Top 10 Meridell vs Darigan Stamps


by smeehoo27126043

--------

Hello and welcome to this episode of "Top 10" Meridell vs Darigan edition! Today we will be talking about the top ten best stamps created for the Meridell vs Darigan plot that happened many years ago. A little bit of a backstory: It started with the Champions of Meridell plot that lasted almost an entire year! This included Lisha, Kayla, Morris, and Boris that kickstarted their entire adventure. Lisha’s memories came back about her brother, Jeran, to then want to go and find him. This eventually took them back in time to Meridell where their true adventure awaits. Hence, Meridell vs Darigan. Now, I will show you the top ten stamps associated with the plot, and maybe it will make you want to collect them for your own stamp collection! You may find some of these to be interesting or lacking – it’s up to you! Sit back, have a cup of tea, and relax. Enjoy!

     ---------

     

     10th. Drackonack Stamp – Placement #13

     This stamp comes in at tenth because of his cute demeanour. Drackonacks are known to be mean, but not as smart as you think. They were the first-level challengers if you supported Meridell in the plot. Would you keep this little guy as a Petpet? I sure would!

     

     9th. Draik Guard Stamp – Placement #10

     Coming in at number nine, this Draik Guard is important for guarding Meridell Castle. Without them, Meridell’s defences would fizzle out in no time at all. Guards are a special part of any fortress. A fortress always needs them day or night! We need to take a moment to reflect on Draik Guards, because they are their own kind of hero.

     

     8th. Yellow Knight Stamp – Placement #11

     The brother of the Green Knight comes in at eight with a stamp of his own. He is not only a Cellblock challenger but also tried a solo attempt at the Citadel, which landed him in the cell. Don’t worry! He escaped and teamed up with Master Vex.

     

     7th. Darigan Citadel Stamp – Placement #2

     At number seven, we have the one and only Darigan Citadel. This floating fortress is well above Meridel with its creepy stature and barren landscape. They say the sun never shines down on this place… could that be true? The leader of this place is none other than Lord Darigan himself. Would you live here? I certainly would not!

     

     6th. Boris Stamp – Placement #9

     At number six, we have Boris! He is one of Lisha’s close friends. He really likes Count Von Roo… so much so that he dresses up like him. He also goes by Count Boris, which is the perfect name when you associate with vampires. He also fought against Lord Kass and his troops, making him an excellent challenger in his own right.

     

     5th. Zombified Heroes Stamp – Placement #21

     Coming up at number five, and only halfway through, we have the Zombified Heroes! This included Lisha, Kayla, Morris, and Jeran. They were Battledome challengers when you chose Meridell to fight against the Darigan forces. They look a lot cooler than the originals, in my opinion. Would you fight zombified versions of yourself? I sure hope not!

     

     4th. Master Vex Stamp – Placement #24

     For number four, we have Master Vex! He is the dungeon master of the Darigan Citadel. He also invented the game Cellblock. Why shouldn’t he have a stamp of his own? This smart and sophisticated Mynci was able to resist Lord Kass during the entire takeover. Therefore, he was locked away in his own dungeons only to then team up with the Yellow Knight to convince the Darigan forces that Lord Darigan had gone insane.

     

     3rd. King Skarl Stamp – Placement #23

     We are now in the top three stamps for Meridell vs Darigan album. Coming in at number three, we have King Skarl himself. He had something to do with stealing Darigan’s orb and wasn’t keen on returning it. This king is the ruler of Meridell and is the grumpiest king of them all. You can even tell him a joke, and he wouldn’t even chuckle. If you’re lucky enough to make him laugh, the reward is worth it!

     

     2nd. Jeran Stamp – Placement #19

     In close second, we have the knight in shining armour, Jeran! This is Lisha’s brother, the one she was looking for when she saw the painting of him. He went back in time to Meridell and became the knight that he is known for. Jeran is courageous and full of hope making him an excellent hero. I would have him save me if I was in danger!

     

     1st. Lord Darigan Stamp – Placement #22

     For our final stamp coming in at number one, we have Lord Darigan! King Skarl stole Darigan’s orb, which casted a horrible plague onto Darigan’s people. This is what caused Meridell to fight with Darigan. He is not a bad buy, but because of the events that panned out, he was in the wrong. Did you know he founded the Darigan Citadel? Well, the least he could do is add some bright colours to his domain…

Stamps are an awesome way to preserve the history that goes along with what we’ve gone through and accomplished. Maybe this episode has enlightened you to collect stamps?

The Tri-Kingdom Games
"Twenty years ago was when the fate of three kingdoms changed. When Lisha and her friends inadvertently travelled back in time and intervened in the first Meridell-Darigan War, it prevented the destruction of those two kingdoms and Meridell’s sister kingdom, Brightvale; the change to history bringing them all forward in time inside a time bubble."

"The sun is sinking behind the trees, casting the entire marketplace in long shadows. Merchants are packing away their wares, folding down tables and chairs, and taking down signs. Most customers have already cleared out. Only a few linger behind, haggling and bargaining for that final elusive deal."
