Quote of the Week


"He tried again and looked around. Then he saw it. Seen what he had not noticed before. There were little rays of sunlight. Among the bones and rocks, flowers bloomed, and sometimes butterflies fluttered. The Bone Vault wasn’t just grey and brown rocks and white or yellowish bones. There were colours. Serenity and beauty. Puddles and trickling streams of water. Bushes with strange fruits. The dead and scary place was full of life and wasn’t scary at all."


Interview with the Almost Abandoned Attic Visitors



There are many shops in Neopia, each with its own set of customers. Those who enjoy the heat of the arena tend to frequent the Battle Magic, Defense Magic or local Weaponry/Armory shops. The Fashionistas are more inclined to try out the newest trends at the Unis Clothing Shop, Prigpants & Swolthy, Tailors, Mystical Surroundings or Ugga Shinies. The scholars, on their perpetual quest for wisdom, are always looking for an excuse to visit the various bookstores across Neopia.

Light PhyActivities for the Not-Necessarily-Athletic



Let's face it: Not every individual in Neopia is created with the ability to play Yooyuball (or any other game) at a professional level, and the Altador Cup season does not appeal to everyone. I, personally, play as many games of Yooyuball as my eyes can tolerate each day (meaning I try to gain as many points as I can for my team, but limit my time to avoid injury to my knuckles or something). I'm certain that I'm not alone, though.

Chocolate-y Petpets That Are Too Cute to Eat!


The Annual Chocolate Ball is underway, so I thought it was a good time to take a look at all the Chocolate Petpets out there and list my personal top 10 favourites. Chocolate Petpets are exclusive to the Petpet Laboratory, and since zapped Petpets revert back to their original state when removed from the pet, it is impossible to actually "own" any of these lab exclusive colours. So forget about collecting these to display in your gallery, but hopefully, my list will bring a smile to your face because these Chocolate Petpets are indeed too cute to eat!

"Hello, Kiko Lake" by 77thbigby
The Vaughns’ first full day in Kiko Lake was spent moving in and beginning the unpacking process. This was even harder than packing! Her new bedroom was only the size of her closet back in Faerieland. There was no way all of her things were going to fit! Divina sat in the middle of the room, surrounded by the remains of her old life, unable to stop the tears that had been her near-constant companion since leaving home.

"Scroll of the Fool" by cazcazig
Leigume, the Woodland Mynci had spent months studying the six elements of Neojutsu. As the son of a trickster, he kept the Scroll of the Fool with him at all times. This parchment was developed in Brightvale and contained instructions for an ancient step known as "The Mote Dance". However, the manuscript not only inspired one's footwork but also influenced thoughts of mischief.

"Learn to See Not Just Look" by shashakar
Somewhere in Neopia lies the Bone Vault. It is a dry, barren, rocky wasteland, perpetually covered in fog that casts a shadow over the area even in the daytime. Giant and small bones of every kind litter the landscape. The area is geothermally active, containing many steam vents. Some say the Bone Vault is visible from several places as shadowy area.

"Rain fell, wind blew, lightning struck, and thunder boomed all over Meridell. Rivulets of water dribbled from the trees and created an abundance of mud puddles on the forest floor."
