Meridell is one of Neopia’s most important lands – it’s the place where Illusen lives, it has a sizable military, and it introduced the concept of searching for treasure in Symol holes. However, some people are very insensitive to Meridellians, and end up saying things we really wish they wouldn’t. So next time you go to Meridell, or meet someone from there, try to avoid these phrases: 1.) “Don’t Get Your Meridellian up!” This phrase, along with several others such as “a Meridellian temper”, imply that Meridellians are naturally aggressive and quick to anger, a misconception that perhaps comes from the fact that King Skarl is naturally grumpy. However, Skarl may be the King, but he’s still only one Meridellian. Meridell doesn’t have any higher rates of aggression or short-tempered individuals than any other land. 2.) “I bet all you eat is potatoes!” Yes, potatoes are a part of Meridellian cuisine, and yes, we do count them for sport. However, they are far from the only thing we eat here. We also have a great many berries, gruel, marrows, and other vegetables like turnips, and some people even eat Draik eggs. So if you don’t like potatoes, you can still find something to eat here. 3.) “P.U! Meridellians smell worse than a Kadoatie’s litter box!” This idea came from the farm – since it contains a rubbish dump and there is dung on the farm, it admittedly has a bit of a funk to it. But so do all other farms – if you’ve ever been to Kau Kau Farm, you’ll know that it doesn’t smell any better. Also, the farmers always clean themselves and their clothes...
