Altador was originally a peaceful and prosperous land, ruled by twelve protectors, one of which was a [[Dark Faerie]], now only known as [[the Darkest Faerie]]. As the other leaders aged, the Darkest Faerie believed she should be the sole ruler of Altador because of her immortality, and began plotting against the other protectors to take over. [[Jerdana]], the one of the twelve, banished the Faerie from Altador when she learned of her plot. Outraged at her banishment, she planned against Altador from afar, and returned wreaking havoc on the city. To protect the city, Jerdana placed it within a spell of slow time. [[Fyora]] then used ''Jerdana's Orb'' to trap the Darkest Faerie in stone, and where she fell to the bottom of the [[Maraqua]]n ocean. | |||
1000 years passed for the rest of the world, while little to no time passed in Altador, and The Darkest Faerie eventually broke free, forcing the remaining 11 (who blended into the world of Neopia) into action to find two heroes to fight against her. [[Tormund]] and [[Roberta]] were separately selected, and eventually came to Altador to discover a way to stop The Darkest Faerie and release Altador from the time spell, both of which were accomplished. | 1000 years passed for the rest of the world, while little to no time passed in Altador, and The Darkest Faerie eventually broke free, forcing the remaining 11 (who blended into the world of Neopia) into action to find two heroes to fight against her.

The player discovers that the history of Altador has been wiped clean and no one can remember anything and. They find the [[Book of Ages]] in the archives, but is blank apart from the prologue.
