Noel dePlante is a non-playable character in DragonVale. He was first mentioned in the Star Fall Event event as a significant part of the story behind the event.
Mentions[]
| “ | The Cooperative Breeding Cave is a marvel of wizarding ingenuity that allows two breeding caves to link their magic, working across space and time. With the help of everyone in DravonVale, the astronomancer Noel dePlante brought a piece of falling star safely to rest. He then did what any self respecting wizard would do with an unknown material - he crafted a breeding cave. Nogard says it's fine, as long as we don't destroy the universe. | ” |
| — Game Description (Cooperative Breeding Cave) |
| “ | While most witches and wizards search for dragons in the world below, Noel dePlante has spent his illustrious career looking up. Ignored by the magic-using community at first, Noel's theories have been verified by the arrival of the galaxy dragons. Noel has single-wandedly pioneered the field of astronomancy and used its principles to craft this starry habitat and make the galaxy dragons feel at home. | ” |
| — Game Description (Galaxy Island) |
| “ | No sooner had famed astronomancer Noel dePlante predicted a great star falling toward the islands than he began constructing a massive, multi-towered spire to help collect Star Dust. The star is almost certainly not going to damage anything, but just in case, we chipped in some Gems to help complete Noel's spire which should protect everyone, and also serves as a floating base for gathering magic Star Dust. The magical energy will be channeled toward keeping the star fall from causing another catostrophic, potentially world ending cataclysm. Again, not that we think that would actually happen. | ” |
