Meridell
- Darigan redirects here. For information on the ruler of Darigan Citadel, see Lord Darigan
Meridell is a medieval land of knights, kings and magic from Neopia's past. It was discovered by a group of unlikely adventurers - Lisha and her friends - somewhat by accident as part of the Champions of Meridell plot. The region encompasses the Kingdom of Meridell, Brightvale, and Darigan. Meridell is know for its great games, mostly involving vegetables, Faerie Quests, Ultimate Bullseye, Mortog kissing, puzzles and other things.
The nation of Meridell has been involved in two wars, the first in the plot Champions of Meridell was the first Neopian war in which the players could choose either of the sides, and the second in the plot Battle for Meridell. This makes the Medieval World the most fought-over area on Neopia.
Meridell's colours are red, blue and gold. Meridell is ruled by King Skarl from the Meridell Castle, a large white, red and gold structure. The castle is defended by The Castle Defender, a Kougra warrior who acted as the war boss for the good side in the first Meridell war but did not appear in the second. An explanation for this is given in The Castle Defender TCG card, which describes it as "a powerful illusion, but just an illusion". Jeran is one of the leading knights of the kingdom.
Other Kingdoms
Darigan
Darigan Citadel, which floats in the air thanks to many engines of 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.
Attractions include the Darigan Toys shop and the Petpet Battledome, along with the fortress' many dungeons and the games that have developed in them.
Brightvale
Brightvale is an almost Utopian kingdom of scholars and fine arts ruled by King Skarl's brother King Hagan. The first glass windows came from this kingdom.
