Before the Faeries' Ruin Plot (top), and after (bottom).

Faerieland is the home of the faeries, ruled by Fyora, the Faerie Queen. It formerly floated in a gigantic cloud 10,000 feet above Neopia, where it was free to move around the skies. During the events of The Faeries' Ruin plot, however, it fell and a crashed east of the Haunted Woods, and is currently under repair.

When Faerieland was first released, users could only enter if they had a special Faerie Totem item. This requirement was quickly dropped however, and today users do not need a totem to enter Faerieland.

Plot summary

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie

Main article: Neopets: The Darkest Faerie

Faerieland was the location of the second act of the video game, and the climax of acts three and four. The Darkest Faerie had planned to crash Faerieland into Meridell so as to destroy both kingdoms, but her scheme was foiled by Roberta and Tormund. After she was turned back to stone, the Darkest Faerie was kept in Faerieland.

The Faeries' Ruin

Main article: The Faeries' Ruin

After the faeries had been turned to stone, most of the activities in Faerieland became unavailable as their operators had turned to stone. Faerieland also began to descend, beginning on 10 November 2010. As Xandra's ritual continued - ostensibly an attempt to save the city, but in reality intended to accelerate its crash - it continued to fall until it had crashed by 24 November.

Xandra revealed that the destruction of Faerieland had been symbolic of her mission to remove the faeries from Neopia, who she saw as "winged tyrants" because they rarely intervened in Neopet affairs despite their power to do so.

When the curse was broken on 23 December, the activities involving faeries opened up again - except for Faerie Quests which would not return until 7 February. The map was also redesigned to show the city grounded.

Faerie City after the crash.

Faerieland consists of a central city and a surrounding area. The city contains a wide range of faerie-themed shops and is home to Queen Fyora's castle and the Hidden Tower.
