Enchanted by an unknown magic, Lord Darigan decided to use the orb for himself in order to attack and destroy Meridell. Witnessing his leader's madness and transformation into a fiery demon, [[Master Vex]] realized that the only way to stop Darigan's rampage was to join forces with the Meridellians. Their combined powers were successfully able to defeat Lord Darigan at last and in a flash of light made him disappear, seemingly forever. The orb, before Skarl or Vex could claim it, split in half and lost its magic for good. | Enchanted by an unknown magic, Lord Darigan decided to use the orb for himself in order to attack and destroy Meridell.

Champions of Meridell was a plot lasting from July 23, 2002 to April 28, 2003. It detailed the discoveries of Meridell, Darigan Citadel, and their war over a magical orb.
The Plot
The Beginning
One quiet day in Neopia Central, Lisha was playing a game of NeoQuest I with her friends, when some bullies came to ruin their game. they beat back the bullies like a real life battle of good versus evil, and finished their game. On a school field trip Lisha is shown a painting of heroic Sir Borodere, a knight from Meridell. This painting causes Lisha to remember an event from her early childhood, when she and her brother Jeran had been playing a game of Hide-and-Seek. The day her brother disappeared.
The Discovery
Lisha led her friends east into the wilderness to the ruins of an old castle. There Lisha and her friends fall into a portal which transports them back in time to Meridell castle. There they are found by Draik guards and almost thrown into the dungeons, when three Darigan Neopets break through the window. Quickly defeating the guards the three Darigan Neopets turn on Lisha and her friends, who quickly use their skills to defeat the three creatures. Lisha and her friends are then granted an audience with King Skarl.
The Battle
King Skarl explained to them that a magical orb was the likely reason the monsters had attacked. Long ago, when Meridell was facing a terrible famine, Skarl had sent his knights out to find a cure. The knights eventually came upon an old Kyrii seer, who told them the location of a magical orb. Once the orb was brought back, Meridell began to thrive again.
As it turned out however, Skarl's story had been a lie. The orb had first belonged to Lord Darigan until the knights stole it, and the monsters had come back to reclaim their property. With the Darigan army ready to attack, Meridell responded in suit and the battle for the orb began, eventually leading to victory for the Darigan side. However, when Lord Darigan brought the orb back into the Citadel, something went wrong and the orb failed to heal the citizens.
The Corruption of Lord Darigan
Enchanted by an unknown magic, Lord Darigan decided to use the orb for himself in order to attack and destroy Meridell. Witnessing his leader's madness and transformation into a fiery demon, Master Vex realized that the only way to stop Darigan's rampage was to join forces with the Meridellians. Their combined powers were successfully able to defeat Lord Darigan at last and in a flash of light made him disappear, seemingly forever. The orb, before Skarl or Vex could claim it, split in half and lost its magic for good.
Opponents
There were two sets of Battledome challengers: the Meridell challengers who could only be fought by players supporting Darigan, and the Darigan challengers who could only be fought by players supporting Meridell. Players could fight the same challengers repeatedly.
