The Discovery of Shenkuu


In summer of Y8, a strange ship was noticed on the Krawk Island Map. If you visited the ship, you would discover a entire crew of Neopets, searching for their ships lost Navigator, Hoban. This was the start of the "Cyodrake's Gaze" plot (You can view the entire plot by clicking here.) During the plot, the strange ship traveled to many Neopian lands, such as the Lost Desert and even Faerieland! At the end of the plot, the land of Shenkuu was revealed to all of Neopia.



This plot was one of my all time favorites. The prizes for the plot included:



Hobans Leftovers

Hobans Mapbook

Hobans Hat


Prizes were won by answering a questionaire relating to Hobans dissapearance.

Famous People from Shenkuu


Hoban
Hoban, a Yellow Aisha, is the famous navigator of The Cyodrake's Gaze. He has navigated the Gaze thru many adventures, but none of those adventures can compare to the time he was pushed off the ship by a fellow shipmate, triggering an entire Plot dedicated in finding him. Hoban also has a number of items dedicated to him, such as Hoban's Leftovers, Hoban's Map Book, and Hoban's Hat, which were all prizes in The Cyodrake's Gaze plot. He also has an avatar modeled after him, which can be seen by clicking here. The avatar was obtained by answering two or more questions right in the Cyodrakes Gaze Plot. If you would like to see a video clip of Hoban from Year 8's Advent Calendar, simply click here.

Chef Bonju, a Orange Blumaroo, is the chef on the Cyodrake's Gaze. He has created some of the most excellent foods known in Neopia, but he has a bit of a temper. Bonju was accused of pushing Hoban off the ship after he insulted Bonju. Chef Bonju can be visited at the Culinary Concotions in Shenkuu. (More information in another section of the page.)


Chef Bonju

Orrin
Orrin was a crewmember aboard the Cyodrakes Gaze and is also the Exotic Foods shopkeeper. He is also featured in the game Revel Roundup. At first glance, Orrin might seem a bit dull. But I think that hes one of the most interesting characters in Shenkuu.

Kentari was one of the crewmembers aboard the Cyodrakes Gaze and is the shopkeeper at Wonderous Weaponry. Kentari also hosts the game Godori, which can be played by clicking here. He also has his own Neopedia article, which can be seen by clicking here.


Kentari

Shumi
Shumi was Captain Tuan's First Mate aboard the Cyodrakes Gaze. Shumi wasnt mentioned much in the plot, but he still was an important character.

Captain Tuan, was the captain of the ship "The Cyodrakes Gaze". He sailed the ship through Neopia, stopping at different places to search for Hoban like the Lost Desert and Faerieland.


Captain Tuan

Linae
Linae, an energetic pink Kougra, was one of the crewmembers aboard the Cyodrakes Gaze. Linae also hosts the game Kou-Jong. In my opinion, Linae was the youth and life on the ship when tensions were high.

Anshu, an old Ruki, was the Doctor aboard the Cyodrakes Gaze. He is also the shopkeeper of Remarkable Restoratives. In my opinion, Anshu seems exceedingly wise.


Anshu

Wise Old Gnorbu
The Wise Old Gnorbu lives at the Shenkuu Lunar Temple where he mantains the Shenkuu Lunar Calendar. At the Lunar Temple, you answer a question that deals with the movement of Kreludor. More information on the Lunar Temple in the next section.


The Shenkuu Yooyuball Team participated for the first time in the Altador Cup in Year 9. They also brought home an excellent 3rd place trophy. Hovering over each players headshot will reveal their name and position.

Chef Bonju's Cooking Pot




At Culinary Concoctions, you will find Chef Bonju, with a large vessel infront of him. This is his magical cooking pot, which is very similar to Jhuidahs Magical Cooking Pot, which can be found in Mystery Island.
There is no record on a successful concoction, and people work on cracking its mystery day and night. People believe by solving the mystery they can attain the Chef Bonju avatar.
You can visit the Avatar Chat Board to find a board where people are trying to crack the code.

Game Guides


In this section, you will find hints and different guides to the games featured in the section above. For those who have followed my guide for a while, you might have known that this section used to feature a Princess Lunara Guide. I have been given permission to put all these guides up.

Kou-Jong
I personally enjoy this game very much. It has a simple concept; click on the matching tiles.
Click here for a guide.

Eye of The Storm
This is a pretty easy game. Not one of my favorites, but its a great time pass, and easy way to make neopoints. Click here for a guide. Thank you npetrenko for sending me the link.

Godori
This can be a pretty complicated game, but other wise its pretty fun. Click here for a guide.

Revel Roundup
I love this game. Its like Usuki Frenzy, Shenkuu style! Its pretty easy, and fun to play. Click here for a guide.

Imperial Exam
This game needs one skill; being able to spell. Read thru each neopets spelling, to see if its correct. You probably wont be able to find a guide for this game, due to the fact that you wont need cheats or hints to succeed in it.

Princess Lunara
This is my all time favorite game. After a few practice rounds, you should be able to memorize most of the answers. The key to getting a high score is speed! Click here for a guide.

Shenkuu River Rush
In this 3-D game, you surf thru the waters of Shenkuu. After you learn the controls, it'll be a little easier. Shenkuu River Rush was actually featured in the Advent Calender, Day 19th 2007. Click here for the animation link. Click here for a guide.

Shenkuu Warrior
I love this game, its challenging and fun at the same time. Click here for a guide.
