The Wraith Resurgence Plot Guide

This year's Festival is in full swing. Like the Winter Starlight festival in December, there are a few already-existing Faerie features that have been linked (such as the Wheel of Excitement, and Free Soup), but new this year: Wing It and Free the Faeries.

Free the Faeries
This is the NC component for the Festival. Similar to Haunted Hijinks, you'll buy a slingshot pack to receive an NC prize once a day for 7 days.

Free the Faeries slingshots (aka ticket packs) are available for purchase in the NC Mall.

Wing It
This appears to be a new Javascript-based game (aka "HTML5" to use the buzzword!) where you pin the wings on the faerie. All you need to do is make a few clicks. As a warning, this game has sound.

In the meantime, check out the Festival:


IMPORTANT: The event's FAQ mentions that there will be a bonus prize awarded for visiting each day until the 26th. Make sure to visit the Festival's main page each day in addition to Wing It!

Today has come with another new conversation in Faerieland ahead of the Faerie Festival starting tomorrow:

Fyora: Kaia! Come in, have a seat.

Kaia: You wished to see me, my queen?

Fyora: Yes. I'm sure you're aware of the preparations for the Faerie Festival that are going on. Which stall are you volunteering at?

Kaia: I... They all had volunteers, my queen. I couldn't find any stall where I could help at.

Fyora: Hmm, I thought so. Well, we'll need a stall for you then. I want you to go ahead and set up a game stall - something which is festive and fun to play. It would be a nice addition to the Faerie Festival.

Kaia: My own stall? But are you sure, my queen? Could I really do that?

Fyora: *smiling* Of course, I'm sure!

Kaia: Oh, I'm so excited! I'll get started immediately. I already have an idea in mind!

This also comes with the release of a new Neopedia article devoted to Kaia. This confirms she is a student at the Faerieland Academy, originally from Shenkuu.

It looks like the Faerie Festival will be making a triumphant return on September 20th. The below image was posted in this week's editorial:

This is hot on the heels of a conversation Fyora had with a few faeries in Faerieland earlier today.

UPDATE 17/9: New dialogue has appeared in Faerieland today:

Fyora: How are the preparations going?

Light Faerie: Oh, splendid! All the faeries seem really excited about it.

Fire Faerie: Yes, most of the stalls are already taken up.

Fyora: That's good to know. How about Kaia? Is she volunteering at any of the stalls?

Light Faerie: No, my queen. On the contrary, she's been staying away from all the preparations.

Fire Faerie: Yes. All the student vacancies have been filled. I don't think Kaia will be able to join in now.

Fyora: Could you please send her over to the palace when you find her?

Light Faerie: Yes, my queen. We will.

This appears to confirm the earlier image leak that there will be a new Faerie this year, Kaia:


And it seems that she may be a student of some kind.

It appears some dialogue is showing up in Faerieland. It's been rumored that we'd be receiving a Faerie Festival event, so this may be the start of it!

Light Faerie: Queen Fyora! Did you call for us?

Fyora: Yes, I did. I was thinking about the festival the other day. It's been a while since we've had a grand celebration and I was wondering if we could have one this year. It would be nice to invite other Neopians as well.

Fire Faerie: Wait, the festival? The Faerie Festival? Can we really do that this year?

Fyora: I think we should. And I know how much you both used to enjoy organizing such events.

Light Faerie: We would love to organize the festival, my queen!

Fire Faerie: Yes, definitely!

Fyora: That's wonderful! Let me inform the others then...

Fire/Light Faerie: *almost out of earshot* We're on it!
