The first official 2006 [[Plot]] on [[Neopets]], involving the most recent addition to the Neopets landscape - the city of [[Altador]]. Began in March 28, 2006 and ended June 2, 2006.
 
==Plot Summary==
It all begins with a dark [[Hall of Heroes]] and a mostly empty Book of Ages. Solving a few puzzles gains you access to the Observatory, along with earning you a telescope to use.
 
Clues are scattered throughout the City of Altador. Each of these clues reveals the form of a constellation, which you then have to search for with your telescope. Identifying a constellation in the night sky unlocks the corresponding chapter in the Book of Ages, allowing you to unveil the fogotten past of Altador piece by piece. There are a total of 12 constellations, one for each of the founders of Altador.
 
These clues were put in place by [[Jerdana]], the Protector. She and [[King Altador]], in an attempt to save the city from [[The Darkest Faerie]], blocked the citizens' memories, including their own. However, because she was unable to stop the Darkest Faerie entirely, she laid down a complex magical puzzle for some determined soul to solve. Solving the puzzle destroys The Darkest Faerie and restores the memories of the people of Altador, along with making you a hero.
 
==Book of Ages==
<blockquote>
'''Prologue'''<br>
''Long ago, before the building of our great city, twelve heroes arose. Each was famous for different deeds of varying natures. The greatest of these heroes is the one whom we now know as King Altador. He, with the aid of the other heroes, founded our illustrious city by the sea.''<br><br>
''Before the Great Betrayal, the kingdom of Altador was one of the most glorious places in all Neopia. It was a centre of culture and greatly admired for its dignified citizens. Those blessed times were nearly lost when one of our own, who once called herself an ally and friend to the heroes, turned her heart to darkness and attempted to destroy the city. Only by Jerdana's magic were we saved, though our future remains uncertain.''<br><br>
''Within this tome you will find the recorded history of the twelve heroes and how they came to form the Kingdom of Altador. Protect this knowledge well, for it may be all that is left if Jerdana's magic fails and the betrayer succeeds....''<br><br>

'''Epilogue'''<br>
''The early years flew by for King Altador and his council, as the city began to take form. For hundreds of miles, Neopians from all over the countryside flocked to the budding city. Its twelve heroic rulers pledged that, together, they would form the greatest and most noble city to ever grace Neopia's landscape. Even King Altador himself, when he wasn't holding court, would help place stones and build walls side by side with the his subjects.''<br><br>
''These building sessions would often last late into the night, until the builders' torches had burned themselves out. The one who would one day come to be known as the Betrayer wished to use her magical powers to speed the process, but Altador simply shook his head each time she suggested it. "One appreciates a home far more when it is he who places its stones."''<br><br>
''The truth of his words was bourne out by the immaculate care that Altador's inhabitants took of the city when it was finally completed. No one threw trash to the ground, or marked upon a wall, as that would only serve to dishonour and defile what they had strived so hard to create.''<br><br>
''Word spread of the magnificent city, and soon caravans began to arrive, bringing goods to be bartered for the amazing crops and fine products that the kingdom had started to produce. Within a few short years, the kingdom of Altador became known as a center of culture and enlightenment. Here, everyone could live out their lives in comfort and dignity.''<br><br>
''To insure that the glorious city survived the ages, Siyana, the First to Rise, blessed its mortal heroes with the gift of great longevity. Decades came and went, and Altador remained a shining beacon to those who wished for just rulers.''<br><br>
''Seeing that the kingdom was the envy of all others, the Betrayer suggested to Altador that Torakor and his soldiers be sent forth to unite all the other kingdoms under the Lupe's fair rule. Once again, Altador kindly denied her proposal. "Our army is a defensive one, not offensive. If I ordered Torakor to use the army to intimidate others into joining our kingdom, even if I thought that it would eventually be for their own good, I would be no better than the leader that Torakor once wisely stood against."''<br><br>
''Although the Betrayer hated having her ideas declined, she could only admit that Altador's wisdom was once again correct. Some feel that events such as these sowed the seeds for her future betrayal. In the meantime, however, the kingdom of Altador continued to prosper, until that fateful day....''

==Trivia==
*On May 27, 2006, [[The Neopets Team]] declared on the news page the Altador Plot was over, and congratulated all those who found all constellations, and hoped everyone enjoyed their prizes. Two paragraphs down though, they claimed it was a joke, and they were still working on the next part, hopefully to be released next week.
*Finneus, the Lenny Archivist, is the uncle of the [[Conundrum Lenny]].
