'''Coltzan's Shrine''' is a large obelisk in the [[Lost Desert]] released to [[Neopia]] on September 3, 2001. It was created to pay homage to the [[Ghost]] of [[King Coltzan III]], an old king of [[Sakhmet]] who was poisoned on July 9, 2001.

==What it does==
Users with accounts older than 48 hours are able to go to the shrine and pray to King Coltzan in order to get a blessing every twelve hours. There are a number of different outcomes of this prayer...
*[[Neopet]]s can have their statistics increased, to become stronger or faster or more intelligent or increase levels.
*Be given an [[item]]. These range from [[Desert Food]] to [[Battledome]] weapons to [[Dubloon]]s. Many of theses items have become cheap and affordable, but there are items such as '''Kings Lens''' and '''Coltzans Sceptre''' which are powerful in the Battledome, and much more rare.
*A [[Neopoint]] reward, between a few hundred neopoints to 1 million (approximately 6 million to 1 chance of happening).
*Sometimes nothing will happen.

==Times to visit==
*Speed: Every fifth second
*Defense: Every tenth second
*Strength: Every thirty minutes
*Endurance: Every hour
*Level: Every two hours
*Burnt Food: 11:00 - 12:00 NST
*Dubloons: 55 seconds past the minute
*10 Strength Points: Go to king coltzan at exactly 2 ,4 ,6 ,8, 10, or 12 o'clock and you can gain ten levels at a time or exactly every 30 minutes after the hour to gain ten strength points.
*1 Million Neopoints: Exactly at Midnight NST.

These times are old rumors, and are not fact. It is possible that these times give increased chances for said rewards, but they are by no means 100% accurate. The rewards are random.

==Plot summary==
===The Hunt for the Crown===
:''Main Article: [[The Hunt for the Crown]]''
Upon the completion of King Coltzan III's shrine, his crown appeared to have been stolen by [[Heermeedjet and Merouladen|two Meercas]] when it was revealed. Users searched far and wide across Neopia to find the crown and put it back in its final resting place.

==Trivia==
*As of September 2006, there are two [[items]] featuring Coltzan's Shrine, a stamp in the ''Lost Desert'' section of the [[Stamp Album]], and a [[Brightvale Windows|Brightvale Window]].
*The Desert [[Rock]] also looks very much like Coltzan's Shrine.

Altador Plot

2006-10-18T13:01:20Z

68.1.102.170: /* Plot Summary */

{{Construction| reason=Plot summary needs to be filled, along with external links and prize section}}
{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/images/frontpage/hallofheroes_2006.gif
|}
The '''Altador Plot''' is the first official [[Plot]] of 2006 on [[Neopets]], involving the most recently added city of [[Altador]]. Began on March 28, 2006 and could officially be finished on June 2, 2006, but can still be completed by other users who have either just joined Neopets or haven't completed it yet.

==Plot Summary==
{{freshener}}
The plot began with a dark [[Hall of Heroes]], a mostly empty Book of Ages, and an [[Altador]] with no recall of its own history. The gears to open the hall's ceiling and let in the light had seized shut, but with some oil the participant managed to set them working again. The participant discovered a staircase leading up to an observatory, and an astronomy club opened shortly after. Equipped with a telescope from the club, the night sky was open for observation.

A few days later, clues started to appear in parts of Altador, clues that showed a configuration of points, which conformed to the heavens. The participant searched the night sky for the constellations each clue pointed to, and after each one was identified, and Altador's history begins to return, piece by piece, as a chapter in the Book of Ages. There were total of 12 constellations, one for each of the founders of Altador.

During this, the archivist [[Lenny]] realises that his entire archive is devoid of history books. Realising that some potent magic must be hiding their past, suspicion begins to fall on each hero in turn.

These clues were put in place by [[Jerdana]], the Protector. She and [[King Altador]] discovered a plot to erase Altador's history and replace it with a version where [[The Darkest Faerie]] founded the city, so as to eliminate resistance to her take over. In an attempt to save the city from the Betrayer, they blocked the citizens' memories, including their own, and The Darkest Faerie of her plan to change history. She laid down a complex magical puzzle for some determined soul to solve, someone who would not be effected by the memory spell and could question where the history had gone. Solving the final puzzle destroyed The Darkest Faerie's statue and restores the memories of the people of Altador.

===Book of Ages===
<blockquote>
'''Prologue''' 
{|align=left
|http://images.neopets.com/altador/book/prologue_splash.gif
|}
''Long ago, before the building of our great city, twelve heroes arose. Each was famous for different deeds of varying natures. The greatest of these heroes is the one whom we now know as King Altador. He, with the aid of the other heroes, founded our illustrious city by the sea.'' 
''Before the Great Betrayal, the kingdom of Altador was one of the most glorious places in all Neopia. It was a centre of culture and greatly admired for its dignified citizens. Those blessed times were nearly lost when one of our own, who once called herself an ally and friend to the heroes, turned her heart to darkness and attempted to destroy the city. Only by Jerdana's magic were we saved, though our future remains uncertain.'' 
''Within this tome you will find the recorded history of the twelve heroes and how they came to form the Kingdom of Altador. Protect this knowledge well, for it may be all that is left if Jerdana's magic fails and the betrayer succeeds....''

'''Epilogue - The Veiled Past''' 
''The early years flew by for King Altador and his council, as the city began to take form. For hundreds of miles, Neopians from all over the countryside flocked to the budding city. Its twelve heroic rulers pledged that, together, they would form the greatest and most noble city to ever grace Neopia's landscape. Even King Altador himself, when he wasn't holding court, would help place stones and build walls side by side with the his subjects.'' 
''These building sessions would often last late into the night, until the builders' torches had burned themselves out. The one who would one day come to be known as the Betrayer wished to use her magical powers to speed the process, but Altador simply shook his head each time she suggested it. "One appreciates a home far more when it is he who places its stones."'' 
''The truth of his words was bourne out by the immaculate care that Altador's inhabitants took of the city when it was finally completed. No one threw trash to the ground, or marked upon a wall, as that would only serve to dishonour and defile what they had strived so hard to create.'' 
{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/altador/book/epilogue_df_aa8d0886df.gif
|}
''Word spread of the magnificent city, and soon caravans began to arrive, bringing goods to be bartered for the amazing crops and fine products that the kingdom had started to produce. Within a few short years, the kingdom of Altador became known as a center of culture and enlightenment. Here, everyone could live out their lives in comfort and dignity.'' 
''To insure that the glorious city survived the ages, Siyana, the First to Rise, blessed its mortal heroes with the gift of great longevity. Decades came and went, and Altador remained a shining beacon to those who wished for just rulers.'' 
''Seeing that the kingdom was the envy of all others, the Betrayer suggested to Altador that Torakor and his soldiers be sent forth to unite all the other kingdoms under the Lupe's fair rule. Once again, Altador kindly denied her proposal. "Our army is a defensive one, not offensive. If I ordered Torakor to use the army to intimidate others into joining our kingdom, even if I thought that it would eventually be for their own good, I would be no better than the leader that Torakor once wisely stood against."'' 
''Although the Betrayer hated having her ideas declined, she could only admit that Altador's wisdom was once again correct. Some feel that events such as these sowed the seeds for her future betrayal. In the meantime, however, the kingdom of Altador continued to prosper, until that fateful day....''

==Prizes==
{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/altador/council/altador_closeup_dd32449a91.gif
|}
Prizes were released on September 16, 2006, 3 months after the plot could be fully completed. Users visit King Altador in the council chambers, who rewards the user with...

*The ''Altadorian Constellations [[Sidebar]] (not to be confused with the [[Altador Cup]] sidebar)
*5,000 Neopoints
*''Royal Astronomer'' [[Trophy]]
*Club President Super Plushie
*The Way Windmills Work
*Hall of Heroes Play Set
*Set of Four Commemorative Punch Club Pie Plates

After collecting these prizes, the user can return the next day and recieve a prize from King Altador, similar to a [[Dailies|Daily]]. On the chat boards, many Neopians have expressed diasppointment with the meager prizes.

The Editorial of the [[Neopian Times]] [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&issue=253 issue 253] stated users would be "mini-rewarded for [their] mini-efforts on the mini-plot", implying the prizes may not be as grand as previous plots. The same editorial states the plot was intended to run long so many users could participate. It's unknown how long the prizes will be given out and how long users will be able to complete the Altador Plot to recieve prizes.

==Trivia==
*On May 27, 2006, [[The Neopets Team]] declared on the news page the Altador Plot was over, and congratulated all those who found all constellations, and hoped everyone enjoyed their prizes. Two paragraphs down though, they claimed it was a joke, and they were still working on the next part, hopefully to be released next week.
*Finneus, the Lenny Archivist, is the uncle of the [[Conundrum Lenny]].
