Which is exactly why it’s best that we probably don’t worry about being TOTALLY accurate about food available in Neopets, I suppose. I doubt they were trying to actually create an accurate, comprehensive list of appropriate foods~

I'd also include Gourmet food and maybe a few outliers, since this is a banquet from the king. Surely he has some good cookbooks in his library!

Oh hey, I found something that's pretty good. I keep having difficulties finding a good map of Neopia, but...I found what I think is a good, fanmade one. It's not technically COMPLETELY accurate to the site's geography, but it's very close. Also pretty big, so I'll put it in a hider xD

@Digizel If you'd like to roll a history check on bogshot, I'd allow your character a bit more. Up to you

Sure, why not? xD I wasn't sure whether or not he'd know much about Bogshot. But a knight he looked up to did go there: Tormund. So I guess this roll might make sense.

Accidentally rolled two, but the first result was a 16-1=15 total, so there we go? xD

Fifteen was my DC, so you have passed! Your character likely has a vague knowledge of the place. It's location, and any notable events (I think there was a plague there?)

Alrighty, sounds good. I'll incorporate that into my next post as a bit of an epiphany he has. xD

And yeah, you would be correct. During the events of The Darkest Faerie, the Bogshot Swamp was where the Council of Altador (before recorded history) banished the Kastraliss. It remained dormant in its statue form until the Darkest Faerie's magic spread to the region and restored it to life. The Kastraliss, with her power, was the cause of the plague, and was guarding the only plant that could be used to cure it, the Bogberries (which needed to be made into a potion by the apothecary). So it was actually Tormund and Roberta who saved the day by defeating the Kastraliss, who in turn returned into his statue form. They obtained the Bog Berries and helped to cure the Squamata Plague.

Though this does raise an interesting question: How far ahead of "Neopets canon" does this take place? Obviously, it can't be a HUGE amount of time if Skarl and Hagan are still in command (unless Skeiths just live for a ridiculously long time since lifespans are never mentioned on Neopets for obvious reasons xD).

I mean, the timeline is kind of... weird in Neopets lore. At the beginning of The Darkest Faerie, Tormund and his sister are re-enacting the fight between Jeran and Lord Darigan. I don't think we meet Jeran in The Darkest Faerie, so we don't know if he's still around. It could be that that happened in the distant past, and the fight with Darigan has become a legend at this point, which explains why kids are so carefree about re-enacting what must have been a pretty harrowing event... but Skarl is still alive?

Then you have to factor in that Jeran and his sister are actually from the distant future, and got teleported to the past somehow, which only further confuses about what the neopets timeline even is at this point.

The specifics of the lore are going to be really hard to hash out when it comes to that. We could easily errata the kings being ancient by having there be king Hagan the 4ths and what not. Truthfully though, I am imaging the darkest faerie take place nearly a decade ago, and wars between Darigan and Meridel are much later in history. when Hagan and Skarrl where very young.

That's interesting consider, as I imagine Eloween to be in her early twenties, so if the events of The Darkest Faerie took place a decade ago, would she have been there? Or are we assuming pets age differently?

I think that makes a lot of sense, honestly. So Tormund and Roberta are both still alive and still probably in service to their respective nations? That'd be neat, considering Ferrin's adoration for Sir Tormund and Lady Roberta after hearing all kinds of legends about them while he was training to be a knight xD

And yeah, if that's what we decide to go for, I suppose she would have been a child at that point. She might even have caught a glimpse of Tor and Roberta as they worked in Bogshot, a fact of which Ferrin would be exceedingly jealous xP

@XxFellsingxX If that's alright with you. I understand that could have repercussions on your backstory and I don't want to force you to rewrite or edit anything.

@Birdboy Oh no, it's fine! It's easy enough to work in. Honestly, if everyone got sick when Eloween was a kid, it's just another factor adding to her anxieties and her desire to protect and help people.
