Map of Darigan Citadel

Darigan Citadel, which floats in the air thanks to many engines of an unknown mechanism, was once part of its own land of plenty, until King Skarl's knights stole a magical orb that kept the kingdom prosperous. The Citadel came to the Meridell region as part of the Champions of Meridell plot to wage war on King Skarl and his kingdom. During this time, the Citadel was ruled by Lord Darigan, who vanished at the end of the plot. Lord Kass took over in Lord Darigan's absence and waged a second war against Meridell from above as part of the Battle for Meridell plot, during which time it was know as 'Kass Citadel'. Darigan returned and took back his kingdom in the course of the plot.

Attractions include the Darigan Toys shop and the Petpet Battledome, along with the fortress' many dungeons and the games that have developed in them.

Darigan's Yooyuball team have few major weaknesses, although they have been criticized in the past for playing too easy a schedule during the regular season, and as a result are unprepared when the tournament comes. To fix this, Darigan Citadel relented and added more matches against a few of the better teams for the 2006 season. Due to this they didn't finish as high in the standings as they normally did, but it gave them the toughness to play in the games which mattered the most (or at least this is what the fans hoped). Their tactic paid off, and they managed to place 2nd in the Altador Cup, ending their reputation as post-season underachievers.

Rather than rest, however, the Citadel's team made an upgrade for the Goalkeeper, replacing the less-than-mobile Mungo Lifler with promising netminder Reshar Collifey for the 2007 season. And due to the success of the previous year's tactic, Darigan again faced a string of difficult teams for their regular schedule. Darigan was from the start considered the favourite of the 2007 Altador Cup, maintaining a position at the top of the leader-board for the round robin. In the finals it faced off against Roo Island's team and finally won the Cup on July 9th. However, they also fell to the curse of previous winner Haunted Woods and subsequent winner Roo Island to not be able to reach the standard again, placing seventh the following year and the following year, although showing promise initially, placing seventh again after a round one loss to Mystery Island.
