General Story Information

(To be filled in)

The Foundation of the New Fairyland

Ever since the original Fairy Land has been destroyed by the humans & Kublin, Queen Pixie worked very hard to make the "Great Fairy Auction" in the year 2008 to raise 1 billion zeny funds to rebuild the Fairy Land. However, some of the fairies remain skeptical about the heroes' contribution for the fairies. They still live in the days of the humans ruthlessly destroying the fairies' first home land, and believe that the help from the humans is a cover-up lie to take advantage of Queen Pixie. At one point, they even fought against each other, and the newly established Fairy Land lay desolate and empty as fairies are afraid of each other and all the conflict. To unite them together, Queen Pixie will prove that the humans' support will continue and that there are helpful and kind humans out there for the fairies. Queen Pixie is confident that she can raise another 1 billion zeny again to help solve the internal conflicts of the fairies, and make it so that the new Fairy Land is a better place.

Defense of Fairyland

As peace returns to the fairies, a disturbance arises to challenge the fragile peace obtained. As an unknown force attacks Fairyland and the fairies, Queen Pixie enlists the help of her fairy warriors but it is not enough. She requires more funds to acquire a powerful enough Guardian to protect Fairyland from this unknown force. Pixie hopes to raise 2 billion zeny to obtain to stop the unknown's attack once and for all.

Unknown's Strike

With the appearance of a mighty guardian in Fariyland, the Generals of the Unknown Force grow restless and begin their attack. Many fall the to the guardian, but some have managed to over-whelm it with pure numbers. Queen Pixie requests the help of any hero available to aid their defense when their guardian is over-run. Yet this enrages the Unknown, causing them to retaliate in larger numbers. Queen Pixie works with her elite to try to bring a permanent peace to her land and defend against outside invaders. To do so, they require funding for their research.

The Rise of the Dark Fey

The Tale of Lucretia's Past

On July 23, 2015, the wayward sister of Queen Pixie struck out at the town of Payon. With whip in hand, she summoned all sorts of plants, insects and beasts, claiming humans have destroyed Payon Forest. Leaving the town to resemble an overgrown jungle, she made her way to Payon's Palace, only to be confronted by some of the many heroes who came to liberate the town of its floral oppressors. In the wake of the fruitless and violent confrontation, Queen Pixie and Fairy Navi agreed to meet with the heroes to fill in the blanks on the rogue fey.

As the past of the royal clan was rehashed, the interested parties learned that Lucretia was once in love with a human knight named Jin, who was helping rebuild Fairyland. Queen's sister was betrayed,presumably by her love interest, her wings- torn to shreds. The betrayal and the heartbreak proved too much for Lucretia, who chose to leave her wings torn, and to nurse a grudge against the likes of men.

Queen Pixie also mentioned Fairy Cynbel, who had frequently been seen in Lucretia's company. After much indecision and bickering, the gathered adventurers decided to mount a search for the fairy man under consideration, who was frequently seen in mountainous areas.

After a wild, cross-continental chase, Cynbel was finally cornered in the wilderness west of Hugel by the high priest Sacerdos Signat. Together with Ezekiel Stalker and Cutty Wren, they managed to gather further information about the situation. While Cynbel did not have answers, he did have a hint: the dark fairy loved pie above most other things. The fairy agreed to fix her a consolatory pie in the name of the humans, if the adventurers managed to gather the ingredients for him. A deadline was given and the heroes set off to cobble together a small wagon-ful of peaches and many dozen eggs.

The Offering of Peace

A group of humans decided to find out about Lucretia. Pixie and Navi sent them to Cynbel, who could usually be found in the woods north of Prontera or Hugel Fields. Cynbel agreed to help the heroes try to appease Lucretia, and made the perfect peach pie to present it to her as an offering of peace from the humans. Apparently, the female fairy was pleased, saying that maybe humans do deserve a second chance. She invited the farmers behind the offering to her humble adobe, which, coincidentally, used to be the Archmage Mystra's old castle.

On the day of July 28th, the masses gathered at the destined spot. The Dark Fairy herself arrived fashionably late, and in a lovely cream-colored gown, which was an improvement over her usual gloomy attire. Some greeted her, some went the extra mile and bowed, while others asked for Cynbel, as well as for her true intentions. It seemed that the baker fey was not making an appearance tonight, and Lucretia's desire was to rebuild Fairyland back to its former glory.

The castle was dark and dreadful, as would be expected from a place that once belonged to Mystra. The bushes were well-taken care of however, a sign that Lucretia was eco-friendly. The heroes followed her inside the castle, to a room without as much as a sign of refreshments- for, of course, talks of business came first. Many questions were thrown about, and the fey explained the reason behind her Payon raid with seeming honesty. She had been after the replica of the Moonlight Flower bell, which, too, could raise the dead.

The party was a ruse, of course- Lucretia sent grass mutants to kidnap several of her guests for her own grotesque amusement.The unfortunate souls had been Summerstream, Balawan, Kotori, and Galoo. The rest of the humans, consisting of Ezekiel Stalker, Procyon, Nikki, Avaricious, Super Icy and Sacerdos Signat, sought to save them with the help of the recently arrived Fairy Cynbel. Much castle-sneaking was done, a garden maze-traversed, and the rescue party ended up in a cave sealed since the time of Mystra.

Following the defeat of many dark monstrosities therein, Cynbel's love for Lucretia became more obvious when he pleaded the heroes not to kill her. The group, reached the prison shortly after, narrowly avoiding a Lord of Death and freeing their captured compatriots. Trekking back through the dungeon of Lucretia's castle, something followed the heroes. The Lord of Death would not give up the chase. Using wit and ice walls, Cynbel and the heroes lured the pale horseman and trapped it long enough to run away.

At the castle lobby, Cynbel was trapped and captured by Lucretia's forces. Another battle erupted shortly thereafter as the humans, left to fend for themselves, strove valiantly to overcome a new wave of fey-summoned plant life. The decisive moment happened when a clown flung a tarot card. The Chariot. Lucretia's wings crippled, and fell to the ground in pieces. The Dark Fey herself was not so easily defeated, of course- crawling away while swearing a revenge most terrible, and teleporting away when push came to shove.

Upon the heroes' return to Fairyland, a strangely complacent Queen Pixie rewarded them for their efforts. Ezekiel Stalker suggested they search Cynbel's home for clues, while Nikki Sixx and Sacerdos Signat would arrange a meeting with the Chief of Payon regarding Moonlight's Bell. Fairy Cynbel remained missing, and our heroes were already having second thoughts about meddling in family squabbles of the fey.

Fallen From Grace - The Moonlight Bell

The Chief of Payon had kindly granted the heroes an audience. Our merry mob, led by Nikki and Sacerdos Signat, piled into the Payon Palace to learn more about the properties of the Moonlight Bell's replica.

Like the original, the bell can revive the dead when rung. But it's also as cursed as the real one, for which it was hidden in a small cave below the palace. The Chief of Payon agreed to let the visitors take the bell, not knowing the true motives of some of them.

The successful quest for the bell was conducted. The artifact was seized by Nikki, who promptly rang it and fell into a cursed, sleep-like state. The unfortunate side effect of the bell's use left the merry party neck-deep in skeletons. Following the dismemberment of these, it was detemined that Nikki'd tried to summon his sister.

An effort was made by the party to return Nikki to a proper state of mind- he was dragged bodily to Prontera Church, where High Priest Bamph performed the ceremony to save the unfortunate man's life. In the hubbub, no one managed to keep track of the bell replica.

In retrospect, someone really should have- for Galoo the magician, Ciar the mage and Reilinn the sneak have all conspicuously bailed from the group. Just as the search party arrived in Niflheim town square, the bell was used the second time in the same night. Ciar wishes to speak to Jin, and did just that, learning that the mortal knight had not been the one to tear apart Lucretia's wings. Instead, all evidence pointed to one fairy Cynbel.

To confirm Cynbel's betrayal, the group of heroes ransacked the suspect fae's house. Among common items, they found a book on Fae biology, and a piece of wing webbing. Unsure of it's origins, they traveled to Aldebaran to have the wing webbing compared to a piece of wing the Paladin Summerstream had taken from Lucretia. The test confirmed the two items matched. Everything seemed to make sense. The preparing of a peach pie which Lucretia was apparently allergic to, and the hateful comments about Jin. It wasn't coincidence.

Cynbel had fallen from grace.

The following day, Queen Pixie met with the adventuring brigade and expressed her disapproval of the war-chief's betrayal. In an attempt to repair Lucretia's wings, Summerstream made a suggestion regarding the healing properties of Yggdrassil, the tree of life. The group ventured to collect sap of the World Tree, only to learn that it wasn't in the greatest of shapes either.

Fearing that taking sap would bring further harm to the tree, they decided to use an alternative: yggdrasil berries. The juice of the berries are said to contain a similar regenerative property.
