The Fairy Queen is the ruler of Zanaris and the fairies, and she plays a key role in the Fairy Tale quest series. She is also the creator of the fairy rings.[1]
Quests
In Fairytale I - Growing Pains the Fairy Godfather has stolen the Queen's secateurs. Players must save the Queen by returning her secateurs which Tanglefoot (a level 111 tree-like monster) drops.
In the sequel to Fairytale Part 1, Fairytale II - Cure a Queen, players do more research to find out how to cure the Queen. She is still sick and unable to move, so players do some snooping around Zanaris and find some glyphs on the back of a certificate. With the help of inscriptions on the mysterious ruins of the Cosmic Altar, players decipher the code and learn how to gain access to the Queen's quarters. Players must then create a potion to cure her. After all this is done, they gain the ability to use the fairy rings and have their own pair of magic secateurs.
While the Fairy Queen is sick, the player cannot talk to her. Only before and after both quests can the player speak to her.
To return to the queen, players must enter the following 4 fairy ring codes: AIR, DLR, DJQ, AJS (note that the third code will not transport the player anywhere new; simply enter the fourth and final code after the failed teleport to reach the hideout). If the quest is not completed, players are required to have Nuff's certificate in their inventory to access the hideout, otherwise a text prompt will appear in the chat box. In the past, players were always required to have Nuff's certificate in their inventory, however this is no longer the case after the quest.
The queen is surrounded by the fairies that stayed loyal to her, Fairy Nuff, and Fairy Very Wise.
Treasure Trails
Fairy Queen is the solution to the hard cipher clue: GBJSZ RVFFO. She will give the player a puzzle box to complete.
While the queen is incapacitated during Fairytale II she cannot talk to the player, and this clue step is incompletable. Also, even though the queen is located in her throne room before doing the Fairytale quests, she will not acknowledge a player's clue scroll here, and must be talked to in the hideout after completing Fairytale II.

- ^ Co-ordinator in Fairytale II - Cure a Queen. Old School RuneScape. "When we arrived here we found many of the magical properties of this place to be dormant. One of these was the ability to jump between planes using a powerful portal that had been sealed for centuries. The Fairy Queen harnessed that magic and created the fairy rings, these are not as powerful as the original portal would have been, but are very effective nonetheless."
