Lord Kass

2008-09-26T20:50:52Z

68.147.163.81:

[[Image:lg_346.gif|frame|Lord Kass [[NeoDeck]] image.]]
'''Lord Kass''' is an [[Eyrie]] and former general in the army of [[Lord Darigan]] and took over the rule of [[Darigan Citadel]] after his defeat. By exploiting the media, he managed to convince his people to go to war with [[Meridell]] again.

==Plot Summary==
===Battle for Meridell===
:''Main Article: [[Battle for Meridell]]''

After General Kass had gained enough support in the Citadel to claim he was Lord, he managed to convince his people [[King Skarl]] was ready to attack them. He suggested war, and, after his propaganda, his people agreed fairly quickly.

Kass then bribed and threatened his way to power. Those who held power under Darigan and opposed him were charged for treason and disposed of, most noticeably [[Master Vex]], who was locked in his own dungeon, and [[Galgarroth]], who was chained up and thrown from the floating fortress.

During this time, whenever Lord Kass slept his dreams would be haunted by [[The Three]], who claimed he wasn't strong enough, and would take away his power if he wasn't greedy enough to use it, to which Lord Kass begged they don't take it away.

Soon after, Lord Kass sent a dancer to [[King Skarl]], the daughter of the enchantress [[Morguss]], [[The Court Dancer]]. With her dance she hypnotised Skarl, making him delay sending his army against the oncoming forces, leaving [[Jeran]] defenceless and Lord Kass to proceed to attack Meridell. After the Court Dancer's spell was broken, Meridell fought back on the ground while Jeran went and attacked the Citadel directly.

Atop Darigan, Lord Kass trapped [[Morris]] and [[Count Boris]] in a corner, but was stopped by Jeran. Kass quickly disposed of him and threw him off the edge of the citadel, and was immediately attacked by [[Lord Darigan]].After a long battle, Lord Darigan destroys Lord Kass' amulet, and Kass retreats with fear into the citadel. There, The Three corner Lord Kass, and he disappears in an explosion of magic.

You shouldn't have frozen me. Surrender now, and I MIGHT let you live.

==Trivia==

*Lord Kass happens to be ambidextrous, both left and right handed as seen from certain Battle of Meridell chapters, but this is debatable.

*His rise to power and the reason the Citadel went to war again are noted by some to be EXTREMELY similar to the infamous dictator, [[Wikipedia:Adolf Hitler|Adolf Hitler]] and one of the reasons for World War II, the Treaty of Versailles.

Illusen's Glade Rewards

2006-08-22T17:14:19Z

68.147.163.194: /* Rose Shake */

== Illusens Cream Cookie ==

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/items/earth_creamcookie.gif
|}

'''Illusens Cream Cookie''' is a [[food]] iteam and is the first item a [[Neopian]] gets for completing the first level quest for [[Illusen]]. Because the cookie is rewarded at such a low level, it can often be bought cheaply off the [[Shop Wizard]], often for less than 10 NP.

 

== Illusens Comb ==

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/items/earth_comb.gif
|}

'''Illusens Comb''' is a [[grooming]] item that is leaf-shaped comb. It can be used to groom a [[Neopet]] and improve it's mood.

 

== Cucumber Eye Cream ==

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/items/faerie_earth_eyecream.gif
|}

'''Cucumber Eye Cream''' is a [[grooming]] item that is a reward for completing a quest for [[Illusen]] at level eight. Illusen makes it widely available, so it can be cheaply bought using the [[Shop Wizard]].

 

== Flower Cake ==

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/items/earth_faerie_flowercake.gif
|}

'''Flower Cake''' is a [[food]] item that is rewarded for completing a quest for [[Illusen]] at level seventeen.

 

== Rain Water Shampoo ==

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/items/earth_faerie_shampoo.gif
|}

'''Rain Water Shampoo''' is a [[grooming]] item that is rewarded for completing a quest for [[Illusen]] at level 20.

 

== Rose Shake ==

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/items/faerie_earth_roseshake.gif
|}

'''Rose Shake''' is a [[food]] item rewarded for completing a quest for [[Illusen]] at level 23. Because one must complete a considerable high level quest to get this item, and the fact that food items disappear after use, thus diminishing the supply, the Rose Shake is considerably expensive, running about 300 NP on the [[Shop Wizard]].

 

== Earth Spell Book ==

{|align=right
|http://images.neopets.com/items/faerie_earth_earthspells.gif
|}

'''Earth Spell Book''' is a [[book]] item rewarded for completing a quest for [[Illusen]] at level 26. Because it is attained only through doing a considerable amount of quests, and the nature of book items, the book is pretty expensive, running about 2000 NP on the [[Shop Wizard]].

 

== Leaf Taco ==

{|align=right
|http://images.designheaven.com/neoitems.net/images/Food/118354.gif
|}

The '''Leaf Taco''' is a [[food]] item rewarded by Illusen for completing a quest for her up to level 44. It is a rare and hard to find food both because it is hard to complete such a high quest level for Illusen and also because it is a gourmet food.
