Illusen

"Illusen moved to Meridell to get some peace and quiet..."

Illusen is the resident Earth Faerie of Meridell, whom she gives aid to in times of need. The arch-nemesis of Jhudora and long time rival of the Werelupe King, Illusen bestows quests on those willing at her glade in Meridell. She is a lover of nature and its blessed creatures.

Plot summary

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie

Main article: Neopets: The Darkest Faerie

Act 1

Illusen sensed The Darkest Faerie's return before anyone else, but before she could warn anyone she was attacked in her glade by the Werelupe King and his Werelupes. The Werelupe King stole Illusen's Charm and her glade was taken over by The Darkest Faerie.

Act 3

Tormund and Roberta found the charm in Werelupe Woods and brought it back to Illusen for help in Meridell.

Illusen's Glade

Main Article: Illusen's Glade

Illusen's Glade is a quest a user can choose to complete once per day. Upon accepting the quest, the user has 16 minutes to find the item Illusen requests. The item can be obtained through any means - bought over the Shop Wizard or Trading Post, sent as a gift from a Neofriend, etc. Upon completion, the difficulty level of the next quest will increase. There are 50 levels of quests to complete, which Illusen rewards the user with a special item (every two or three quests) which gets more valuable the higher the levels go. Should a user start a quest and not return with the item in time, the user's quest level will be set back to Level 1. When a user chooses to do a Illusen's Glade quest, Jhudora will refuse to offer the user a quest for that day, just as Illusen will do if the user does a Jhudora's Bluff quest.

Random Event

Illusen may appear in a Random Event where she gives the player 10,000 Neopoints.

Illusen emerges from the woods and approaches you. "I had some spare Neopoints lying around so I thought you may like to have them." She leaves you with 10,000 NP!
