The '''Darigan Citadel''' is a large floating fortress that hovers in the sky over [[Meridell]]. It is currently ruled by [[Lord Darigan]]. The Darigan Citadel was introduced on November 20, 2002, as part of the [[Champions of Meridell]] [[plot]]. In this plot, it is revealed that the citizens of the Citadel used to have a plentiful kingdom of their own. However, after [[King Skarl|King Skarl's]] knights stole the magical orb that allowed their kingdom to flourish, their once peaceful land fell into ruins and the citizens themselves took on monstrous forms.


'''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.
The Darigan Citadel has waged war against the land of Meridell twice. The first of these two wars took place during the Champions of Meridell plot, and the second took place during the [[Battle for Meridell]] plot, for which time it was known as the [[Lord Kass|Kass]] Citadel. Since the end of the Battle for Meridell plot, the two kingdoms have had an uneasy but stable truce.  


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.

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.
 
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. Darigan was from the start considered the favourite of the [[Altador Cup 2007|2007 Altador Cup]], maintaining a position at the top of the leader-board for the round robin. In the finals it faced off against [[Roo Island#Yooyuball|Roo Island]]'s team and finally won the Cup on July 9th. However, they also fell to the curse of previous winner [[Haunted Woods]] and subsequent winner Roo Island to not be able to reach the standard again, placing seventh the following year and the following year, although showing promise initially, placing seventh again after a round one loss to [[Mystery Island]].


Team positions are as follows (bolded notes the Team Captain):
Boasting both an exceptional offense and a solid defense, the Darigan Citadel's Yooyuball team is considered one of the best teams in the league. The team took home the cup in 2007, and since that time they have never placed lower than 7th.
