The Consequences of Illusen Propaganda

It was that time of the month when the weewoos would fly in and drop the biweekly Neopian Times off at the entrance of everyone's home. A day of the month that normally went smoothly and unproblematic, but today was not that day for Whimthief. Collab with hectic_haley

Illusen, the Knight, and the Value of Prudence

Illusen looked up at the hovering Darigan Citadel before turning her attention back to a new patch of sprouting wildflowers just outside her Glade. She wondered if the Citadel would still be called that, if the reports were true that the Spectre of Lord Darigan, after rampaging all over Meridell, had vanished without a trace.

An Alien Aisha Vacations in Neopia: Illusen's Glade

When the Alien Aisha Yillix landed near the Vending Machine in Neopia Central, the first thing she did was study, for the sixty-seventh time, the list she'd made on the first page of her Dimensional Notebook.

Illusen at the Spring Masquerade

As Illusen lingered by the punch bowl in a new green dress and an itchy-with-enchantments mask, she knew she’d made a mistake. She didn’t usually go to these sorts of events.

A Quest for a Greener Neopia



Something has Happened! A freckled Earth Faerie smiles at you. “Hi there! Would you do a quest for me? Illusen Day is coming up! How will you help keep Neopia green in her honour?” Although this may feel like a monumental task at first, we have compiled a guide so that all Neopians can complete this quest for Illusen and for the good of Neopia in general! In fact, being green is easier than you would think! The little decisions you make throughout the day add up to make the biggest difference. For example, a simple green choice to make would be walking or biking around Neopia when possible. That is obviously not doable with a trip to Kreludor, but you can find almost everything you need, from clothing, food, plushies, etc., all within a quick stroll from Neopia Central to the Bazar or Plaza. Do your best to stay local and shop local whenever possible, to help keep our Neopia as beautiful as possible. Speaking of the Neopian Bazaar, have you ever visited the Neopian Health Foods shop to get some fresh organic produce? They’re full of nutrition, delicious, and beneficial to the environment as well! Organic foods use fewer pesticides, which means they won’t harm Buzzes, but also Petpets like Springabees, Scarabugs, Buzzers, Zebbas, Camarillers, and even Petpetpets like Mootix, Bumbluz, Fleaf, and Beelzebug. That’s because pesticides deter harmful insects, but also target beneficial insects leading to loss of all biodiversity. Organic food also contains more vitamins than regular produce because of the way it is grown.
