The War for the Obelisk was a plot that began when a fearsome earthquake rocked Tyrannia and uncovered a strange Obelisk in February 2013. Six factions gathered to fight over it, eventually revealing an ancient spirit within known as the Oracle.
Factions[]
Spirits[]
Near the end of the war, six spirits came as the final challenge.
Digging for Relics[]
After the earthquakes stopped, an intrepid Zafara Digger took it upon himself to excavate the mysterious spire and got other players to scan for buried relics near the excavation site. Users could participate by purchasing Scanscopes from the NC Mall, scanning the area, and then digging up the prehistoric prize.
This event was held from February 11th, 2013-February 25th, 2013.

Aftermath[]
At the end of the war, the Sway emerged victorious, earning them the right to open the Obelisk. Inside, they found the ancient spirit known as the Oracle, and then discovered that it summoned the spirits to test their strengths. The Oracle claimed to know much of Neopia's coming future, but refused to reveal it so suddenly, so it instead decided to reward the Sway with "boons". A truce was then established between the remaining factions, but within mere weeks, they began fighting again, with the factions facing off against each other in smaller groups; it continues to this day. In the Battleground of the Obelisk, the Oracle rewards the winning factions with various boons to help them around the website.
