Celandra, found the "lost" Hidden Tower.

It's worth noting that this seemingly contradicts the description presented in The Hidden Tower TCG card, as one specifies that the tower was created by Fyora, while the other specifies that the tower was a long-lost location and was re-discovered by Celandra. For this reason, it is assumed that Fyora had been aware of the tower all along, and Celandra had simply come upon it, causing the Faerie Queen to open it up for business.

NeoDeck & Other Items

Fyora is featured, or mentioned, in a large variety of onsite items which provide several bits of information regarding the Faerie Queen.

Antikia Lighten

Main article: Antikia Lighten

The NeoDeck card, Antikia Lighten, tells of a Shoyru named Antikia Lighten. The description says that she was given the job of tending to Fyora's private crop of Health Mushrooms by the Queen herself.

The Hidden Tower (TCG)

Fyora made the tower invisible, just in case.

Main article: Hidden Tower

The onsite item, The Hidden Tower (TCG), tells of how Fyora made the Hidden Tower invisible "just in case".

It's worth noting that this seemingly contradicts the story presented in the hidden tower Neopedia article, as one specifies that the tower was created by Fyora, while the other specifies that the tower was a long-lost location and was re-discovered by Celandra, Fyora's maid. For this reason, it is assumed that Fyora had been aware of the tower all along, and Celandra had simply come upon it, causing the Faerie Queen to open it up for business.

Residence

Main article: Faerieland Castle

Fyora makes her home in Faerieland Caste (Sometimes referred to Fyora's Castle, with "Palace" and "Castle" being used interchangeably). Here, she governs Faerieland and runs the ever mysterious Hidden Tower.

Trivia

• The phrase "Fyora" is often used as a euphemism for a monotheistic deity, as direct religious references are not permitted.
• When first introduced onsite, Fyora referred to as the "The Light Faerie", and was in charge of overseeing the "Tower of the Light Faerie". A few days afterwards, actual Light Faeries were introduced, and in effect both her name and the tower were given new titles accordingly.
