Neopian Fashions Part 1: Brightvale


by petpet_master_

--------

Ah Brightvale, Neopia's most intelligent land. A beautiful green land ruled by only the most knowledgeable King Hagan, a King proven to be infinitely better than his grumpy little brother, Skarl. This peaceful land is filled to the brim with delicacies such as the lovely exotic yet memorable fruits of Brightvale, the divinely crafted armour, found only at the Brightvale armoury, and do not forget the abundant supply of only the finest reading materials, found both at the Scrollery and Brightvale Books.

If those magnificent places still have not convinced you that Brightvale is the greatest land, do not fret! There are still many more places to discover such as the Motery, Brightvale Glaziers, and the Wheel of Knowledge. You will find yourself stunned in amazement by the sheer power held in each mote sold at the Motery, so much so that you may leave with a bit more that you were willing to buy. Take a gander around Brightvale Glaziers and experience the pure talent shown in each stained window. Test your luck and maybe learn something new by spinning the Wheel of Knowledge, or maybe, if you are feeling bold, share some of your knowledge with the most knowledgeable himself!

Feeling adventurous? Get ready, aim, fire! Why not play a thrilling game of Castle Battles? Aim your cannon at your opponent's castle and destroy it piece by piece. If you are lucky, a bountiful treasure awaits you within the crumpled block tower. Advance through the levels and build more complex and powerful castles. If Castle Battles is not really your cup of tea, try a game of Biscuit Brigade. Fend off your enemies by building up your castle's defense and distracting your enemies with cookies and, er... weapons.

Now that you know the basics of Brightvale, time to look the part! What? You thought you could just walk right in? Oh my, you have a lot to learn. While Brightvale is home to anything and everything knowledgeable, is it also home to some of the finest fashions in Neopian history. Being a citizen of Brightvale or even a tourist requires you have only the most intelligent taste in fashion. Do not expect to be let in wearing THAT old thing. Oh dear, oh dear, quick, someone get the royal stylist in here! Oh, and welcome to Neopian Fashions Part One: Brightvale!
