Must-Read Books to Understand the Void



As a rift has opened in the skies of Neopia, our Neopian heroes gathered together in Altador to discuss how to approach this strange situation. Each character brings to the table unique knowledge and plays an essential role in resolving this unusual event. Despite their many backgrounds — from the scorching sands of the Lost Desert to the Ruins of the Fallen Faerieland — they all share a common activity since joining the Council: Working a strategy to understand and solve the mysterious Void situation. Finneus, the Lenny responsible for the Altadorian Archives, plays the most important role amongst all the other council members, as he often says: ‘In order to understand today's events we must understand the past and the history of Neopia’. As someone trying to unfold the mystery of the Void, you should definitely pay Finneus a visit at the Altadorian Archives. We heard he might have some books to recommend that will help you grasp the situation. “*coughs* Where is that book?… I could’ve sworn it was here somewhere… *mumbles* If King Skarl picked another volume without my consent I will- Oh, hello, Neopian! I’m Finneus! I was told you would arrive. It’s been a long time since we last met, I believe. Yes, yes, but enough with the pleasantries! I found some books that might help you in your quest!” Atlas of Neopia is a comprehensive guidebook, mapping out the diverse regions and lands of Neopia. It provides detailed descriptions, ancient illustrations, and essential information about each and every area of Neopia, making it a valuable read for understanding Neopian geography in order to prepare for any attacks. It also proves itself to be very useful when searching for Void essences. Altadorian Defences is a detailed guide about the defensive strategies and the fortifications of Altadorian Barriers. This book offers insights into protecting the ancient city from threats, making it an essential read for everyone interested in Neopian history and tactical defense. If you want to help defend the cities across Neopia from incoming attacks, you must study everything this book has to offer you. Altador is known, after all, for its fortified walls!
